The new Czech crossover SkodaKodiaq 2017(Photo) price less than 1.5 million rubles, in comparison with the co-platform Volkswagen Tiguan looks more profitable. The dimensions and capacity of the Kodiak are higher, and this is an indisputable plus.

The situation observed in the Korean pair of crossovers Tucson and Sportage, where in the initial configuration Hyundai is cheaper than Kia, and with an increase in the level of equipment Tussan becomes more expensive, is excluded. Recall that the appearance and start of sales of the new Kodiak at official Skoda dealers in Moscow are scheduled for June 2017. Until a localized assembly of the basic front-wheel drive version with a capacity of 125 hp is organized, the initial version will be considered a 150-hp modification with all-wheel drive and a preselective robot for 1,999,000 rubles.

Changing the style of design, we did not forget about the functionality and technical characteristics. For the Czech crossover, for the first time in this class, a third row of seats is provided. Moreover, thanks to the longitudinal adjustment of the second row seats, not only children, but also adults will be able to accommodate in the gallery. Not the last role in this is the dimensions of the new body, where the length of the Skoda Kodiak reaches 4697 mm, and wheelbase- 2791 mm. Trunk volume with the second row folded increases from 720 liters to a class-record 2065 liters.

Specifications

In order to stake out a place in a new class for themselves, the Czechs did not delay the debut of the model. World premiere of Skoda Kodiaq 2017 took place at the October International Motor Show in Paris. Europeans, as is usually the case, received the Czech crossover a little earlier than the Russians: the release date of the novelty fell at the beginning of 2017. The start of sales of Kodiak in the Russian market will take place after the appearance of the new Volkswagen Tiguan.

Competitors

The new crossover adequately passed crash tests and has positive reviews from the owners. Appearance, interior and driving performance are not satisfactory, the main issue is the price. According to the characteristics of the Skoda Kodiak, in many respects it is similar to the main competitors in the segment, but their cost is much lower.

Hyundai Santa Fe Premium called the main competitor. The exterior and interior are top notch. Auto has seven-seater saloon and many useful features. The cost of the starting model starts from 1.82 million rubles, which is more expensive than the similar Skoda.

Differs in smaller overall dimensions and inferior in build quality. The main advantage is the affordable cost of 1.4 million rubles.

— Korean crossover with a well-deserved reputation. In terms of configuration, it is almost a complete analogue.

It has a significant shortage of internal space and less off-road maneuverability.

Interesting in itself, so comparison with him is not always in favor of Kodiak. They are built on the same MQB platform, have almost identical controls and some design nuances. In terms of power, the Tiguan wins, but is inferior in cross-country ability.

New Renault Koleos according to its technical characteristics is one of the best crossovers in your segment. A well-thought-out European design and good basic equipment will compete with Kodiak, but it’s still difficult to predict how buyers will perceive such an update.

Despite the great competition in this segment, Skoda KodiaQ deservedly collects rave reviews. Successfully passed tests, thoughtful design and exterior of the car guarantee the popularity of the model, and the appearance of a more budget-friendly configuration will increase the number of potential buyers.

Conclusion

The new Skoda Kodiak model is presented in the basic configuration, which includes three types of engines of different sizes and power. The interior has a modern minimalist style, functional and well thought out. According to its technical characteristics, the crossover has earned a high peer review.

On the automotive market The Russian Kodiak came out in the summer of 2017. Depending on the region, the price of a car ranges from 1.7 to 2.6 million rubles. Body colors are presented in a somewhat limited range.

After the presentation, the novelty caused a stir among domestic motorists, so decent sales volumes are predicted. The launch of production in Russia will make the car more accessible to domestic consumers. Now you can rely exclusively on cars of the Czech assembly.

The disadvantages are the high price, the limited choice of colors in Russia, the inability to purchase modifications: Sportline and Scout.

Crossover Skoda Karok in 2019 is intended to replace the departed Skoda Yeti. In Europe, the novelty is already on sale and acts as a more affordable alternative there, which is not surprising, because the cars are structurally similar. Although in size Skoda Karoq less.

In addition, more budget solutions are used in Karok. For example, regardless of the drive, Tiguan has a completely independent suspension, while the mono-drive Karoq has a semi-independent torsion beam at the back. If you look at the front suspension, the Tiguan has advanced aluminum wishbones, while the Karok is cheap stamped steel. plus in standard equipment on the Czech crossover there is a very modest 3-cylinder 1.0-liter engine.

Exterior Skoda Karoq can't be called unique. All within a corporate-wide design, sharp edges, angles and sharp lines. From a round wheel only and a black and white framing of the manufacturer's logo. LED technology dominates the head optics and lights. Unpainted plastic protects wheel arches, side skirts and the lower part of the bumpers. Officially ground clearance is 18 centimeters, but in fact a little less. From the side, the silhouette of the Karok can easily be confused with the larger Kodiak. Only smaller 16-inch wheels give out a crossover. True, in the top versions, European buyers are now being offered more stylish 17-inch wheels.

Skoda Karoq interior has solutions familiar from other brand models. Even the shape of the air duct deflectors is similar to the same elements in the Kodiaq, only they were painted in a mirror image. The center console will please with a touch monitor, a button block and climate control control washers. Pockets and hidden places for small things are scattered throughout the cabin. But the rear passengers will be cramped than in the same Tiguan. All the same, the wheelbase is less than 4 centimeters. Yes, and interior decoration materials are used more simply. True, in the top trim levels, buyers will be pleased with the bright interior and panoramic roof.

Trunk Karoq most practical. According to the VDA methodology, 521 liters easily fit in the cargo compartment. And if you transform the chairs, you get a rather impressive volume. Most likely, in the Russian specification of the crossover, under the trunk floor, there may be a full-fledged spare wheel. In the European version, there is a modest dokatka.

Characteristics of the new Skoda Karoq

Using the proven VW MQB modular platform allowed the Czech crossover to get a fairly rigid body. A recent crash test showed 5 stars according to the EuroNCAP method. So with passive safety everything is fine with the car.

Initially, the model was brought to the European market with three motors. 3-cylinder 1.0 TSI (115 hp), 1.5 liter TSI developing 150 hp, plus a 2-liter turbodiesel (150 hp). A little later, a 1.6 TDI with a capacity of 115 horses appeared. As for boxes, the choice is limited to 6-speed manual and 7-speed robot. But all-wheel drive is only available with diesel unit volume of 2 liters.

Given the wide range of engines and gearboxes of the Volkswagen concern, most likely Karoq will receive its own set for our country. Most likely, the base 1 liter turbo unit will be replaced with a proven 1.6 liter aspirated engine producing 110 hp. Moreover, this engine has been produced in Kaluga since the fall of 2015. This will seriously increase the localization of the crossover. The truth is still a mystery why the European Skoda Karoq 1.5 TSI is produced only in a front-wheel drive version. Most likely in our country this situation will be corrected.

Concerning all-wheel drive, no surprises here. There is a Haldex clutch, which is known from other models of VW crossovers and connected the rear wheels to the Yeti. The only thing they put on Karok modern system electronic simulation of wheel locks.

German dealers offer Karok from 26,890 euros in the basic configuration with a 1.5 liter TSI turbo engine, front-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual. The cheapest all-wheel drive modification 4 × 4 with a 2.0 TDI diesel (150 hp) and a manual gearbox will cost a solid 31,290 euros. It is easy to calculate that for our country the price tag is clearly too high. Therefore, there is simply no point in selling a car without a localized assembly.

By releasing its new products in the period 2017-2018, Skoda intends to once again prove that it is one of the old-timers of the automotive industry. So, an experienced "fighter". Please wait until this time. To make sure.

The “winged arrow”, even if it became an integral part a little later, described the activities of the Czech automaker in the best possible way. The "Indian" is still alive. And further in the text we intend to present to your attention a confirmation of this thought. It is obvious that it will not do without clear evidence.

Let's start with Kodiak. Crossovers Skoda 2017-2018 will be in some demand, believe me. At that time Russian market and all the rest of the world will be conquered by the company's mid-size crossover, which received life in 2016. Undoubtedly. Everything about the car is with a bang: stylish appearance, interior comfort, enviable specifications. You can take without hesitation. 7 deserve special attention seats. Well, the beauty is "iron"!

The cost of a car in Russia is about 2 million rubles. Good "wheels", so you have to take. Yes?

Skoda Yeti / Skoda Yeti

Compact crossover Czechs. Its appearance should be expected until 2018 inclusive. Perhaps it will appear in the second half of 2017. Tests of new items are currently underway. Spies recorded the second generation of Bigfoot in the lenses of their cameras. It is expected that the car is waiting for a total redesign. In the spirit of the Volkswagen Tiguan. In general, the car is already popular, in the sense, the original. New incarnation vehicle will try to complete the movement towards the ideal.

The price of the rethought "Snowman" in the Russian Federation at the time of release, obviously, will be a little more than 1 million rubles.

Probably, based on an understanding of the advantages of the two new products, which were reviewed in the text above, Skoda crossovers in 2018 are waiting for a significant update. Rethinking values, so to speak. in Czech. Yes.

Skoda's new crossover, the one rumored to be small, will arrive in 2018. Relatively. The company's car business will be based on the Fabia hatchback and all its charms. It is already known that with its help the management of the Winged Arrow brand plans to compete with beetles and cacti. “Well, it’s still clear with insects, but what about plants?” Naturally, they mean Nissan Juke and Citroen C4 Cactus. “Ah, now it’s clear…” Modular platform VW MQB, apparently, will form the basis of the new model.

I would like to believe that the maximum limit in terms of value set for sales this car, small in size, will stop at the level of up to 1 million rubles.

Skoda Octavia / Skoda Octavia

In 2018, according to insider information, Skoda plans to transform Octavia. It is not known for certain how good the novelty will turn out. However, this model is quite popular all over the world. It is said that engineers have rethought the multimedia system so that the driver and passengers can communicate with the car without any problems. The style of familiar appearance will be preserved. At the same time, a (well, almost) kind of redesign is promised. We wait?

Probably the price tag new Octavia in Russia will be up to 1 million rubles for the basic package.

Skoda Fabia / Skoda Fabia

There is information that the Fabia model itself will be updated during 2018. In principle, automakers from the Czech Republic can be in time by the end of 2017, but why the rush? Despite the release of the company's new crossover, which was based on the features of Fabia, the "state employee" itself will be updated in accordance with all today's market requirements. Then he can easily compete with his own kind. And he has many such "enemies". Let's not waste time listing them, okay?

For the new Fabia, the Czechs in Russia will presumably ask + - 3/4 million rubles.

Skoda Rapid / Skoda Rapid

Among the novelties of Skoda 2018 presented in our list, you can find "Speed". In the literal and figurative sense. As for the car model with that name, its updated version is rumored to be faster. Increased speed, it turns out. More beautiful. However, the Czechs never had problems with the appearance of their offspring. It remains to wait a bit and make sure that they once again justify their own status as an old-timer of the car business. Good?

It will be possible to add speeds after acquiring an "additional "Speed"". At the same time, you need to put about half a million rubles in the cashier.

Skoda Superb / Skoda Superb

Another "populist" that stands out in the Skoda lineup. Note that its third generation had much in common with the third generation Octavia. Along with this, as noted earlier in the text, Octavia will soon be transformed. And Superb, quite possibly, will continue to improve. It's true. And he will continue to improve in the sense that he will fully improve the features of the former Octavia. It seems that it will.

For a brand new Superb, the Czechs want about 1.5 million rubles. Do we agree to their terms?

Among the new 2018 Skoda models, you will not find Polar, as it was a working version of the Kodiak name. But, despite such a kind of "bummer", you can count on the presentation of a coupe-like crossover that has already conquered the world. Such a Kodiaq intends to become a competitor to the X6 itself, whose manufacturer is BMW. The Czechs have very serious intentions. Journalists are waiting, as, in fact, the automotive community. We wait.

Presumably, the price of such a vehicle will be 2-3 million rubles. Note that the cost of "X-Sixth" in Russia now - from 4.5 million.

New Skoda 2017-2018: which "Czech" is better?

Perhaps that's all. We agree to these terms. The review presented last news associated with the Czech car manufacturer, dated at the end of 2016. Keep for updates.

In conclusion, we can only say that you should choose the best "Czech" yourself. See what you're counting on. See what your preferences are. See what the possibilities are. There are options. The choice seems to be an easy one.
