Well, they did a pretty good job of hiding the VW Golf underneath.
I think someone in FORD will be crying over the rear light assembly. It’s really Mercury-esque.

Skoda is not to VW what Mercury is to Ford. Skoda cars are generally built on the same platform as the veedubs but have their own sheetmetal, interiors, and etc. are sold generally in Eastern Europe. Mercury’s are fancier Fords with a different badge. There is a big difference.
And I think they did an awesome job integrating the grille and the headlights up front. Looks terrific.

skoda is economy
vw is mass market
seat is performance
audi is mass luxury at least that is the concept.

Skodas tend to be more reliable than VWs for some reason… and people are happier with their buys… Can’t really argue with that… They blow Seat and VW out of the water in reliablity surveys.

That better reliablity might be partly because they use older (tried and tested) technology. eg Skoda Superb based on old Passat
I think aging lineups might be one reason Ford and GMs reliabity numbers improved recently
