Skoda has recently begun their SUV campaign represented by their upcoming Kodiaq. They have also announced the launch of the vehicle at the start of 2017.
The Czech carmaker's new SUV was first previewed through images, followed by its unveiling at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. Its production version is expected to exactly replicate the VisionS concept that it is based on. Its futuristic design boasts of a variety of new technology and future-oriented features in terms of connectivity, including mobile online services for the best information and safety. Then there is also a wide range of technology including options of six-speed manual gearbox, DSG transmission, front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.
Skoda has added several features like driving mode select and the new Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) to add to the driving experience. With the help of these one can configure the operation of the steering, accelerator, DSG transmission and suspension in multiple modes.
The manufacturer will offer a choice of five engines for the Kodiaq including two TDIs and three TSIs. The most powerful petrol engine of the lot is the 2.0-litre TSI mill, which has a power output of 180bhp. The large SUV also promises to be true to its character and feel at home even on rough roads thanks to its off-road mode.
