The new spy images reveal that the new sedan gets a signature Skoda grille, halogen headlamps and fog lamps. The vehicle gets a notchback design from the rear, which is inspired by the new Octavia. It will have balanced proportions, sharp edges and vibrant design elements. It is expected to share the interior features and specs with the new Skoda Kushaq mid-sized SUV.

It was speculated that the new sedan will replace the Rapid. The sedan will be larger than the Rapid. It is expected that the new model could sit alongside the Rapid, which is the same strategy adopted by Honda Cars India. Honda is selling the new City alongside the older model.
