From the cobbled streets of Prague to dealerships across Europe, Skoda’s lineup has evolved a lot over the decades. Longtime owners and curious readers alike follow those changes to understand which models shaped the brand and why some no longer appear on the road.
There are 20 Skoda Discontinued Models, ranging from 100/110 to Yeti. For each entry you’ll find below the key details organized by Years produced, Market/Region, Successor — presented so you can quickly see when a model ran, where it was sold, and what replaced it; you’ll find below.
Why were these Skoda models discontinued?
Models are usually phased out for practical reasons: shifting customer demand, stricter emissions and safety rules, platform consolidation within the Volkswagen Group, or to make room for newer designs and technology. Discontinuation often reflects broader market trends rather than just poor sales.
How can I get parts or documentation for a discontinued Skoda?
Start with official parts catalogs and the Škoda Classic program, then check specialist breakers, aftermarket suppliers, owners’ clubs, and enthusiast forums; VIN information helps when searching, and many hard-to-find items turn up on used-parts marketplaces and auction sites.

Images and Descriptions
Popular
A highly successful and affordable car that made motoring accessible in pre-war Czechoslovakia. Its robust backbone chassis was a hallmark that influenced post-war models before being replaced.
Superb (original)
Škoda’s pre-war luxury flagship, representing the pinnacle of its engineering. Production ceased after nationalization, as Tatra became the designated maker of luxury cars for the state.
Rapid (original)
A successful mid-sized family car positioned between the smaller Popular and larger Superb. Its model line was discontinued due to the company’s post-war restructuring and focus on new designs.
1101/1102 ‘Tudor’
One of the first post-war models, based on the pre-war Popular. The “Tudor” (two-door) was crucial for rebuilding the company and was eventually replaced by the more modern all-steel Škoda 1200.
1200/1201
A family of mid-sized cars with an all-steel ponton body, offered in many commercial variants. The passenger car line was effectively replaced by the revolutionary rear-engined 1000 MB.
440/445/450 ‘Spartak’
Nicknamed ‘Spartak’, this was the precursor to the original Octavia. It introduced the modern chassis with a backbone frame and independent suspension that would be used for years.
Octavia (original)
A robust and popular front-engine, rear-drive family car. The sedan was replaced by the modern rear-engined 1000 MB in 1964, though the practical Combi (estate) version remained in production until 1971.
Felicia (original)
An elegant and stylish convertible based on the original Octavia. A rare and desirable classic today, production ceased as Škoda shifted its entire focus to the new rear-engined 1000 MB platform.
1000 MB/1100 MB
A revolutionary rear-engined family car for its time, featuring a monocoque body and a die-cast aluminum engine block. It was replaced by the facelifted and closely related S100/110 models.
100/110
An evolution of the 1000 MB, this rear-engined sedan was Škoda’s first model to exceed one million units produced. It was updated and replaced by the visually similar but re-engineered 105/120 series.
110 R
A sporty 2+2 rear-engined coupe based on the 100/110 series, beloved by enthusiasts. It enjoyed a long production run before being replaced by the more modern-looking Garde coupe.
105/120/125/130 Series
A family of rear-engined sedans that defined Škoda for a generation in the Eastern Bloc. They became increasingly outdated and were replaced by the radically modern front-wheel-drive Favorit hatchback.
Garde/Rapid (Type 743)
A rear-engined coupe based on the 105/120 series, often called the “poor man’s Porsche”. Production ended with its sedan counterparts as Škoda’s strategic shift to front-wheel drive platforms left no room for a successor.
Favorit
A landmark front-wheel-drive hatchback with Bertone styling that modernized Škoda’s image. After the VW Group takeover, it was heavily re-engineered and relaunched as its direct successor, the Felicia.
Felicia
The first Škoda developed with Volkswagen investment, representing a major leap in quality over the Favorit it was based on. It was a successful transitional model replaced by the all-new Fabia.
Roomster
A unique MPV praised for its quirky styling and highly practical, versatile interior. It was discontinued due to declining sales in the MPV segment and Škoda’s strategic pivot towards SUVs like the Karoq.
Yeti
A beloved and characterful compact SUV, famous for its boxy design, practicality, and driving dynamics. It was replaced by the more conventionally styled Karoq as part of Škoda’s unified SUV design strategy.
Rapid (India)
A successful sedan for the Indian market, based on the VW Vento. After a decade of strong sales, it was discontinued and replaced by the larger, more modern Slavia sedan.
Citigo
An excellent A-segment city car, part of the VW Up! family. Production of the petrol version ended first, followed by the electric Citigo-e iV, as stricter emissions rules made the segment unprofitable.
Rapid (Europe)
A budget-friendly compact liftback that filled the gap between the Fabia and Octavia. It was replaced by the more sophisticated and upmarket Scala hatchback to compete more directly with class leaders.
