Instead, it makes use of an innovative hybrid drive concept that couples a four-cylinder turbo engine, fueled by CNG (compressed natural gas), with electric motors. This means it should achieve particularly low fuel consumption and emissions of around 93g\/km.Design-wise, this modern crossover features crystalline accents inspired by traditional Bohemian glass art, while inside, there\u2019s a large touchscreen display and a new operating concept in terms of infotainment and connectivity.It\u2019s no slowpoke either, with a 128bhp power output of the two drive units pushing the Vision X from zero to 62mph in 9.3 seconds with a top speed of 124mph.We\u2019ll also get a pure electric version of Skoda\u2019s city car – the e-Citigo – to compeiment VW\u2019s e-up! with production starting in 2019, as well as a Superb plug-in hybrid.Away from hybrids and electric vehicles, Skoda will introduce 19 new models and derivatives between now and 2020, including the much-anticipated Kodiaq vRS.Which new Skoda are you most looking forward to?
