斯柯达在本届巴黎车展，除了发布柯迪亚克RS之外，还发布了一款VisionRSHybrid混动五门掀背概念车，这款车旨在迎合目前的紧凑型掀背车热潮。该车基本上属于昕锐的后继车型，未来该车将演变成一款更精致的掀背车型，其竞争对手包括大众高尔夫和福特福克斯。由于该车指向的是动力更强劲的RS版本，因此竞争对象还包括了高尔夫GTI和福克斯ST等车型。该车外观比昕锐/昕锐Spaceback强百倍，VisionRS采用了更时尚设计语言，有望移植到最终量产版上。该车长度为4356毫米，高1431毫米，款1810毫米，轴距2650毫米。比昕锐Spaceback更长，更低矮，更宽。预计在明年推出的量产版车型上也将采用概念车相同的长宽高和车身比例。该车行李箱储物容积为430立升，比昕锐Spaceback增加了15立升。该车除了拥有抢眼的内外装外，还提供了混动系统，包括一台1.5升TSI汽油引擎和一台电机，综合功率180千瓦/241马力，车辆百公里加速时间7.1秒，最高时速210公里，80-120公里/小时中段加速时间8.9秒。为电机提供电能的是一台13千瓦时锂电池组，完全充满电耗时2.5小时。该车在纯电动模式下的续航里程为70公里，车辆每公里二氧化碳排放量为33克，环保性能优异。
Skoda Vision RS Hybrid Hot Hatch Powers Into Paris
Coinciding with the unveiling of the Kodiaq RS, the new Skoda Vision RS concept is a sharp five-door hatchback serving a taste of things to come in the compact car segment. Essentially, this is an early look at the Rapid successor, with the future model set to evolve into a proper, more refined compact hatch to compete with the Volkswagen Golf and the Ford Focus. With this concept previewing a potential RS version, it has been designed to give us an idea of what to expect in terms of a GTI and ST rival.
Looking a million times more exciting than the Rapid / Rapid Spaceback on sale today, the Vision RS embraces a much more stylish design language that hopefully will rub off onto the production models. The vehicle is 4356 millimeters long, 1431 mm tall, 1810 mm wide, and with a wheelbase measuring 2650 mm. That makes it longer, lower, and much wider than the Rapid Spaceback, and we’re expecting similar proportions for the regular production version coming next year. With a cargo capacity of 430 liters, it offers an extra 15 liters over the Rapid Spaceback.
Aside from featuring a promising design inside and out, the Vision RS also catches the attention thanks to its hybrid powertrain combining a 1.5-liter TSI gasoline engine with an electric motor. It has a combined output of 241 hp (180 kilowatts) good enough for a sprint from 0 to 62 mph (100 kph) in a decent 7.1 seconds before maxing out at 130 mph (210 kph). It needs 8.9 seconds to complete the 50-75 mph (80-120 kph) task.
Using a 13-kWh lithium-ion battery pack that can be fully recharged in two and a half hours, the concept has an all-electric range of 43 miles (70 km). Being a hybrid, it means the Skoda Vision RS manages to remain quite frugal and emits just 33 g/km of CO2 to provide the best of both worlds – performance and efficiency.
