Putting aside the cute girls in the little white dresses, here is the Skoda MissionL Concept in live pics from Frankfurt. The new sedan concept will soon become a production model on world markets, including Europe, and will be the sixth Skoda model in the line-up to be placed between the Fabia and the Octavia.
The Skoda Mission L Concept is a large model measuring 4.5 metres long, and much of that space is dedicated to the interior in a roomy environment for passengers. No technical specs were released at the show but we can expect a standard VAG engine range.
The production version Mission L should be ready for an Indian market debut by 2011 end, to be then rolled out across international markets with Europe and Russia following in 2012. The difference between models for various markets will mostly be the trim available. Other models from Skoda at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show are the Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo edition and new Yeti and Roomster models.

Some might say that Skoda is “Volkswagenising”, and others might see this new Mission L Concept as an example of how the Skoda brand has matured under VW ownership. Despite the rear design in these images, apparently the Skoda Mission L Concept is actually a five-door hatchback.
In any case, the concept marks a new C segment model for Skoda on international markets and will be available in Europe, China and Russia as part of the brand’s expansion plans. No details on the platform or engine range have been released and compared to the futuristic and more Audi-like VisionD Concept seen at Geneva we get a boxier, more 80’s look on this model.
The new Mission L Concept is an introduction to a model which should slot in between the Octavia and the Fabia (rather than substituting the Octavia), in order to provide a more complete offering in the Skoda range, but more details will be available when the concept is officially presented at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
