Skoda enjoys a long-standing reputation of a company that invests in education. The company founded its own Skoda Auto School in 2000, where students could develop and design real cars that will enter the market and be driven by real people. Their fifth and latest such project is the crossover/convertible model named Sunroq.
The Skoda Sunroq utilizes the base of Karoq, but is conspicuously lacking the roof. It also still has rear doors, which is uncommon in this car design. Equipped with new sport-grade suspension, it rides slightly lower than the Karoq. The students have also redesigned the door handles and the a-pillars, and added a fancy kind of illumination that projects the Skoda logo onto the ground next to the vehicle.
The hood cover of the Sunroq conceals a 1.5-liter turbo engine whose performance isn’t being revealed. It is reported, however, that the car takes 8.4 seconds to accelerate 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) and tops out at 204 km/h (127 mph).
A team of 23 students has been working on the project starting in October 2017.
