Skoda's Mission L concept car, which made its debut at this September's Frankfurt Motor Show, will be manufactured in China, sources reported on Nov 7. The news was confirmed by an official statement from Skoda China.
According to the words of Skoda Auto CEO Winfried Vahland, the compact five door hatchback represents a new aggressive strategy for the manufacturer. Vahland added that Skoda would be releasing a new model every six months for the next two to three years.
In other news, Skoda will be coming out with a new model made in partnership with Shanghai VW. According to reports, it will be a compact sedan placed between the Octavia and Fabia. Intellectual rights to the new car will be shared between Skoda and Shanghai VW. This means that whatever the final form of the Mission L is, it will be Skoda China's sixth model.
