Over a period of around eight months, 23 students aged 17 to 20 years worked on the ŠKODA SUNROQ. The students from seven different fields of study were supported in their work by their teachers at the school and by experts from the ŠKODA Technical Development, Design, and Production departments.

To find a name for the vehicle, the students invited ŠKODA customers and fans to submit suggestions via social media channels. The name SUNROQ was finally chosen from several hundred proposals. The author of the winning submission was invited to the SUNROQ’s official press presentation, where he met the students and was even given the chance to take the SUNROQ for a spin.

“It’s a great feeling to be able to present the SUNROQ to the public,” says Michal Bydžovský, one of the 23 participating vocational students “The last eight months have been a great challenge for the entire team, but I think we have done a great job.”

Carsten Brandes, Head of ŠKODA Academy adds: “The result of this project demonstrates the quality of the professional training that the students receive at the ŠKODA Vocational School. You can clearly see the competence of our students and how much passion has gone into producing the SUNROQ.”

The first steps involved reinforcing the body of the ŠKODA SUNROQ and removing the fixed roof. This required modifying all four doors and redesigning the tailgate from scratch. Compared to the luggage compartment volume of 521 litres in the production model ŠKODA KAROQ, the ŠKODA SUNROQ actually boasts an even larger boot. In addition, the team developed new door trims, adjusted the A-pillars and completely removed the B-pillars, which also required rerouting the seatbelts directly through the front seats. Modified front and rear bumpers complete the alterations to the car’s body. The 2,638-millimetre wheelbase remained unchanged, as did the vehicle’s length at 4,382 millimetres and its width of 1,811 millimetres. The SUNROQ stands at 1,480 millimetres tall.
