The Skoda has officially unveiled the coupe version of the Kodiaq SUV. The Skoda Kodiaq GT is the Czech brand’s new top model and the first SUV coupe which is exclusively for the Chinese market. It will celebrate its world premiere at 2018 Guangzhou Motor Show.
China is one of the most important sales market for Skoda. It is also the only market in the world where Skoda offers a total of four SUV models which include the Kamiq, Karoq, Kodiaq and Kodiaq GT.
The Skoda Kodiaq GT combines the robustness and versatility of an SUV with the sporty elegance and dynamism of a coupe. The front of the 4.63-metre-long vehicle is characterized by a wide bonnet and black-framed grille with chrome-plated dual ribs. The LED headlights, three-dimensional bumper and front spoiler with wide air inlets reinforce its powerful appearance.
The roofline of the new Kodfiaq GT gently slopes behind the front doors merging into the flat tailgate giving the SUV a dynamic profile. Powerful wheel arches and chiselled side skirts in the body colour with matte black elements also add to the robustness of the coupe version of this large SUV.
The rear end features sharply drawn LED taillights with crystalline shapes and Skoda’s characteristic design. A fine reflective tape runs down the loading sill along the entire width of the vehicle and creates further accents alongside the black diffuser. The Kodiaq GT is also the first Skoda production model in China to bear the brand lettering in individual letters in the centre of the tailgate.
The interior of the new Skoda Kodiaq GT is also sporty and stylish, combining the space typical of SUVs with the emotive lines of a coupe. In the interior, the eye is immediately drawn to the high-quality materials and fully customizable Virtual Cockpit, which comes as standard. As is typical for Skoda, there are numerous practical ‘Simply Clever’ ideas. With Wi-Fi access and MirrorLink, Apple CarPlay and Baidu’s Carlife, the Kodiaq GT is always online and at the cutting edge of connectivity.
The range of drivetrains for the Skoda Kodiaq GT includes two engines – a 2.0 TSI with 137 kW (186 hp) drives the front wheels and the 2.0 TSI with 162 kW (220 hp) comes standard with all-wheel drive and a 7- speed DSG. Numerous assistance systems including Blind Spot Detect, Front Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with stop-go function, ensure maximum safety.
