On March 25, Skoda announced the price of the new Kodiak GT, a total of two models, with a guiding price range of 20.39-24.39 million yuan. As the first sporty version of the Kodiak domestic medium-sized SUV built on the MQB platform of Skoda, the Kodiak GT is indeed remarkable in terms of cost performance, so what is the upgrade of the new Kodiak GT? Is the cost of using a car low? Today I will give you a reason to sort out these two problems.
In terms of appearance, the Skoda Kodiak GT follows the design style of the old version of the model, and the basic changes are not large, enough to form a large difference with the ordinary version of the model, with a length, width and height of 4634/1883/1649mm, and a wheelbase of 2791mm.
After the use of sneakback modeling, Kodiak GT presents a more elegant and sporty style, black sports exterior including black roof, black exterior mirrors and black three-dimensional signs at the rear of the car to further emphasize the sporty attributes of the new car, in addition to the designer also slightly changed its tail design, the circular exhaust was replaced by a polygon bilateral exhaust, but also used the new style of rear bumper design, I believe it will be able to impress young consumer groups.
Inside the cockpit, the layout style of the Kodiak GT is basically the same as that of Kodiak, using a new large-size central control screen, reducing some of the physical buttons, and the touch buttons on both sides of the central control screen are more technological, of course, in order to distinguish it, the Kodiak GT uses a red and black contrast interior to emphasize its sporty attributes.
In terms of power, it is still a 2.0T turbocharged engine, divided into high and low power, TSI330 two-wheel drive luxury version equipped with a low-power 2.0T engine, the maximum power is 137kW, the maximum torque is 320N·m, the TSI380 four-wheel drive flagship version is equipped with a high-power 2.0T engine, the maximum power is 162kW, and the maximum torque is 350N·m.

In terms of fuel cost, the new Kodiak GT entry model is equipped with a 2.0T engine, the maximum power is 137kW, can be filled with No. 92 gasoline, the current oil price is 8.61 yuan / L, we take the entry-level model of the WLT fuel consumption of 6.88L/100km as an example, a year according to the 20,000 km mileage calculation cost, you can calculate the new Kodiak GT entry model a year's fuel cost is 11847 yuan.
Insurance cost: about 7057 yuan per year, about 588 yuan per month
At the level of insurance costs, we take the entry-level model as an example to illustrate that commercial insurance we only use the basic traffic insurance, vehicle and vessel tax, third-party liability insurance (1 million), vehicle loss insurance, excluding deductibles, spontaneous combustion insurance, wading insurance to calculate, the comprehensive cost of these items is about 7057 yuan.
Of course, when you buy a car, you can choose whether to buy other types of insurance such as glass insurance, car personnel insurance, etc. When you buy a car, in addition, we recommend that third-party liability insurance can buy 1.5 million or 2 million amounts, the premium increase is not much, in first-tier cities with a large amount of car ownership, road traffic conditions are complex, and high-amount third-party liability insurance is necessary.
Maintenance cost: The annual maintenance cost is about 3039 yuan
After talking about fuel costs and insurance costs, then the next is the maintenance cost, for most consumers, the warranty period is definitely in the 4S shop to maintain, after the warranty period some friends will choose to maintain in other third-party institutions, the maintenance interval of the new Kodiak GT is every 10000km. We roughly calculated that the total maintenance cost of 60,000km is 9,117 yuan, and according to the calculation of 20,000 kilometers a year, the annual maintenance cost is about equal to 3,039 yuan, and the cost performance is still outstanding.

Combining insurance, maintenance and fuel costs, we get the new Kodiak GT annual cost of about 21943 yuan, the average cost per month is 1828 yuan, the overall cost is not too cheap, the main reason is due to the current high oil prices, which greatly increases the cost of daily cars.
