During the third quarter, we were again able to capture the benefits of AEGON’s strategic priorities, resulting in solid earnings growth, improved profitability of sales, lower expenses and a continued strong capital position. Our franchise remains healthy, as evidenced by the particularly high level of At-Retirement and pension sales. At the same time, we are making essential investments to reshape our businesses in both our established and developing markets to respond effectively to the changing conditions and new realities. Although there are signs of gradually improving market conditions, there remains considerable uncertainty in the general economic environment. Consequently, we believe it is prudent and necessary to maintain a sufficient financial buffer while at the same time adhering to our strict risk and pricing discipline. The steps we are taking across our organization to get closer to our end customers, combined with the strength of our current position, give us full confidence in the prospects for our business going forward.

„Der neue Rapid Spaceback ist für uns ein Meilenstein: Er bedeutet den Einstieg in das strategisch wichtige Segment kompakter Kurzheck-Modelle. Im neuen Skoda-Design und den bekannten guten Eigenschaften unserer Autos tritt er frisch und dynamisch auf. Ein Kompakter mit sportlichem Chic, geräumig und praktisch, ideal für junge Menschen und Familien“, gibt sich der Skoda Vorstandsvorsitzende Winfried Vahland bei der Vorstellung des jüngsten Sprößlings des tschechischen Autobauers optimistisch. Und der Optimismus ist durchaus nachzuvollziehen, da der Spaceback nicht nur viel Platz, jede Menge ‚Simply Clever’ Ideen, Top-Sicherheit, interessante Individualisierungsmöglichkeiten, geringen Verbrauch und mit einem Einstiegspreis von 14.990 Euro ein sehr gutes Preis-/Wert-Verhältnis bietet, sondern sich bei ersten Testfahrten auch als leistungsstark und agil erwies. So macht Autofahren – wenn die Straße denn halbwegs frei ist – einfach nur Spaß. Der Rapid Spaceback setzt auf einen klaren, eigenständigen Auftritt – mit besonderem Chic. Ein Auto mit sportlicher Frische und dynamischer Eleganz. Besondere Akzente setzt die Seitenansicht. Sie wirkt im Vergleich zu konventionellen Kurzheck-Modellen sportlicher und gestreckter, fast Coupé-artig. Damit setzt sich das Fahrzeug optisch und funktional vom Wettbewerbsumfeld ab. Die dynamische Silhouette wird geprägt durch eine klare Linienführung, den langen Radstand (2,60 Meter) und die scharfe, hohe Tornadolinie. Das Heck unterstreicht den sportlichen Charakter des Spaceback. Es ist klar gezeichnet und wirkt ausgewogen und aufgeräumt. Ein schwarzes Diffusor-Element betont die horizontale Ausrichtung ebenso wie die breiten Heckleuchten im Marken-typischen C-Design. Das Frontdesign des Rapid Spaceback folgt dagegen bis zur B-Säule der Gestaltung der Rapid Limousine. Kernelemente: markanter Grill mit 19 vertikalen Lamellen und Chromeinfassung und neues Logo. Das Interieur zeichnet sich durch sportliche 3-Speichen-Lenkräder, schicke Dekorleisten und frische Designs für die Sitzbezüge aus. Typisch Skoda bietet der Innenraum viel Platz: Obwohl das neue Modell im Außenmaß knapp 18 Zentimeter kürzer ist als die Rapid Limousine, sind die Platzverhältnisse für die Insassen genauso großzügig wie beim ‚großen Bruder’. Der Rapid Spaceback bietet in seinem Segment die größte Kniefreiheit (64 Millimeter) und die größte Kopffreiheit hinten (980 Millimeter). Auch das Kofferraum-Volumen zählt mit 415 Litern bzw. mit 1.380 Litern bei umgeklappter Rücksitzbank zu den besten Werten im Segment. Zu diesem großzügigen Raumangebot kommen zahlreiche ‚Simply Clever’ Lösungen: Der Kofferraum hat zum Beispiel auf Wunsch einen doppelten Ladeboden, so dass das Gepäckabteil in zwei horizontale Ebenen eingeteilt werden kann und damit doppelt nutzbar ist. Den Doppelboden muss man nicht zu Hause lassen, falls man den maximalen Raum nutzen möchte – er ist einfach in die untere Position verschiebbar. Darüber hinaus bietet der Spaceback alle nützlichen Features, die aus dem Rapid bekannt sind.
