For a while I’ve been thinking about writing an article about this impressive machine. So it’s time to introduce Skoda Kodiaq.
Skoda has launched this year a new Kodiaq SUV that wants to be Yeti’s big brother but also the most technologically upgraded model ever produced by Skoda.

The car hood has a central ribbed finish that ends with the Skoda logo. And in the rear, the hinges are as sharp and also have LED technology.

The Skoda Kodiaq enjoys a spacious trunk, and is undoubtedly the largest trunk in the segment.
Kodiaq, we can say it shares the same platform with Volswagen Tiguan and Seat Ateca, namely MQB. This platform has proven to be extremely useful and reliable, and the Volkswagen Group has been economizing money, reducing costs since it produced it. Ultimately, the purpose of car manufacturers is to save money and reduce costs.
The Skoda Kodiaq has a length of 4.7 meters and is 40 mm larger than the Skoda Octavia.
Kodiaq can also be ordered with a 7-seat version for the many families who want it.
