SKODA Felicia (Type 791)
The SKODA Felicia was the first all-new model that was developed after the link-up between SKODA and the German VW group. It was premiered on Charles Bridge in Prague, in October 1994. Three cars in the colours of the tricolour were christened with water from the Vltava by the Mayor of Prague.
The car, whose name refers to the long tradition of car manufacturing in Mladá Boleslav (the SKODA Felicia, type 994, was produced at the start of the 1960s), went into mass production in 1994. The SKODA Felicia brought not only changes that were visible at first glance, such as modern, rounded shapes and a pleasant interior, but the car made the qualitative shift generally evident.
