Mladá Boleslav / Shanghai, 14 April 2019 – The introduction of the ŠKODA KODIAQ in autumn 2016 marked the start of ŠKODA’s extensive SUV campaign and saw to the successful expansion of the Czech brand’s model portfolio. The KODIAQ provides ŠKODA typical strengths such as well-thought-out functionality, a generous amount of space and excellent value for money.

The distinctive design language used for the exterior acts as the role model for the current ŠKODA SUV family. This is continued in the ŠKODA KODIAQ’s interior, where it radiates a sense of robustness and safety. The interior is set apart by bold vertical features such as the four large, upright air vents, and also boasts the outstanding workmanship and intuitive operation typical of ŠKODA. The KODIAQ has the largest boot within its segment: the five-seater offers a boot capacity that ranges from 506 l up to 2,065 l with the rear seats folded down; the optional seven-seater version offers 190 l, or 506 l with the third row of seats folded down.

The ŠKODA KODIAQ features numerous assistance systems as standard or as optional extras, including Front Assist, for example. Thanks to its innovative infotainment and connectivity solutions, the SUV can be always online, making it possible to access the Infotainment Online and Care Connect mobile online services via Baidu CarLife at any time.

Mladá Boleslav / Shanghai, 14 April 2019 – The KODIAQ GT is ŠKODA’s top-of-the-range model in China. The Czech brand’s first SUV coupé is exclusively available to customers in China and also takes on the role of the flagship in ŠKODA’s most important market. This status is clear to see thanks to the ŠKODA KODIAQ GT’s dynamic appearance, state-of-the-art connectivity features and innovative assistance systems. Featuring a sporty as well as stylish exterior and interior, the ŠKODA KODIAQ GT blends the versatility of an SUV with the elegance of a coupé, thereby appealing to lifestyle-oriented customers.

The front of the 4,634-mm-long ŠKODA KODIAQ GT is given a distinctive appearance by a radiator grille that features chrome-plated double slats and is framed in black. LED headlights, a three‑dimensional bumper as well as large air inlets equally highlight the SUV’s sporty appearance. Behind the front doors, the roofline gently slopes towards the rear where it merges with the angular tailgate that bears ‘ŠKODA’ in block lettering. The side view is particularly dynamic: carved-out side sills with matt black accents emphasise the rugged nature of the SUV coupé. The rear wows with clean-cut LED tail lights in the typical ŠKODA design that feature crystalline shapes. The black diffuser and a narrow reflector spanning the entire width of the vehicle beneath the loading sill create additional highlights.

The interior is characterised by high-quality materials. As an option, the KODIAQ GT can be fitted with an individually customisable Virtual Cockpit. In typical ŠKODA style, it also comes with a wealth of Simply Clever features. The ŠKODA KODIAQ GT offers state-of-the-art connectivity and is always online thanks to its Wi-Fi hotspot as well as MirrorLink™, Apple CarPlay or Baidu CarLife. A choice of three efficient engines do the job under the bonnet. The entry-level 1.4 TSI, delivering a power output of 110 Kw (150 PS), and the 2.0 TSI, outputting 137 kW (186 PS), are both paired exclusively with front-wheel drive; the 2.0 TSI producing 162 kW (220 PS) is coupled with all-wheel drive and a 7-speed DSG as standard. Numerous assistance systems such as Blind Spot Detect, Front Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) including the Stop-and-Go function ensure a high level of safety.

What’s more, the KAROQ comes with a wealth of systems and full LED headlights. The ŠKODA KAROQ is at the very top of its segment in terms of innovative connectivity solutions.

The expressive, powerful and bold appearance of the ŠKODA KODIAQ point to its SUV genes. Geometrically shaped headlights with precise contours give the front of the car a distinctive appearance, whilst short overhangs at the front and rear, a sloping roofline that is visually extended by a line in the D-pillar, and the tapered rear all define the side view. Horizontal lines at the rear emphasise the width of the body. In the course of this year, the KAROQ will bear ‘ŠKODA’ in block lettering at the rear.
