The Škoda Felicia, launched in 1994 and produced until 2001, was a critical model for Škoda after its integration into the Volkswagen Group. It represented a significant step forward in terms of technology, quality, and design, and helped Škoda further cement its reputation as a maker of reliable and affordable vehicles.
The Felicia was initially launched with a 1.3-liter petrol engine, delivering either 50 or 68 horsepower, depending on the configuration. Later, a 1.6-liter petrol engine was added to the lineup, offering 75 horsepower. The car also featured a 1.9-liter diesel engine, producing either 64 or 68 horsepower, which was introduced in 1996.
