The Škoda Kodiaq offers efficient diesel and petrol four-cylinder engines available in several power outputs, always mated to a DSG automatic gearbox, front or all-wheel drive, and meeting the latest emission standards. A purely petrol engine, a mild-hybrid variant, a plug-in hybrid petrol engine, and two diesel-only engines are available.
Kodiaq features the option of the next-generation Dynamic Chassis Control Plus (DCC Plus) with Driving Mode Select. DCC Plus allows drivers to customise the vehicle’s handling to their personal preferences: Normal, Sport or Comfort – an à-la-carte chassis setup. The new generation offers faster shock absorber control and a wider range of damping characteristics, which you’ll notice in the form of improved driving dynamics and comfort.
The safety of you and your family is our priority. Occupants are protected by up to 9 airbags that work in tandem with the seat belts. The Isofix and Top Tether systems are used to improve the protection of children in infant carriers. If an accident is unavoidable, passengers are prepared for impact by Crew Protect Assist which, in the front, closes the windows and activates belt pretensioning. ESC, ABS and many other systems also keep an eye on the car when it is on the go.
The Škoda Kodiaq features efficient TOP LED lights front and back. The main advantage of TOP LED Matrix headlights is their Matrix function, which, by lighting up and extinguishing the individual LED sources in sequence, prevents other road users from being dazzled. This means you can keep the powerful full beam on all the time on your travels so that you have a perfect insight into what is happening around you.
The TOP LED Matrix headlights are complemented by the very best TOP LED tail lights with dynamic direction indicators and welcome effect, incorporating diodes for every function. TOP LED tail lights are interconnected by a red strip that has a 3D crystalline structure.
Inching forward a bit at a time as you pass pedestrians and cyclists. The Škoda Kodiaq’s job is to make this easier for you. The Front Assist with Predictive Pedestrian and Cyclist Protection can alert you or stop the car in the event of an imminent collision with another vehicle or a person. Side Assist detects vehicles approaching from behind or in the car’s blind spot up to 70 m away, so it also effective at warning the driver of hazardous situations on multi-lane roads and motorways.
When you buy the Kodiaq, all your parking worries are over. Rear Traffic Alert will help you exit a line of cars as it detects whether another car is approaching and alerts you in good time. Park Distance Control with Manoeuvre Assist makes sure you don’t hit any obstacles when manoeuvring the car in tight spaces. A useful component of Intelligent Park Assist is Trained Parking, which is used for the automatic completion of a parking manoeuvre in a parking spot that is in a familiar environment, e.g. at home.
When you’re on the motorway, systems are ready to help by taking some of the driving for you. Travel Assist integrates several systems and functions to make driving a lot easier and increase travelling comfort. Once activated, Travel Assist can automatically stop and restart, keep the car in lane, follow other vehicles in a traffic jam, or show the surrounding traffic on a display in front of you.
Smart function Traffic Sign Recognition shows the traffic signs on the car’s display so you can keep track of the situation. In case of an accident, the Multi-Collision Brake prevents further uncontrolled vehicle movement by braking, thus reducing the risk of multiple collisions.
