The serial production of the new Škoda 100 model began in Mladá Boleslav on August 25, 1969. Unlike its predecessor, the Škoda 1000 MB, which was considered one of the best vehicles in its class, the new model was not that visually attractive and was outdated from the start.
Škoda 100 and the subsequent 110 model were the first Škoda cars whose production numbers breached the one million units mark.
