With a budget of about 200,000 to buy an SUV, I believe that many friends must have paid attention to the German brand in the car selection process, and quality has become the key vocabulary of every German car owner when talking about the reason for buying a car. With a budget of about 200,000 buyers using SUVs, if you care about German quality but don't want to go with the flow, Skoda Kodiak is worth paying attention to. Today to take you to experience is the new ŠKODA Kodiak, the new car will be officially listed in April this year, the point of view is very rich, the upgrade covers the interior and exterior design, configuration, technology and other aspects of the improvement, this time first to see if the appearance under the new design can be your appetite.
Kodiak is Skoda's first domestic medium-sized SUV based on the MQB platform, which was officially launched at the Shanghai Auto Show in 2017, and brought a sporty version of the Kodiak GT (sneakback) in 2018. Since its listing in 2017, as of December 2021, Kodiak has sold nearly 200,000 units (the price range of 2021 Kodiak is 177,900-24.79 million yuan), which is more representative of its product strength performance and is more recognized by the main sales group - family users. This time also brings the new Kodiak and the new Kodiak GT two models, we focus on the main sales model of the new Kodiak.
The blue paint that the current model does not have will be provided with a new color matching, and the side shape is not much different from the current model, and it is still a relatively stable style. In terms of body size, the new Kodiak has only slightly increased in length compared to the current model, and the wheelbase remains unchanged at 2791mm, which is in the upper middle of the class. The new Kodiak will also offer 5-seat and 7-seat seaters, but for an SUV of this size, it is the goal to make every passenger sit comfortably, and the large 5 seats will be more worthy than the 7 seats.
The most obvious difference in appearance between the new Kodiak GT and the new Kodiak is, of course, this dynamic slipback shape, which is also the high recognition of the GT Sport in appearance. The new Kodiak GT has a very natural and visually comfortable look.
The rear tail light group is more sharp, the design with sharp angles on the edges is easily reminiscent of some performance cars, and the new design of the lower part of the rear bumper doubles the exhaust, making the whole car more sporty. In terms of power, the new Kodiak is still equipped with the third generation EA888 2.0T turbocharged engine, with high and low power adjustments, and the transmission system is a consistent 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
The interior of the new Kodiak has not yet been exposed, but it can be seen from the design sketch that there is a very large style difference with the current model, a large number of physical buttons have been cancelled, and most of the functional operations in the car are integrated in the suspension control screen, and the sense of technology has been significantly improved. It is reported that the new Kodiak will be equipped with a 12.1-inch suspension screen, and access to the new MOS 3.X intelligent interconnection system used for the first time in SAIC Volkswagen Skoda models, in addition to common music, video and other network entertainment functions, but also in terms of human-computer interaction to provide a very good experience.
Summary: After looking at the overall shape of the circle, the biggest feeling for the author is that it has made changes that make young people satisfied. First of all, with the design that has been tested by the market, to cater to mainstream consumers, I think it is a very correct approach, and then on the basis of maintaining the high recognition of the current model, the new Kodiak has achieved a better degree of refinement and fashion through the new design of the detailed parts that can significantly improve the recognition, and from the perspective of the author after 95, young people will not be out of the way. This time to talk to you about here, about the new Kodiak interior experience, intelligent car machine, practical space performance, until the specific information is released, the follow-up online car market will also bring you detailed reports, please pay attention.
