Skoda has just officially revealed pictures of its upcoming Kodiaq SUV, much before the world premiere that’s set for September 1, 2016 in Berlin.

Skoda has designed the Kodiaq to impress with its wide three-dimensional radiator, sleek full-LED headlamps and sharp sculpted design cues. Even the rear tail lamps light up in the typical Skoda C-shape. On the inside, it will offer seven seats and promises various options of adjustment to get a wide range of seating arrangements. In the process, the car maker has also unleashed enough boot capacity for it to swallow between 720 litres and 2065 litres of luggage space (rear seats folded).

Skoda’s Kodiaq will come with features like ‘Area View’ that uses cameras at all ends to display the car’s environment on the screen. There’s even a feature called ‘Manoeuvre Assist’ that will make the car brake if an obstacle is spotted behind the vehicle while reversing. With the advent of Kodiaq, Skoda is expected to offer a generous amount of space, functionality and state-of-the art assistance systems to attract buyers. Skoda India is likely to launch the Kodiaq for our market in 2017.

Following endless rumours and spy pictures, the Skoda Kodiaq is finally set to be officially shown. The full-size SUV, in fact, is getting ready for an appearance at this year‘s Tour de France finale. The vehicle will lead the racers through the legendary Paris boulevard of Champs-Elysées to the finishing line at the concluding stage next Sunday.

Skoda has even released the first photos of the Kodiaq, with the new SUV covered in white, grey and black camouflage. The red, grey and black edges of the new camouflage are inspired by Skoda’s new design language.

With 4.7 metres in length, the Kodiaq is claimed to offer the largest boot space in its class and a customizable third row of seats. Under the hood, the Kodiaq will be offered with the familiar VW Group engines, starting with a 1.4-litre turbo petrol unit. The more popular 1.6 or 2.0-litre diesel engines will also be on offer, in various states of tune. The latter will include the 237bhp twin-turbo diesel from the Volkswagen Passat.

Skoda has revealed that the Kodiaq will make its run at the Tour de France in disguise before showing itself to the world for the first time during its Berlin premiere on September 1. A few weeks later it will be introduced at the Paris Motor Show and finally, go on sale in early 2017.

Skoda’s upcoming full-size SUV has been spied on test again, this time on video. To be labelled ‘Kodiaq’, this entirely new offering is a 7-seater model and is expected to be fully revealed at the 2016 Paris Motor Show in September.

While the Kodiaq will be seen wearing an all-new look, the engine line-up would be formed by the familiar VW Group engines, starting with a 1.4-litre turbo petrol unit. The more popular 1.6 or 2.0-litre diesel engines will also be on offer, in various states of tune. The latter will include the 237bhp twin-turbo diesel from the Volkswagen Passat.

The Kodiaq will be available as front and four-wheel drive vehicle with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox option. The concept shown at the Geneva Motor Show had an all-wheel drive petrol-electric hybrid powertrain and the production model is likely to feature the same tech.

The Kodiaq will be officially shown in September this year at the Paris Motor Show whereas sales will begin sometime early next year.

Skoda has announced that they will launch the Kodiaq at the beginning of 2017. The carmaker’s new SUV was first previewed through images, followed by its unveiling at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.

The Skoda Kodiaq’s production version is expected to exactly replicate the VisionS concept that it is based on. Its futuristic design boasts of new technology and future-oriented features in terms of connectivity, including mobile online services for the best information and safety. Then there is also a wide range of technology including options of six-speed manual gearbox, DSG transmission, front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.

To add to the driving experience the Czech carmaker has added several features like driving mode select and the new Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC). With the help of these, one can configure the operation of the steering, accelerator, DSG transmission and suspension in multiple modes.

When launched Skoda will offer a choice of five engines that include two TDIs and three TSIs. The most powerful petrol engine of the lot is the 2.0-litre TSI mill, which has a power output of 180bhp. The large SUV also promises to be true to its character and feel at home even on rough roads thanks to its off-road mode. Skoda’s new campaign is now on and we know further information as it goes on.
