About the Skoda 100 Type 722
The Skoda 100 (Type 722) was the successor to the 1000 MB, serving as the brand's primary family car throughout the 1970s. It retained the characteristic rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and all-monocoque construction of its predecessor but introduced a more modern, squared-off body design and improved safety features like dual-circuit brakes. While performance was modest, the 100 was praised for its robust independent suspension and ease of maintenance. It was the first Skoda to exceed one million units in production, cementing its place as a vital piece of Eastern Bloc automotive history.
