Skoda - Joyster Concept.
Due to go on sale in 2009, the production model will not only be the Czech firm's first step into the city car market, but also its first three-door model since it joined the VW Group.
The stylish Joyster features a large aeroplane-style wraparound windscreen with blacked-out A-pillars and a bold chrome grille, similar to that on the Roomster supermini-MPV. Inside, the newcomer is equipped with a docking station for a laptop, Internet connectivity, changeable seat covers and removable storage pockets on the chair backs.
Several of these clever features are expected to make it into production. For example, the powerful LED headlamps and the split tailgate - which has a pair of built-in seats that fold out for picnics - are likely to be popular with potential buyers.
Chief designer Jens Manske said: "We wanted to create a young person's car. They are always interested in the latest technology and need practical solutions. The Joyster is very well equipped in that respect."
Meanwhile, the next-generation Fabia is scheduled to go on sale in June this year. The new model will be bigger than the popular supermini it replaces, and is set to offer a more stylish look inside and out. Part of this revamp will include new MINI-style two-tone colour schemes, with the roof painted a different colour to the body.
