Friends who know a little about Skoda know that Kodiak's name is derived from the largest island in Alaska in the United States - Kodiak Island, the island's Kodiak Island brown bear is also the largest brown bear on land, with a body length of 2-2.8 meters, a weight of more than 650 kg, and a maximum individual of 800 kg. But our test drive is a white 330TSI seven-seat version of the two-wheel drive model, which is obviously not a brown bear, but more like a white and fat polar bear.
After driving for a few days, I personally like this car, and Skoda's new design language is angular, making Kodiak look like a bear's sense of strength, much better than the Yeti at that time. As a model that focuses on large space, responsibly say that the third row of seats is more chicken ribs, height below 170cm can be a short-distance emergency, if the seven seats are just needed, or forget it, but for the emergency 5 + 2 is a good choice, compared to the crown road how to have two more seats. The storage space is enough, but it can't reach the level of Highlander, and the high-end atmosphere of the interior is also somewhat, much better than Skoda a few years ago, when it was all hard plastic, and the biggest drawback of the interior is the green of the dashboard, really can't see the speed pointer, and can only adjust the trip computer to the speedometer.
The low-power 2.0T engine is also quite powerful, the 7-speed DSG is also the leader in the dual-clutch transmission, most of the working conditions are quite smooth, the chassis suspension is also comfortable orientation, and it is more desireless to open.
Summary: Considering that Kodiak's current offers are not small, if consumers do not want to buy Japanese models, Kodiak is really a "German" large space SUV worth considering.
