Skoda gives a sneak peek of the Kodiaq SUV

160810 Kodiaq (1)Ahead of its world premiere on 1 September in Berlin, Skoda has revealed images of the Kodiaq, its new, large SUV model.

Skoda says the Kodiaq has a wide, three-dimensional radiator grille and narrow, raked headlights, which are available with full-LED technology for the first time. The rear lights, also with LED technology as standard, shine in the typical Skoda C-shape.

The Kodiaq offers generous space, with a capacity of 720 to 2,065 litres (with the rear seats folded down), offering what Skoda says is the largest boot within its class. For first time ever, Skoda will also offer a seven seat option. Using the position of the seats and angle adjustment, the Kodiaq can be adapted to offer a wide range of seating and loading solutions. With the front passenger seat down, the car can transport items up to 2.9 metres long.

Area View, using surround-view cameras with wide-angle lenses at the front and the rear as well as in the wing mirrors, displays various views of the car’s immediate surroundings on the in-car monitor. These include a virtual top-down view and 180-degree pictures from the areas to the front and rear. Tow Assist is also new to the range: When towing, the system takes over steering when reversing slowly. Additionally, while reversing, the new Manoeuvre Assist will brake as soon as an obstacle is detected behind the vehicle.

The Skoda Connect mobile online services are another innovation. They are divided into two categories: the Infotainment Online services ensure more information and navigation in real time, and the Care Connect services provide remote access as well as assistance.

The centrepiece of the Care Connect services is the emergency call following an accident: if an airbag is activated, a so-called Emergency Call (e-Call) automatically connects to an emergency call centre.
