  • The New Skoda Kodiaq Impresses
    The New Skoda Kodiaq Impresses by Ian Lynas The good news story from Skoda continues with the arrival of their new SUV, the seven seater Kodiaq, the first ever seven-seater SUV from what is one of the oldest car manufacturers in the world. I had the opportunity to get behind the wheel of the new model and immediately I was taken by the build quality. Styling is on the conservative side, which should appeal to a broad audience, the exterior neatly combines elegant lines, sporty contours and a feeling of robustness. Kodiaq is built on the Volkswagen Group’s modular transverse matrix platform and is 4,697mm long, 1,882mm wide and 1,676mm tall (including roof rails) and has a wheelbase of 2,791mm. Just 40mm longer than the Octavia, it offers a larger-than-average interior for the SUV segment. Interior length is 1,793mm, elbow room is 1,527mm in the front and 1,510mm in the rear. Headroom is 1,020mm in the front and 1,014mm in the rear. The middle seat row can be folded 60:40, features individually adjustable backrests and can slide lengthways by 180mmas standard. The third row of seats can be folded neatly into the floor space to create a larger load area. And with a volume of 720 to 2,065 litres (5-seater with the rear seats folded down) the largest boot within its class. A number of simply clever features designed to make life on board even easier. These include a new door-edge protection system that deploys automatically when opening the door.
