Skoda Scala:

The Škoda Scala is a small family car or compact hatchback manufactured by Czech automaker Škoda Auto. The car is intended to fit between the Fabia and the Octavia, and to be a competitor to the cars in the C-segment hatchback segment. The Scala was unveiled in December 2018. An online configurator was accessible in January 2019, and sales officially began in May 2019.
Earlier, it was assumed that the new car would be called Felicia, Garde, Spaceback or Popular, however the name Scala was announced on October 15, 2018.

The Scala has a very similar appearance and proportions to the Skoda Rapid Spaceback which was manufactured in the Czech Republic from 2012 to 2019....(Read more on Wikipedia)
