"Car Matrix" car evaluation: Although SAIC Volkswagen won the domestic car brand sales championship in 2021, in terms of its subdivision products, the Skoda brand belonging to SAIC Volkswagen did not bring it "glory", but a bit of a dragging rhythm. SAIC Skoda, although it has the aura of SAIC Volkswagen, basically relies on picking up the leftovers of volkswagen and struggling to support, and even once made a stupid thing of exchanging price for quantity in order to survive, and the official decline did not bring about a surge in sales, but the damage to the brand was obvious.
As the pillar model of SAIC Skoda's sales in China, Kodiak has its own "noble" label, and volkswagen Tiguan L "the same famous door", based on Volkswagen's latest MQB platform to build, the main components are the same as Tiguan, although the sales are not as good as Volkswagen Tiguan, but the quality is not half a point.
The new KODIAK of SAIC Skoda, which was recently exposed by the real car, adopts the new Sharp Front Face Design Style of Skoda, sharp and exquisite, while the KODIAK GT model is exposed at the same time, the new Kodiak directly introduces the design style of the overseas version of the RS version, for the trend of domestic consumer groups being younger, the sharp front face edges are more radical movement, following the design style of the Skoda family crystal cutting, the front detection radar and camera in the straight waterfall grille, the overall design of the fog light area and the front surround air intake on both sides is exquisite, Naturally, LED headlights are sharp, tri-fold line daily lights are officially titled "flow crystal exquisite aesthetic design concept", the ordinary version uses a new two-color wheel, and the GT version of the petal wheel is different, and the GT version basically retains the current design style, the grille is all replaced with bright black decoration, the rear bumper adds V-shaped modeling, integrated diffuser, increases the sense of movement, and the polygon exhaust pipe is very fashionable. The new Kodiak series is equipped with the third-generation EA888 series 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum output of 220Ps and a peak torque of 350N.m, matching a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
As the most shot model of Skoda, although positioned as a medium-sized SUV, but there is a big gap with the Volkswagen Tiguan L, Buick Encore, Highlander and other models in terms of brand and model influence, but if as a car-aware person, in addition to the LOGO, it is basically the "replica" of the Volkswagen Tiguan L, after the official demotion, Kodiak still has considerable attraction, so this classic SUV that belongs to the "slow heat type" can be expected in the future, which is worth paying attention to and starting.
