BOLD DESIGN

The SKODA Kodiaq is SKODA’s first step into the SUV segment. The SKODA Kodiaq makes fantastic use of interior space and can seat 5 or 7 passengers, with the third row of seats optional. It is longer than the Volkswagen Tiguan and shorter than the Kia Sorrento.

On the outside it’s a large SUV, while on the inside it’s a well-built practical family car. There’s plenty of space up front and you can easily fit three adults in the second row. The seats slide back and forth and the backrest decline for extra comfort too.

Up front, the Kodiaq is really nicely designed with a focus on materials and inlays to give an upmarket appearance. It has plenty of SKODA’s “Simply Clever” touches; umbrellas in the front doors, special cup holders that allow you to open a bottle one-handed, door protectors, split/folding and sliding rear seats and rakes of technological features.

Another interesting feature is a “virtual pedal” that not only electrically opens the boot when you wave your foot under the rear bumper but also closes it.
