Skoda has uncovered the new Kodiaq SUV in Berlin. The new
Kodiaq SUV will come to India by September 2017. Here's all you have to know.
1. It's Skoda's first since forever seven-seat vehicle
Skoda has done SUVs some time recently, as we've seen with
the Yeti, however Skoda has never done a seven-seater. This is the first in the
organization's 120 or more year history and that is a pivotal turning point for
the Czech brand. It's named after an Alaskan bear, the Kodiak, and fittingly,
it looks very tough. In any case, Skoda says it's not a hard and fast
wilderness romper, yet rather a family auto that can cross harsh landscape.
2. It depends on the Skoda Superb
No big surprise then, that it depends on the VW Group's MQB
stage that additionally supports the Skoda Superb and Octavia in various
appearances. It is extended and raised for its obligations as a seven-seat SUV,
and top-spec adaptations get the most recent variant of the VW Group's
transverse-motor AWD framework, supplied by Haldex/BorgWarner, however
front-wheel-drive is the thing that you get on lower forms.
3. It will utilize 2.0-liter petrol and diesel motors
Worldwide markets will get a 1.4-liter TSI petrol engine
that makes 125hp, yet this is unrealistic to come to India. What we will get is
a 2.0-liter TDI diesel that produces either 150hp or 190hp (and 340 and 400Nm
separately) which will be united to either a six-speed manual or a DSG double
grasp programmed. There's additionally the probability of the organization's
new 2.0-liter TSI petrol, which produces 180hp and 320Nm, however that may
participate in later
4. The outside looks better than average
Skoda's head of configuration Jozef Kabaň has truly nailed
it with the Kodiaq's outside. It figures out how to look forcing enough on
account of its forceful grille and headlamp treatment, expansive wheel curves
and robust position, additionally to some degree lively with a delicately
decreasing rooftop line and discretionary 20-inch wheels. It gets a
considerable measure of prompts from the Skoda Superb, including a thick
shoulder line, overwhelming chiseling on the boot, and mind boggling, precise
LED headlamps and tail-lights propelled by Czech precious stone. We especially
like the way the LED mist lights sit in precise breaks just beneath the
headlamps.
5. It's generally minimized for a seven-seat SUV
It might look forcing at first look, yet look somewhat more
and you'll soon understand that is all down to sharp styling prompts; it's not
by any stretch of the imagination that huge. With a length of 4,697mm, width of
1,882mm and a wheelbase of 2.7m (the base, 2WD petrol form likewise weighs only
1,550kg) it's very smaller, and that is something Skoda is glad for, in light
of the fact that that ought to make it less demanding to live with as a family
auto. It gets 190mm of ground freedom and can swim through 300mm of water,
which once more, is not legitimate 4x4 fan stuff, but rather will suffice for
most.
