As an option, the crossover will receive seven-seater salon... The length of the car will be 4.7 meters... Price from 2 million 65 thousand rubles (). Basic versions with a 1.4 engine (125 hp) and front-wheel drive appeared in 2018 with the assembly localization. At the same time, expensive versions are supplied from the Czech Republic.

Other characteristics

In Europe, the crossover is available with five motors: three petrol and two diesel... In the basic version, the front-wheel drive SUV will receive a unit 1.4 TSI (125 HP) and six-speed "mechanics". In more expensive versions, the all-wheel drive Kodiaq will be equipped with 1.4-liter supercharged engine ( 150 h.p.) and DSG6. Top-end gasoline engine - 2.0-liter "Turbo four" power 180 h.p.which only works with the DSG7 robotic gearbox.

Complete set

Kodiak has the option of a third row of seats, but even in the basic version, the second row will be equipped with many adjustments, both longitudinal and backrest tilt.

They promise to fill the Czech novelty with a lot of "smart gadgets" that bring this model to a new level. A multimedia system with a screen from 6.5 to 8 inches, Wi-Fi distribution function, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, LTE support, remote car tuning are far from the final list of electronics that turn driving into relaxation. In terms of external driving assistance, the car also promises to please with innovations. Parking control with braking function is complemented by automatic plastic protective plates on the door ends to help prevent scratches. An assistant when maneuvering with a trailer, reading road signs, helping to keep the car on the lane in conjunction with tracking neighbors on the highway and similar "accomplices" make driving, if not absolutely safe, then as close as possible to that.

Adaptive suspension "Dynamic Chassis Control" allows you to drive in three modes - Normal, Comfort, Sport. All-wheel drive versions will be equipped with a fourth - off-road, which adjusts literally the entire chassis for off-road conditions.

With its not impressive size (direct analogue of the Volkswagen Tiguan, 4.7 m), the Skoda Kodiak will have a record large trunk. With the second row of seats folded down, the crossover has a volume of 2065 Liters (!), which is 400 liters more than its German competitor.

Overall dimensions, along with design, are decisive for a car when choosing it.

But if the design refers to aesthetic characteristics, then the parameters of the dimensions of a car are already characteristics that directly affect handling and safety.

Moreover, the larger they are, then, firstly, the more difficult it is to drive such cars in urban conditions, secondly, such cars require more parking space, and, thirdly, which is especially important and it has been repeatedly proven that the technology the larger, the safer it is.

As for the Skoda Kodiak, it impresses not only with its modern body design and level of internal comfort, but also with its dimensions, fully justifying its name, since the Kodiak is a breed of bears that live in Alaska, the weight of which reaches more than a ton, which means that these animals are appropriately sized.

In addition, the Skoda Kodiak meets the needs of motorists, the so-called "massive cars", but, despite its impressive dimensions and weight, it is easily controllable and maneuverable, and the large interior space allows both the driver and passengers to feel comfortable even on long trips.

And regarding the interior, it should be said that the Skoda Kodiak is available in two versions - in five and. Which expands the custom audience for this car model.

Dimensions and wheelbase

As for the specific data on the dimensions of the Skoda Kodiak, this is length SUV, which is almost 4.7 meters (or to be absolutely precise, 4697 mm).

Width size According to some sources, this car is 1.88, and according to others, -1.9 meters.

Height also appears in different sources in different ways: in some, the height is indicated as 1.7 meters, and in others it is less, namely 1.655.

This is probably due to the fact that the Czech SUV can have different dimensions of rims, and therefore tires.

Wheel size

The factory equipment is carried out in two versions - this is the Ambition variant and the Style Plus.

As for the equipment of the first version of the car, the factory puts wheels of such dimensions as 215 by 65 with R17 discs.

If you make a surcharge, which is a little more than 20 thousand, then you can order 235x55 wheels with R18 disks, and if you pay an additional 48 thousand Russian money, then they will put 235x50 wheels with discs such as R19.

Regarding Style Plus, the factory equipment with wheels is 235 by 55 and R18 disks, however, you can equip a car with 235 by 50 shoes with R19 disks, but not free of charge, but by spending an additional almost 28 thousand of our money.

It is noteworthy that 17-inch wheels for this configuration of the Skoda Kodiak are not provided.

Ground clearance

Ground clearance is of no small importance for vehicles intended for off-road travel.

With this parameter, the Skoda Kodiak is all right, having a clearance of 19.4 centimeters, which is quite enough so as not to move the earth of dirt roads in front of you like a bulldozer, which may have well-worn tracks.

Track size

As for the dimensions of the SUV's track, they are different for the front and rear pair of wheels and are equal to 158.6 and 157.6 centimeters, respectively, which makes it possible to increase the cross-country ability of the car due to the fact that the line of movement of the front and rear wheels does not coincide. And therefore, for example, in viscous and loose soil, slipping is not allowed, which leads to a critical decrease in ground clearance.

Interior volume

In order to describe the dimensional parameters of the cabin, where, as a rule, its volume is not indicated in the characteristics of the car, in contrast to the volume of the trunk, we will use the table of dimensions of the Skoda Kodiak cabin space:

Disc types and sizes

As for the dimensions of the disks installed on the Skoda Kodiak, these wheel parameters were discussed above. And about the types of rims that these cars are equipped with from the factory, then again we will use the table with a list of discs and an indication of their price:

In addition to disks, there is an opportunity for an additional 6 thousand Russian rubles to purchase a set of decorative caps.

Tire dimensions

As for the dimensional parameters of tires, then, as mentioned earlier, tires on the Skoda Kodiak are installed, such dimensions as:

• 215 x 65 for R17 wheels;
• 235 x 55 for R18 wheels;
• and also 235x50 for drives such as R19.

Important! When choosing a winter "shoe", you need to take the same type of rubber that was installed by the factory, as wider tires can cause discomfort while driving.

As a result: the conclusions of the specialists on the model

Most auto experts are inclined to believe that the Skoda Kodiak in some options is even superior to the so-called premium models of competing brands. The most important ratio, in addition to price and quality, the gurus of auto ratings indicate that the Skoda Kodiak is the optimal balance between parameters such as dimensions, handling and comfort.

Skoda KODIAQ 2018-2019 model year is a full-size crossover with a ground clearance increased to 187 mm, a spacious 5-seater cabin and a record volume of the luggage compartment (2065 liters with the seats folded in the second row). The possibility of installing seats in the third row allows you to transform the car into a 7-seater.

Dimensions Skoda Kodiak

The length of the car is 4697 mm, width - 1882 mm, height - 1676 mm. The front bumper with a massive air intake slot visually increases the size of the crossover. The wheelbase is 2791 mm. The impressive dimensions of the body provide the car with a spacious interior: the width of the front and rear parts is respectively 1527 and 1510 mm, the height to the ceiling in front and rear is 1020 and 1014 mm. Thanks to the comfortable back height and seat length, even long journeys will not be tiresome.

The curb weight of the car, depending on the modification, is 1502-1740 kg. The crossover is capable of towing a trailer without brakes with a maximum weight of 750 kg.

Skoda KODIAQ: basic equipment

Skoda Kodiak is presented in two trim levels: Ambition Plus and Style Plus. The basic equipment is already equipped with airbags and a set of premium options - a blind spot monitoring system, cruise control with a speed limiter, Phonebox (wireless phone charger), rear door lock function, Wi-Fi access, etc.

Innovative technologies and functionality

Ambition Plus is equipped with front and rear parking sensors, heated windshield, LED headlights and a heated multifunction steering wheel. In the Style Plus crossovers, there is an electric trunk drive, an option for an electric driver's seat with memory function and many useful assistants (Park Pilot, AreaView, Crew Protect Assistant).

Auto controls and devices are intuitive and close at hand.

All-wheel drive crossovers with Driving Mode Select feature Off road mode, which is activated at the push of a button.

All this makes the SUV as safe and comfortable as possible, even when driving off-road.

“Just Smart” is the slogan of the Czech concern, and it is most suitable for the definition, stuffed with “smart” options, the new representative of Skoda, the first seven-seat crossover, named Kodiaq.

Literally all constructive and design solutions, as well as the parameters of the technical characteristics of the Skoda Kodiak, starting from large dimensions (for example, its length is about 4.7 m).

As well as dynamic and expenditure indicators and, ending with a lot of "smart" systems that have one goal - that Skoda Kodiaq was roomy without sacrificing comfort, economical without sacrificing reliability, available without compromising quality indicators. And finally, a technique capable of overcoming various obstacles.

All of this taken together, and is probably all that characterizes a truly family car.

Engines

As for the power plants of the Skoda Kodiak, or as it is also called Kodiak, these are two versions of a four-cylinder engine with different volumetric parameters, either 1.395 or 1.984 liters.

These volumetric performance characteristics are usually rounded off and in the designation they are indicated, for example, if for a gasoline turbo engine, then 1.4 sti, and if we mean a turbodiesel, then 2.0 tdi.

As for gasoline engines, the fuel for them is gasoline not lower than 95 octane.

The motors can be adapted with either 6-speed manual or robotic dsg gearboxes PP, which have both 6 and 7 speed modes.

The crossover clutch can be of two types: in its cheapest configuration it is a single-disc clutch with a hydraulic drive, in the road - a double-disc clutch with electro hydraulics.

Gasoline

It should be noted that both 7 and 5 seaters are produced, as well as all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive versions of crossovers, so they have their own power plant configurations. There are 5 modifications of gasoline engines in total.

Moreover, 4 of them have a working volume of 1.4, and one modification - 2.0 liters.

The power parameters are 125, 150, and 180 hp. High-speed maximum parameters of the crossover, which are provided by these powers, are in the range from 190 to 206 km. in hour.At the same time, a gasoline consumption of 6 liters corresponds to a 125-horsepower engine, and 7.3 - this is a consumption per hundred 180-horsepower engine.

As for those engines where ACT is indicated in their designations, this means that in the case when the load is reduced, half of the cylinders are turned off.

Diesel

As for the diesel configurations of the Skoda Kodiaq, there are one fewer of them than the gasoline ones and there are 4 modifications of turbodiesels, with the same volume of 2.0 tdi. Three of them have a capacity of 150 horses, and one has 180.

They are adapted from the checkpoint - two are equipped with dsg-7 and one each with dsg-6, as well as with manual transmission. Diesel engines provide maximum speed parameters from 194 to 2010 km per hour, dynamics - from 8.6 to 10 seconds of acceleration to hundreds. Average fuel consumption ranges from 5.0 to 5.7 liters. diesel fuel.

dimensions

The body of the Skoda Kodiak has a predecessor in its architecture - this is the MQB platform, with the consent of the Germans from their second generation Tiguan.

As already noted, the crossover has quite impressive overall dimensions of 4, 697 m in length, 1,882 in width and height, which reaches the height of an average man of 1.676 meters.

The wheelbase or distance measured between the front and rear axles is 2.791 m.

However, the most important overall parameters, as well as the volume of the luggage compartment for different positions of the 7- and 5-seater passenger compartment equipment are collected in the table:

Complete set

2018 for Russians who decided to change their car for a new Skoda Kodiak will be significant in terms of the fact that three versions of the SUV are planned to be released on the Skoda Nizhny Novgorod conveyor in the first quarter, taking into account the wishes of our brother, a car enthusiast.

If at first it was decided in Nizhny Novgorod to assemble Kodiaq of three configurations, such as:

• Ambition Plus;
• Skaut;
• Style Plus.

However, quite recently, the Czechs "in connection with numerous wishes" slightly changed their initial intentions, including in the list a complete set in the form of a front-wheel-drive SUV with a 125-horsepower engine, and a gearbox, which has a minimal, and therefore more affordable cost. Somewhere it will cost around 1 million 500 thousand in our wooden currency.

Price and its dependence

For an example of how the price depends on the configuration, we present data from the ŠKODA KODIAQ official website for the Russian consumer.

Prices are valid from January 1, 2018. There is no 125-horsepower front-wheel drive in these prices, as well as the Kodiak version of the Scout, but the general pricing trend can be traced, and there is nothing paradoxical in it - the larger and cooler the options, the higher the price:

If you look closely at the price tags, you will notice that where the maximum prices for Ambition Plus end, the next step is the minimum - for Style Plus.

Moreover, if the complete sets of the first model have a range from 2 million 17 thousand and up to 2 million 320 thousand, then the second - from a minimum of 2 million 326 thousand to a maximum of 2 million 580 thousand.

The list of smart options and solutions of the "Simply Smart" Kodiak can be continued with a separate, by no means exhaustive list:

• opening the trunk in a contactless way;
• equipping the second and third row of passengers with microphones for their communication with each other;
• fully circular video review;
• function of warning about the danger of collision with a person;
• winter off-road mode;
• and much more, up to systems such as energy recovery or cylinder deactivation, popularly called blowdown.

Skoda KODIAQ 2018-2019 model year is a full-size crossover with a ground clearance increased to 187 mm, a spacious 5-seater cabin and a record volume of the luggage compartment (2065 liters with the seats folded in the second row). The possibility of installing seats in the third row allows you to transform the car into a 7-seater.
