Last week we brought you a static experience in the exterior design of the new Kodiak family, and with the official release of the interior of the new Kodiak family, this time we bring you a static experience of the interior of the new Kodiak family. Compared with the appearance of the vehicle, in fact, every user is more exposed to the vehicle interior in the daily car, so the importance of the interior in the overall design of the vehicle is slightly higher than the appearance in my opinion. The new Skoda Kodiak exterior styling we have already experienced, the design language called Flow Crystal Exquisite Aesthetics is more in line with the aesthetics of Chinese consumers in terms of styling, and the new Skoda Kodiak family interior applies a new floating streamer cockpit design, how does this new design perform, let's take a look at it.
Brand new Kodiak
Inside the new Kodiak, the new hovering streamer cockpit presents a different visual effect than previous Škoda models. Moreover, the exquisite flow crystal aesthetic is not only reflected in the exterior design, you can also feel this design concept in the new Kodiak car. In particular, the center console in the car, like the front face grille, adopts a concave contour design, which sets off the new Skoda brand LOGO, while the center console strengthens the presence of a larger size suspension central control screen, and the two designs form an echo effect.
In addition to the design, in terms of materials, the center console has also been greatly improved, a change from the previous large-area hard plastic material, the new Kodiak on the center console, presented in three materials, the upper part of the use of black soft-lined plastic material, the middle of the use of slash pattern trim and chrome trim, the lower part of the brown leather material and seam treatment. Through the intersection of the three-layer structure, the sense of quality is integrated into the interior design.
The new Kodiak steering wheel also features a new styling design, thanks to technological advances that have further reduced the size of the steering wheel airbags and given the steering wheel a cleaner visual effect. At the same time, the multi-function buttons at the spokes of the steering wheel at three and nine o'clock apply a skeleton design, with a silver roller, which satisfies the sense of refinement and practicality at the same time.
Not only has the design been completely renovated, but in terms of technology configuration, the new Kodiak has also undergone a new upgrade. In the middle of the center console, the new Kodiak did not follow the embedded central control screen of the European version, but used a floating design 12.1-inch central control screen that is more in line with the needs of the Chinese people, coupled with a new 10.3-inch full-LCD instrument and 10-color streamer atmosphere light, depicting the visual effect of science and technology and futurism.
In addition, the new Kodiak is also equipped with a new smart car MOS 3.X system, which is the first time that the system has been applied to SAIC Volkswagen Skoda models. The MOS 3.X system not only has five core functions of intelligent voice, intelligent navigation, intelligent entertainment, intelligent travel, and intelligent connected car control, but also expands new functions such as Avatar artificial intelligence partners, intelligent services for life scenes, driving video recording and photography. The commonly used wireless CarPlay/CarLife, OTA remote upgrade, mobile phone car control, car home interconnection and other functions, as well as a large number of third-party APP, can bring users a new intelligent car experience.
The new Kodiak is also equipped with one-piece design of the front seats, and the wings are more prominent on both sides to provide better wrapping for the occupants. In addition, the seat is wrapped in black and brown panel leather and has an electric adjustment function to provide sufficient comfort for the driver and occupants.
In terms of space, the new Kodiak still provides a 7-seat layout of 2+3+2, which can obtain a very spacious trunk space when the third row of seats is reclined, and the shape is more regular, which can meet the needs of consumers to carry large goods.
The new Kodiak GT
Compared with the slight fine-tuning of the exterior, the interior of the new Kodiak GT follows the interior design of the new Kodiak, which is of a high standard overall. However, due to the more sporty positioning of the new Kodiak GT, in the center console, door panel, seat and other parts, the brown leather is replaced by red leather, with black soft materials, forming a classic red and black contrast design, and the sports atmosphere is about to come out.
Due to the different body shapes and the new Kodiak GT still uses a 5-seat layout, in terms of trunk space, compared to the new Kodiak, its storage space has been reduced, but thanks to the more square space structure, there is no problem in meeting the daily routine storage needs, and if there is a need for larger objects, it can also be further expanded by reclining the second row of seats.
Write at the end
In the past, the models under the Skoda brand will give us a feeling of being very similar to the Volkswagen brand models, but from the perspective of the new Kodiak family, both the styling design and the configuration level have been improved. But if you still have questions about whether it is like Volkswagen, I think a quote from Yu Jingmin, executive deputy general manager of sales and marketing of SAIC Volkswagen and general manager of Shanghai SAIC Volkswagen Sales Co., Ltd., is a good answer. Mr. Yu said: "Volkswagen and Skoda are like Maotai and Wuliangye, they are all good wines, but the shape of the bottles is different. ”
For consumers, a more stylish appearance, a richer configuration, this is what they value more, brand factors only account for part of the demand for car purchases, I believe that with excellent performance, the new Kodiak family can attract more consumers' attention. Of course, the new Skoda Kodiak family is not yet officially available, if you want to know more about it, you may wish to keep an eye on us, we will bring you first-hand information.
