Production of the ŠKODA FELICIA began in Mladá Boleslav on 17 October 1994: 25 years ago, the successor to the FAVORIT became the Czech carmaker’s first model to be developed under the umbrella of the Volkswagen Group.
The FELICIA was successful in motorsport and was also very well received by customers: by 2001, the Mladá Boleslav, Kvasiny and Vrchlabí plants had manufactured more than 1.4 million units of this model family, which included not only the hatchback and FELICIA COMBI versions, but also the PICKUP, VANPLUS and FUN.
A new chapter in ŠKODA AUTO’s history began a quarter of a century ago with the ŠKODA FELICIA.
The company had been visually modernising the FAVORIT, FORMAN and PICK-UP before joining the Volkswagen Group in 1991.
Introducing the FELICIA, however, proved to be a turning point for ŠKODA: 1,187 newly developed vehicle components were used in the technically demanding redevelopment of its predecessor.
The hatchback, COMBI, PICK-UP, VANPLUS and FUN model variants combined modern technology and fresh design with a spacious interior and an attractive price-performance ratio.
