Partnering with the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships is reinforcing our commitment to become the top brand for active and functionally-oriented customers. It connects us with people who value freedom, exploration and practical solutions, and see cycling as a natural part of their lifestyle.”

2025 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships showcase seven disciplines
The 2025 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships will take place this year in an entirely new format, bringing multiple formats together in a single two-week event: cross-country Olympic, cross-country short track, cross-country marathon, e-mountain bike cross-country, downhill, enduro & e-enduro, and pump track. In total, 27 UCI World Championship titles will be awarded.
The championship opens with an inaugural weekend in the Alpine city of Sion, promising a thrilling atmosphere with a spectacular downhill showcase and a world-record attempt. The opening show will also feature unique artistic performances. Given the breadth of disciplines, the races will be held at six further locations, including the well-known resorts of Zermatt and Crans-Montana. Up to 100,000 fans are expected to attend.

Škoda’s debut will engage fans on location and viewers at home
The new Škoda Enyaq as well as the Kodiaq will be prominently shown at selected venues and along the course of downhill and cross-country tracks. At the same time, the new Enyaq will join the Elroq as display vehicles in the expo area. Fans with access to the Škoda hospitality area can look forward to outdoor- and mountain-bike-themed experiences, such as trying out roof tents on Škoda vehicles and taking test rides on bicycles from the Czech brand.
Another highlight for spectators will be the ‘hot seat’ for the current downhill leader, finished in Škoda livery. Škoda Auto will also run competitions for mountain-bike fans on its WeLoveCycling.com platform, offering the chance to win a range of prizes, including a specialised Škoda carbon gravel bike and VIP tickets to the Škoda hospitality area at the championships.

Škoda Auto’s broad support for cycling now includes gravel
In May this year, Škoda announced it will be partnering with two flagship UCI events for the next two seasons: alongside the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships, the UCI Gravel World Championships, which take place in October in the Dutch province of Limburg.
The Czech automaker’s history is closely linked to bicycles. In 1895, Václav Laurin and Václav Klement – Škoda Auto’s founders – started with a bicycle factory in Mladá Boleslav. Cycling is one of the main pillars of Škoda Auto’s sponsorship activities, including world-renowned road events. Chief among these are the Tour de France and the Vuelta a España stage races. The carmaker also extended its partnership with organiser A.S.O. last year through to 2028, under an agreement that includes organisational support for a number of men’s and women’s competitions each year. Škoda also sponsors the women’s races Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift and La Vuelta Femenina, as well as La Flèche Wallonne and the revived Peace Race.

 Škoda Auto releases a teaser video showcasing the first interior details of the Vision O design study. It offers a glimpse into the future of Škoda’s new interior design concept, emphasising a harmonious and customer-focused layout – based on the next generation of Škoda’s Modern Solid design language. The interior and its materials will focus on circular economy principles, considering waste by-products as a valuable resource.

“The interior design concept of the Vision O showcases our commitment to combining simplicity and sustainability with enhanced comfort. The combination of clean lines and intuitive functionality reflect our efforts to create a harmonious and functional interior. It features materials and design elements that are not only aesthetically an evolution of our Modern Solid design language but also emphasize environmental responsibility.”

Oliver Stefani, Head of Škoda Design

A first glimpse of the interior concept of the Vision O
The new interior design features a spacious layout and an ergonomic design, ensuring comfort and practicality. The minimalist style with clean lines and simple shapes creates a feeling of calmness and safety. Practical use of space and intuitive controls enhance functionality and simplify the driving experience. Unique 3D printed headrests feature an airy design for both the driver and front passenger, contributing to a comfortable atmosphere within the interior of the car.

Focus on sustainable materials
The use of uniform materials ensures a consistent look and feel inside the car. Following circular economy principles, plant-based and compostable components play an important role inside the car and are used to reduce the environmental footprint.

New concept to be unveiled in September
Škoda Auto will unveil its Škoda Vision O design concept, which represents the brand’s future direction in the estate segment, during its world premiere on September 8, 2025, in Munich. Interested parties will be able to watch the presentation online on Škoda Auto’s YouTube channels.

Smooth lines and distinctive light motif
The video teaser showcases a new B-pillar design, which seamlessly connects to the rear of the body. The sloping roof with a split roof spoiler leads to the narrow taillights, which forms a characteristic ‘T’ shape, evoking the typical ‘four-eyed’ lighting motif. The Škoda lettering and the model designation ‘Vision O’ on the fifth door complements the design of the rear bumper, emphasising the concept’s unique, modern exterior styling.

Škoda Auto took part in the 15th Prague Pride Festival (28 July–4 August) for the fourth consecutive year and, for the first time, served as the event’s main partner. More than 100 employees – along with members of the Škoda Proud employee group – joined workshops and the main parade. Colleagues from partner organisations 42 Prague, Digiteq Automotive and Škoda Auto University also marched alongside the Škoda team. Festival-goers were able to view the Elroq Respectline, a one-of-a-kind show car celebrating mutual respect, diversity and inclusion. Displayed all week on a floating pontoon on the River Vltava in the heart of Prague, the vehicle also formed part of the closing parade through the city. Škoda’s holistic sustainability strategy incorporates employee care, diversity and inclusion, and is underpinned by a commitment to open, fair working conditions. In June this dedication earned the company the Pride Business Forum’s Award in Bronze category for LGBTQ+ Friendly Employer.

‘Where is my home?’ – Škoda champions belonging and inclusion at Prague Pride
This year’s festival centred on the theme ‘Where is my home?’, prompting reflection on safety, acceptance and belonging. LGBTQ+ people often encounter prejudice, restrictive norms and rejection – challenges that resonate with many other communities across society.

As an event partner, Škoda hosted an event stand, where it presented its diversity and inclusion initiatives alongside selected vehicles. Karsten Schnake, Board Member for Procurement and sustainable-development advocate, joined employees at the event. The Škoda Proud employee group participated in numerous activities as well as walking in Saturday’s main parade.

Visitors could also view the all-electric Škoda Elroq Respectline. Displayed on a floating pontoon on Střelecký Island on Vltava River, the rainbow-themed vehicle drew significant attention and later joined the parade. Created earlier this year to emphasise Škoda’s commitment to mutual respect, diversity and inclusion, the show car had already featured prominently during European Diversity Month in May, highlighting the importance of human rights and fair treatment for all.

Recognition for diversity, equality and inclusion at Škoda Auto
Škoda Auto has long advocated for diversity, inclusion and fair treatment in the workplace, and has been a signatory to the European Diversity Charter since 2019. Its efforts have earned multiple accolades, most recently the Pride Business Forum’s Award in Bronze category for LGBTQ+ Friendly Employer. The judging panel appreciated the company’s balanced performance across all assessed areas and praised the proactive contribution of the Škoda Proud employee group.

Diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) form an integral part of Škoda Auto’s broader environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy. In the latest independent ESG assessment, the company recorded an above-average DEI score of 94%. Further details are available in the latest Diversity Annual Report published in May.
