. A saloon (sedan) version was never produced. It was introduced in 1961 as a successor to the station wagon and pick-up versions of the Škoda 1201
and closely resembled the slightly smaller Octavia Combi.
The car was powered by a 1221 cm³ four-cylinder ohv water-cooled engine delivering 34.5 kW of output, inherited from its predecessor, and which later also found its way into the company’s Octavia model.

Although volumes were never high, the model remained in production until 1973.
