Škoda Kodiaq: Second generation available with even wider powertrain
range including plug-in-hybrid

› Second-generation Kodiaq offers increased interior space
› Power output ranges from 110 kW (150 hp) to 150 kW (204 hp), now also with plug-in hybrid offering an electric range of more than 100 kilometres
› New interior concept with 12.9-inch touchscreen display and well-organised centre console
› Intuitive combination of manual and digital controls and new Simply Clever features
› Second-generation full LED Matrix headlights and even more advanced assistance systems

Mladá Boleslav, 26 June 2023 – With the second generation of the Kodiaq, Škoda has further improved its globally successful large SUV. It now comes with a more distinctive design and even more space, especially for passengers in the third seat row. In addition, the second generation of the Kodiaq is marked by a new interior concept featuring a touchscreen display measuring up to 12.9 inches, a gearshift lever on the steering column, manual and digital controls and a tidy, well-organised centre console. The engine roster includes two petrol and two diesel engines ranging from 110 kW (150 hp) to 150 kW (204 hp) as well as a plug-in hybrid version – a first for the Kodiaq. This offers an electric range of more than 100 kilometres. The safety equipment is once again state-of-the-art, boasting for example second-generation full LED Matrix headlights and even more advanced assistance systems. Also on board: new Simply Clever features, such as a rear storage compartment with a cup holder and a dual Phone Box that provides cooling and simultaneous charging for two mobile phones.

“The Kodiaq has been an absolute success for Škoda ever since its launch in 2016, when it kickstarted our SUV campaign. With its powerful and crystalline design language, spacious interior and excellent value for money, it attracted many new customers and won renowned international awards. The second generation has all the prerequisites – including a plug-in hybrid version – to add another great chapter to this success story.”

---

Klaus Zellmer, Chairman of the Board of Škoda Auto

“Improving a vehicle as popular as the Kodiaq is always a challenge. Nevertheless, we further sharpened the look while keeping the distinctive elements of our SUV design language. In addition, the new Kodiaq offers even more interior space and will take safety, technology and versatility to the next level. With the plug-in hybrid version, we are also adding a new powertrain offering more than 100 kilometres of electric range to the portfolio.”

Johannes Neft, Škoda Auto Board Member for Technical Development

 

More power, new technologies and greater sustainability

 

The second-generation Kodiaq is characterised by an even more sophisticated design, the use of sustainable materials and innovative technologies such as second-generation full LED Matrix headlights. Its two petrol and two diesel engines range from 110 kW (150 hp) to 150 kW (204 hp). The 2.0 TDI with 142 kW (193 hp) and the 2.0 TSI with 150 kW (204 hp) come with all-wheel drive as standard. The Kodiaq iV, the first plug-in hybrid in this model series, also offers a total power output of 150 kW (204 hp). It has an electric range of more than 100 kilometres. The highlight is the entry-level 1.5 TSI petrol engine with 110 kW (150 hp), which marks the debut of mild-hybrid technology in the Kodiaq. Both hybrid engines are part of the latest generation of EA 211 evo2 engines. They run on the fuel-efficient Miller cycle and feature a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry. The 1.5 TSI with mild-hybrid technology also comes with latest-generation active cylinder technology (ACT+).

 

The Kodiaq – the model that kickstarted Škoda’s SUV campaign

As the first model in Škoda’s successful SUV campaign, the Kodiaq brought the brand’s crystalline design language to the SUV category in 2016. At the same time, it established the typical nomenclature that all subsequent Škoda SUVs with internal combustion engines followed: their name starts with a “K” and ends with a “q”. A superb amount of space for up to seven passengers and advanced technology quickly made the Kodiaq one of the most successful models in Škoda’s global portfolio. It has sold almost 792,000 units in a total of 60 countries to date. In 2018, the Kodiaq RS was the first SUV to join the brand’s sporty RS family. The most important markets for Škoda’s large SUV are China with 160,000 units sold by the end of 2022 and Germany with 114,200 units. Next come the UK and the Czech Republic at 47,200 and 42,400 units respectively. It has therefore contributed greatly to Škoda’s successful development on the international markets and has received excellent feedback from customers as well as from experts and the motoring press: to date, the model has collected more than 40 international awards. In November 2016, British car magazine TopGear named it the world’s “Best Car for Big Families”. This was followed by “Car of the Year” awards in the Czech Republic, Poland and Bulgaria, as well as several “SUV of the Year” awards in various categories from British, Chinese, French and Indian media. In total, the Kodiaq won Auto Bild Allrad’s “All-Wheel Drive Car of the Year” title four times in its biggest European market, Germany. The German Auto Test magazine also awarded it the title of “Best Tested Import Vehicle” in 2017. In addition, it won the renowned Red Dot Award for outstanding product design in 2017.

 

New Simply Clever features – it’s the Kodiaq way

The first generation of the Kodiaq already featured many of Škoda’s Simply Clever ideas. In 2016, for example, it introduced door edge protection and an electric child safety lock for the rear doors. The second generation now boasts a bevy of new features: a new cooled dual Phone Box allows two mobile phones to be charged at the same time with an increased charging power of 15 W. Making its Kodiaq debut is a rear storage compartment with a cup holder on the central tunnel as well as a display cleaner for the touchscreen displays. The umbrella and ice scraper are now made of sustainable materials.

Exterior and interior: Sculptural design, even more space
and a new interior concept

› The seven-seat SUV grows in length by over six centimetres, for an even more spacious interior
› Clever combination of manual and digital controls for intuitive operation
› Introducing 12.9-inch touchscreen and head-up display

Mladá Boleslav, 26 June 2023 – Škoda has refined the powerful and emotional design of its Kodiaq SUV. With a 61-millimetre increase in length and a further increase in wheelbase, the second generation offers even more space for up to seven occupants and additional headroom in the optional third seat row. Exterior highlights include the sculptural front end, squared-off wheel arches and second-generation full LED Matrix headlights. The completely redesigned interior is defined by the 12.9-inch central display, a tidy, well-organised centre console and a combination of manual and digital controls for intuitive operation.

“The new Kodiaq looks even more distinctive, dynamic and powerful than its predecessor. We have taken the essence of our characteristic Škoda SUV design language to the next level and sharpened it even further. On top of that we have implemented a new interior concept featuring a clever combination of manual and digital controls for an even more intuitive and comfortable driving experience.”

Oliver Stefani, Head of Škoda Design

 

Powerful appearance and second-generation full LED Matrix headlights

A sculptural front end, squared-off wheel arches and large wheels measuring 17 to 20 inches in diameter emphasise the powerful appearance of the second Kodiaq generation. At 4,758 millimetres in length, the new Kodiaq surpasses its predecessor by 61 millimetres. In the seven-seat version, passengers in the third seat row now have 15 millimetres more headroom, at 920 millimetres. Luggage capacity remains generous – 340 to 845 litres for the seven-seater and 910 litres for the five-seater. The new Kodiaq features sculpted full LED Matrix headlights, enhanced with the addition of a coloured crystalline element called Crystallinium. Reminiscent of coloured crystal glass, this accentuates the headlights’ contours, adding a touch of elegance and extra visual appeal.

 

Completely redesigned interior and new Simply Clever features

 

The second-generation Kodiaq comes with a completely redesigned interior. The gearshift lever is now located on the steering column, a Škoda first. This makes for a particularly neat and uncluttered centre console. The new central touchscreen display measures 12.9 inches. Furthermore, customers can now order a head-up display to complement the 10,25-inch Virtual Cockpit. The second-generation Kodiaq is marked by a clever combination of manual and digital controls. Making its debut in the Kodiaq is a rear storage compartment on the central tunnel with a cup holder for the rear passengers. There is also a display cleaner for the touchscreen displays. The second seat row can be moved, and a flexible element in the luggage compartment keeps things tidy. In addition, the large SUV comes with familiar features like door edge protectors and the iconic umbrella in the driver’s door.

Plug-in hybrid with an all-electric range of more than 100 kilometres

The second Kodiaq generation sees Škoda offering a plug-in hybrid version of its large SUV for the first time. In the Kodiaq iV, a 110 kW (150 hp) 1.5 TSI and an electric motor join forces to develop a system output of 150 kW (204 hp), which is delivered to the front wheels via a 6-speed DSG. A 25.7 kWh high-voltage battery provides an all-electric range of more than 100 kilometres. It supports AC recharging at 11 kW from wallboxes and charging points. The battery can be replenished even faster at DC fast-charging stations, at rates of up to 50 kW.

 

Mild-hybrid technology for the entry level

 

n addition to the Kodiaq iV, Škoda offers a pair each of modern and efficient diesel and petrol engines, all of which are exclusively mated to a 7-speed DSG. The two 2.0 TDI units produce 110 kW (150 hp) and 142 kW (193 hp) respectively. The highlight is the 1.5 TSI entry-level petrol engine with 110 kW (150 hp), which marks the debut of mild-hybrid technology in the Kodiaq. Both hybrid engines are part of the latest generation of EA 211 evo2 engines. They run on the fuel-efficient Miller cycle and feature a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry. The 1.5 TSI with mild-hybrid technology also comes with latest-generation active cylinder technology (ACT+). The more powerful 2.0 TSI petrol unit delivers 150 kW (204 hp). The 142 kW (193 hp) TDI and 150 kW (204 hp) TSI engines are equipped with all-wheel drive as standard, and all five powertrains meet the Euro 6e emissions standard.

Safety and connectivity: Comprehensive state-of-the-art assistance systems,
debut of parking via app

› Škoda’s large SUV comes with numerous assistance systems and up to nine airbags
› Remote Parking Assist to debut in this model series in 2024
› Travel Assist includes Traffic Jam Assist and Emergency Assist

Mladá Boleslav, 26 June 2023 – For the second model generation, Škoda has raised the safety level of the Kodiaq even higher and further improved some of its numerous assistance systems. Examples of this include the Emergency Assist and Traffic Jam Assist. Available for the first time in the Kodiaq is the new Remote Parking Assist, which will debut next year and enable remote parking using an app. In addition, there are up to nine airbags protecting the occupants, for the best possible passive safety.

 

Advanced assistance systems for even more safety

The second-generation Kodiaq offers state-of-the-art active and passive safety. Up to nine airbags protect the passengers. In addition to driver and front passenger airbags, front side airbags, head airbags and a central airbag between the front seats are all included as standard. Side airbags for the rear seats are available as an option, as are the enhanced Crew Protect Assist and Emergency Assist. As soon as sensors detect emergency or panic braking or an imminent collision – this now includes impending rear-end collisions – Crew Protect Assist automatically closes windows and, where applicable, the panoramic roof; it also activates the hazard warning lights and tightens the front seat belts. Emergency Assist reduces the risk of an accident should the driver no longer be able to control the vehicle – for example, due to a medical emergency. If the system detects such a situation, it takes over lane control, switches on the hazard warning lights and applies the brakes to bring the vehicle to a gentle stop. Part of the optional Travel Assist is Traffic Jam Assist, which combines Predictive Cruise Control with the functions of the Adaptive Lane Assist. It enables automatic starting, braking and steering in congested traffic up to a speed of 60 km/h by adapting to the movements of the surrounding vehicles.

 

Remote parking from outside the vehicle

The new Remote Park Assist will be available for the second-generation Kodiaq in 2024. It allows the SUV to be manoeuvred into tight parking spaces from outside the vehicle using a smartphone app. The vehicle and smartphone communicate via Bluetooth over a distance of up to five metres. The Kodiaq can be moved forwards and backwards in a straight line using the smartphone as a remote control. During the parking manoeuvre, the system can detect approaching objects and pedestrians and prevent collisions automatically.

SUV pioneer: Škoda aims for new heights with the Kodiaq

› Global success for the model that spearheaded the Czech brand’s SUV campaign
› By the end of May 2023, Škoda had delivered nearly 792,000 Kodiaq SUVs to customers
› Predecessors Trekka and Yeti, current Škoda SUV family in Europe also includes Kamiq, Karoq and the all-electric Enyaq

Mladá Boleslav, 26 June 2023 – Škoda launched the Kodiaq in 2016 to spearhead its SUV campaign. It turned into a global success story. By the end of May 2023, the Czech brand had delivered almost 792,000 Kodiaq SUVs to customers. In addition, the model laid the foundations for an SUV family, which in Europe now also includes the Kamiq and Karoq as well as the all-electric Enyaq. In addition, the coupé variants Kodiaq GT and Kamiq GT are available exclusively in China, and the new Kushaq has taken off on the Indian market. The forerunners of today’s Škoda SUVs were the 1966 Trekka off-roader in New Zealand and the Yeti, which sold a total of 684,285 units from 2009 onwards.

 

The New Zealand ancestor and the “snowman”

Today’s Škoda SUVs had an early forerunner. Back in 1966, a local partner in New Zealand produced the Trekka off-roader in collaboration with Škoda engineers. It was based on the original Octavia Combi. Almost 3,000 units were built in total. The brand’s first SUV in the modern era was the 2009 Yeti, named after the legendary “snowman”. It was updated in 2013. A total of 684,285 Yeti SUVs were delivered to customers.

 

The Kodiaq success story

In 2016, Škoda presented the Kodiaq as the first model of its globally successful SUV campaign. In 2018, the Kodiaq RS joined the brand’s sporty RS family as the first SUV model. In Europe, the biggest markets for the seven-seater SUV are Germany, the UK and the Czech Republic. In 2021, the Kodiaq range received a makeover, and in 2022 the Kodiaq was the second most popular Škoda SUV.

 

A growing SUV family

In 2017, the Kodiaq was followed by the more compact SUV model Karoq. It is available in a total of 60 countries. In 2020, the Karoq was the brand’s best-selling SUV and the second most popular Škoda model overall. It was refreshed in 2021, just like the Kodiaq. More than 618,000 Karoq SUVs had been delivered to customers by the end of 2022. In 2018, the compact Kamiq and the Kodiaq GT coupé variant were launched on the Chinese market. A similar Kamiq GT variant followed in 2019. In the same year, Škoda also presented a Kamiq model specifically engineered for the European markets, based on the compact Scala. This marked the brand’s entry into the growing city SUV segment. The Kamiq’s most important markets are the Czech Republic, the UK and Germany. In 2021 and 2022, the Kamiq became Škoda’s best-selling SUV. In 2020, Škoda presented the Enyaq iV, its first purely battery-electric model based on the Volkswagen Group’s Modular Electrification Toolkit (MEB). With the addition of the Enyaq Coupé, Enyaq Coupé RS and Enyaq RS in 2022, there is now an entire Enyaq family. In India, the Kushaq SUV debuted in 2021. It was the first production model created as part of the India 2.0 project, which sees Škoda developing and producing vehicles in India that are designed for the local environment. The Kushaq is built on the MQB-A0-IN platform, which Škoda specifically adapted for the Indian market.

Enhancing space, comfort and control: Škoda presents interior highlights of the all-new Kodiaq and Superb generations

› Škoda Smart Dials: Positioned below the central infotainment screen, these customisable rotary push-buttons with digital displays offer a fresh approach to intuitive operation
› The free-standing 13-inch infotainment screen, combined with a relocated gear selector on the steering column, creates a tidy centre console and optimises the interior space
› Škoda’s innovative Design Selections bring an array of sustainable materials to the Kodiaq and Superb series

Mladá Boleslav, 29 August 2023 – Ahead of the world premieres of the new Kodiaq and Superb generations, Škoda is unveiling their completely redesigned interiors, featuring a digital cockpit, a head-up display and a 13-inch free-standing infotainment display. The DSG gear selector has been moved to the steering column, now giving front passengers more space, while a roomy centre console offers more storage. Enhancing onboard operation, the customisable Škoda Smart Dials allow for easy control. Each rotary push-button provides intuitive access to various vehicle functions, and a digital display ensures a quick, comprehensive overview at any time. In a move toward greater sustainability, Škoda now uses upholstery made from 100% recycled polyester for both the new Kodiaq and Superb.

 

“Škoda interiors stand for intuitiveness, simplicity, customer focus, and smart solutions. Our latest innovation, Škoda Smart Dials, has expanded the intuitive options for controlling the car’s functions, combining the best of both worlds: physical controls and digital displays. The fresh interiors of the Kodiaq and Superb now feature a large, free-standing display, a steering column-mounted gear selector, and an uncluttered centre console. These enhancements have paved the way for a more spacious and cosy interior that not only catches the eye but also offers practicality and genuine added value for our customers.”

Peter Olah, Head of Interior Design at Škoda Auto

Innovative new features for even more comfort onboard
Škoda has redesigned the interiors of both upcoming models, including enhancements to the steering wheel, instrument cluster, dashboard, and decorative trim. A Škoda first: the gear selector has moved to the steering column in both models, making it particularly accessible. As a result, the centre console has a tidy, clearly structured layout, opening up additional space for the front passengers. Other firsts in the Kodiaq and the Superb include a head-up display complementing the 10-inch Virtual Cockpit, and a free-standing central infotainment display that is larger than ever, measuring 13 inches diagonally. Also debuting in both models, Škoda Smart Dials are innovative rotary push-buttons that cleverly integrate haptic and digital components for a more intuitive experience.

Škoda Smart Dials: Push-buttons with digital displays
With the introduction of Škoda Smart Dials, the Czech carmaker is taking the proven combination of haptic and digital controls in its vehicles to the next level. This entirely new approach consists of three rotary push-buttons below the infotainment screen, each with a 32-millimetre digital display. These allow quick access to numerous vehicle functions based on the equipment level. The two outer Smart Dials for the driver and front passenger control the interior temperature, seat heating, and seat ventilation, displaying the currently active function. The centre Smart Dial controls up to four different functions, such as the infotainment volume, fan speed, air direction, smart air conditioning, driving modes, and map zoom. The central Smart Dial is configured via the infotainment system menu, and holding the button down switches between functions.

Expanded range of Simply Clever features
The quest for enhanced comfort onboard is evident in the new additions, including the Phone Box with fast inductive smartphone charging capabilities of up to 15 W – and in the Kodiaq, this extends to two phones – paired with an active cooling function. Additionally, passengers benefit from up to four USB-C ports with a power output of 45 W, as well as a convenient 15 W USB-C port on the rear-view mirror. Not to be overlooked, the new Kodiaq is available with ergo seats complete with a pneumatic massage function. Rear-seat passengers will also appreciate a fresh storage compartment in the centre tunnel. In the Superb, a redesigned steering wheel, instrument cluster and decorative trim elements blend seamlessly with enhanced optional massage seats. These now include ten pneumatically controlled massage cushions and an extensive selection of programs, with four-way adjustable lumbar support. Matching the Kodiaq, all heating functions for the seats, steering wheel, windscreen, and rear window can be conveniently managed via a configurable Heaters button in the climate control menu.

Sustainable materials for all textiles and two popular Simply Clever features
Škoda demonstrates its commitment to sustainability by using environmentally responsible materials for all interior textiles, as well as for two iconic Simply Clever features: the umbrella in the driver’s door and the ice scraper. Continuing the approach of other Škoda models, the traditional equipment lines have been replaced by the Design Selections concept: In the Kodiaq, customers can opt for Loft, Lounge, or ecoSuite in Black or Cognac, with textiles crafted from 100% recycled polyester. The leather in the ecoSuite Design Selection benefits from an eco-friendly tanning process using coffee bean processing residues. For the fourth-generation Superb, the Essence trim level includes the Design Selection Studio, with choices for the Selection trim level encompassing Loft and Lounge, as well as the Design Selection Suite in Black and Cognac. The top L&K model extends the offer with the Design Selection L&K Suite in Black and Cognac, boasting leather sustainably tanned using wastewater from olive processing.

 

Così a primo impatto direi gran bel lavoro, sia in termini di design sia in termini di novità e mi piace la soluzione dei 3 rotori.
