Skoda cars in our country in fact has a relatively long history, many people know that Skoda and Volkswagen have an inextricable relationship, think that Skoda into the country back to Volkswagen, in fact, this is not the case.
Skoda first came to China as an imported car, dating back to 1930, but it is obvious that it did not catch up with the best time early in the morning, but Skoda still has a good model, today we will talk about Skoda's Kodiak. The overall design of this model is quite good, and the main thing is the 2.0T power system equipped with the whole series, although the sales are average, but it is also a good mid-size SUV.
From the pricing range, Kodiak's manufacturer guidance price is 177,900 yuan to 247,900 yuan, and the price of this car has fallen to about 150,000 yuan, and the cost performance has been obvious.
From the perspective of design, the overall design is basically a continuation of the family-style design, and it seems that there is not much change, which I think is one of the main reasons why Skoda sales have not been able to rise. The front of the car is still designed with double vertical chrome trim strips, matching the eagle-shaped headlights, the one-piece design is more prominent, and the hood of the Kodiak is not too similar to the new car we saw, highlighting a good sense of power. In addition, it is also equipped with a lower intake air mesh, which also adopts a penetrating design, and the sense of hierarchy is particularly distinct.
From the side, the design of the single waist line is adopted, the body waist line has a strong sense of strength, and the whole car looks particularly slender. It is worth mentioning that the Kodiak is a medium-sized SUV, with a length, width and height of 4698/1883/1676mm, and a wheelbase of 2791mm. The Kodiak has five- and seven-seater designs, so this model is also a highlander.
The tail of the model adopts a triangular taillight design, but it is obvious that it does not use the more popular blackening design. In addition, it is also equipped with a movement surround that is not too obvious, and the bumper is designed with a black plastic design, which is not exquisite.
Looking at the interior design of the new car, I have to say that the interior design of this Kodiak is basically the Volkswagen of ten years ago, simple and crisp, and there is no sense of design with mud and water. The central control part is equipped with a symmetrical collocation design, embedded with a 9.2-inch touch LCD screen, with three mobile phone interconnection methods, three voice recognition control systems, and also has a car networking configuration.
The driving computer screen is equipped with a full LCD 10.2-inch color large-screen design, which is worthy of praise. The steering wheel also uses a leather multi-function steering wheel, which matches the leather seats, panoramic sunroofs, and the comfort performance is good.
The rear is more spacious, the seat layout is a 2+3+2 design, if you need a 7-seater car, then Kodiak is worth considering, after all, its price is here.
Finally, let's look at the powertrain, which is one of the biggest features of this Kodiak model, which is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine. This engine is also naturally the engine of the Volkswagen EA888, with a maximum power of 186 hp and 220 hp, peak torques of 320 N·m and 350 N·m, respectively, and the transmission part is matched with a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The powertrain is basically consistent with a large number of models, so Skoda is also called the Volkswagen of the change of the standard by many small partners, but the price of Volkswagen in the past two years is very obvious, resulting in the price advantage of Skoda is no longer obvious, so the sales have not risen.
Chassis design, Kodiak has two structural methods of front-facing front-drive and full-time four-wheel drive, how do you think the cost performance is?
