Skoda will show that it plans a more sophisticated style direction with a close-to-production concept to debut at Frankfurt, MissionL, writes Brian Byrne.
The C-segment car will have a 'liftback' design, and just-released pictures reveal a very clean shape and style elements.

The production version will be a 'global' car, to be sold in Europe, Russia and China. It will be the first in a product renewal programme which schedules a new car every six months 'for the next two or three years', according to the company, the Czech subsidiary of Volkswagen.
