There are many changes in the program of the new generation of Kodiaq. New hybrid version, new equipment, new interior and one new template. However, Skoda doesn’t want to take too many risks with this new generation, keeping the recipe that made the Kodiaq successful in Europe.

Why risk it?

By releasing a new generation of a successful car, manufacturers have two options facing them. In order to make a general description of what made this model famous not to hit their customers. The other choice is more risky. The latter consists of work a complete rupture to what has been done so far.

With this new Kodiaq, the Scandinavian brand has made the first choice. Choice pragmatic probably one lack of audacity for others After all, why take a chance on a model that was sold at almost cost 800,000 copies in the world ?

A design that develops little

If Skoda keep the general style of the previous generation kodiaq, the brand still wanted to improve all this, in particular by adding a more complex and prominent grille. The rear optics have also been improved. They always accept the design AGAINST, but now they are connected by a red line. However, the latter does not burn.

From the sides, again without much change, we still feel the very large dimensions of the Kodiaq in the lines. True, the side glazing of the Skoda was stretched. Frank Le Galwho took care of the exterior design of this Kodiaq, states:

This new generation Kodiaq still offers seven seats and the interior space has been revised rise. In the seven-seater version, the passengers in the last back row will win 15 mm in terms of roof clearance. Do it, Skoda decided to lengthen his SUV by six centimeters in length. If the old version Kodiaq was already impressive, today’s new Kodiaq measures 4758 mm long, 1864 mm wide and 1.66 m from above.

It adopts the square design of the wheel arches, creating an impression strength.

An interior that welcomes more changes

As we mentioned above, the interior of this Kodiaq II offers more space for passengers, especially those sitting in the third row. However, this is not the only change. In fact, the dashboard has been completely redesigned with a new one screen with 12.9 inches as well as a projection display 10.25 inches.

The volume of the trunk remains more than generous 910 liters for the five-digit version and from 340 to 845 liters for the seven-seater version (the third row of seats is optional).

More technology!

Skoda wanted to make its SUV more technological. To that end, the Kodiaq II welcomes new technologies such as an all-new remote park assist system and up to nine airbags.

Because yes, the Scandinavian brand also wanted to emphasize safety. The Kodiaq includes a new emergency assistance system as well as traffic jam assistance and intersection assistance called “Crossroad Assist“.

To complete the technological aspect, Skoda equips its Kodiaq with headlights Matrix LED second generation

And motorization in all this!?

If you’re interested in this new Kodiaq, you’ll have a wide range of engines to choose from. Available in two Or all-wheel drivethe range includes two gasoline engines as well as two diesel engines from 150 to 204 hp.

The great novelty of this kodiaq, this is an addition from Skoda a plug-in hybrid engine. Which is a first for a Scandinavian SUV. This version will also offer an all-electric range of more than 100 kilometers. Not bad for a first!
