The '''Škoda Felicia''' is a [[Small family car|small family car]] produced by the Czech automaker [[Škoda Auto]] between 1994 and 2000. It was one of the first models to benefit from [[Škoda Auto|Škoda]]'s take over by the [[Volkswagen Group]]. It was a reworked version of the [[Škoda Favorit|Favorit]], but had a more modern appearance, with a redesigned front end, and a wider range of engines. A serial production begin in the late 1994.
The name Felicia was not used for the first time, resurrecting a nameplate originally used by Škoda in the 1960s for a range two-seater sports cars. They were very popular, with many still in operation today.
The Felicia's line-up included the old 1.3L [[OHV]] Škoda units, now with [[Bosch]] Mono Motronic single point (up until 1997), and [[Siemens AG|Siemens]] multi-point [[fuel injection]] with two power outputs of 54 hp (40 kW) and 68 hp (50 kW). There was also two engines sourced from VW: a 75 hp (55 kW) 1.6L petrol engine with [[Magneti Marelli]] multi-point fuel injection and a 64 hp (47 kW) 1.9 SDI diesel. A five-speed gearbox was finally standard on all models. The 1.6L model served as a [[homologation]] basis for the Škoda Felicia Kit-Car used in the [[World Rally Championship]]'s F2 class.
The Felicia came in a variety of bodyworks, both for personal and professional use. The base model was a 5-door hatchback, and was accompanied by an [[estate car|estate]] - replacing the Favorit-based Forman - now redubbed as the '''Felicia Combi'''. There was also a pick-up version and a [[panel van]] called a '''Cube Van'''. The pick-up version was also imported to some countries re-branded as the '''VW Caddy pick-up'''. The pick-up model also had a lifestyle edition named the '''Felicia Fun''', conceived mostly for the Western European market. It was available as a fake double cab model, with two reclinable rear seats and a fabric cover.
As the Felicia benefited from Volkswagen input, it helped change Škoda's image in Western Europe. It heralded the first ever diesel powered Škoda and became their first car to feature major safety and convienience features. Some SLXI Models featured [[Air Conditioning]] and [[Velour]] upholstery.
In 1998, the Felicia made headlines after its high satisfaction score gave Škoda the "Best Manufacturer" accolade in that year's [[JD Power]] Car Survey.
Production of the Felicia ceased at the end of 2000, one year after the launch of the [[Škoda Fabia|Fabia]]. A total of 1,416,939 cars had been made (although the pick-up model was available for sale throughout 2001).
