What to Expect in the All-New Škoda Kodiaq

The all-new Škoda Kodiaq is arriving soon, and it brings all the fresh upgrades you’d expect for an SUV and more.

Bold Design that Captivates

Elegance with a Powerful Edge

From the moment you lay eyes on it, the Kodiaq commands attention. The Kodiaq’s front section is adorned with second-generation LED Matrix headlights featuring a striking four-eye theme. Additionally, an optional horizontal light strip can be integrated into the grille, creating a unique light signature. Contributing to the Kodiaq’s powerful look are the front spoiler made of robust fine-grain plastic, a wide honeycomb-structured air intake framed by two cubist-like air curtains, a solid octagonal grille, and sculptural bonnet shapes.

Dynamic Silhouette

From every angle, the Kodiaq impresses with its sleek, aerodynamically stretched roofline, complemented by flat silver anodised roof rails. Adding to its dynamic appearance is the tornado line that cuts along the length of the car, while the highly sculpted body accentuates the wheel arches, highlighting its robustness. The Kodiaq’s 20-inch wheels enhance its rugged, adventurous vibe—ready to take on any terrain with style.

A Rear That Leaves a Lasting Impression

The rear is equally captivating, featuring C-shaped taillights with dynamic indicators, a red strip with a 3D crystalline structure that connects the rear lights. together with the voluminous rear bumper and a wide diffuser, the Kodiaq exudes an aura of uniqueness, whether parked or in motion.

Generous Luggage Capacity

Even with all seats occupied, the SUV boasts a generous luggage capacity of 910 liters—expandable to a massive 2,105 litres with the rear seats folded flat, making it one of the largest in its class.
