When it comes to Ashkenazi, everyone will think of the north and south volkswagens for the first time, but consumers who are familiar with the mass system will also say another brand - Skoda. After the veteran car company was acquired by Volkswagen, its models began to be produced on the same platform as Volkswagen, so it is often said to be "shell volkswagen".
For example, the SUV model we test drove today , the Kodiak. It has the same three major parts as the Volkswagen Tiguan L, which was born on the same platform and produced in the co-line production at the SAIC Volkswagen plant.
At the end of March, Kodiak unveiled the 2022 facelift. The entire series is equipped with a Volkswagen 2.0T engine, and the price range of the four models is 186,900 to 243,900 yuan. It is worth noting that Kodiak is currently the lowest official guidance price among the 2.0T joint venture mid-size SUVs, and the cost-effective advantage is still prominent.
As a mid-term redesign, the new Kodiak has improved significantly in terms of appearance, interior and intelligence. For example, the front face adopts the design of the European version of the RS model, and the front grille looks more three-dimensional. The interior of the split headlight adopts a blackening treatment, and with the newly designed three-stage blackened bumper on the lower side, the overall sense of movement is more obvious.
The change of the interior is the biggest highlight of this upgrade, and the steering wheel of the new Octavia PRO, the 10.25-inch full LCD instrument, and the 12-foot suspension touch screen further enhance the sense of technology in the overall interior. In addition, the MOS3.X vehicle networking system it is equipped with has also kept up with the mainstream level, with more comprehensive functions, support for gesture recognition, and smooth enough operation.
There is no change in the powertrain, and it is still the 2.0T+7DCT of the Volkswagen family. The biggest advantage of the system is that it is mature and reliable.
It is worth mentioning that the manufacturer has also given sufficient policy guarantees for this car. For more detailed changes and sales policies for new cars, please click on the video to learn more.
