A professional team of designers, engineers, and experts in other fields of specialty work in the Design Center on development of new automobiles for ŠKODA. Using drawings and models, the Exterior Division designs the external appearance, while specialists in the Interior Division elaborate on the details in the interior. In order to be able to evaluate designs realistically, a Model Shop makes life-size models from modeling clay at a 1:1 scale, which are indistinguishable from actual automobiles.

The Color & Trim Shop designs upholstery fabrics for the seats, colors of the lacquer, and all other materials to give the interior a comfortable and pleasant appearance. Workers in the CAD Design Division generate computer-based models of components (e.g., wheels), create data for subsequent machining of ŠKODA Auto components, and ensure exchange of information with the relevant design units.
