Access the final Skoda Kodiaq has allowed us to analyze in detail inside. And, especially with their space, this SUV of 4.70 meters is reference.

It will definitely be in November when probably we can check what gives itself dynamically the new big SUV Skoda, the Kodiaq, and although we could climb a pre-series unit with camouflage suit. For now, if you already have also spoken of his first official data, and revealed some of its secrets, today we complete static approach model, which has made a great impression: so today we advance all the details and analysis inside.

Let’s start by saying that the New Skoda Kodiaq It seems to achieve good relationship between the size of your body (4.70 meters), unequivocally robust though not without elegance appearance, and the amplitude of its interior, solid and defined to transfer a sufficient perception of quality. Door to inside and compared to its rivals, those who have a similar size and, like him, 7 seats in three rows of seats, Skoda Kodiaq not known as wider than average, although it is wider and against a Mitubishi Outlander or Nissan X-Trail result. In any case, center row seat has a suitable width to allow it to be placed in child seats 3 -always they are not the most voluminosas-, although only two of the ends will have Isofix anchors type.

However, before that the door space between side door trim, or if we analyze is the width of the third row of available seat, the most salient dimension of the new Skoda will be the height Kodiaq between the roof and the seats. So much so that, in this model, at all can be limiting choosing the panoramic roof option, an element that always steals centimeters, although those usually it will use are high.

Skoda Kodiaq: Interior 7-seater

This amplitude of the vertical dimension also reaches the third row of seats, where the couple that expand selectively Skoda Kodiaq capacity five to seven seats. Admittedly, with about 87 centimeters here (what we might find in the rear seats of not a few coupes), an adult could hardly find comfortable; more when the sidewalk is really close, as happens in all such cars with three filas- the ground: in this case, only about 15 cm from it. However, having the advantage of two or three centimeters over its rivals, as it does, it is always good news, even for very possibly be occupied by those adults. Children have no problem with space, even if we want to use with child seats, given that the longitudinal displacement of the central row seats can deliver good space throughout the cabin. In any case, the access is not comfortable for the size of the gap, despite the displacement makes the second row seat.

He longitudinal space is between which may be found in A car Skoda Octavia only 4 centimeters shorter than the Skoda Kodiaq- and the Skoda Superb. It is the result of a distance between axis of 2.79 meters, the largest SUV Volkswagen group who use this MQB platform: This battle is in Ateca Seat 2.64 meters and 2.68 meters the Volkswagen Tiguan. VW future Tigual XL, with 7 seats as Kodiaq, Skoda will probably share with a base of similar dimensions.

Much of the adaptability of the interior of this SUV depends on the possibilities offered by the center row, in which two pieces forming the seat can be moved on rails 18 cm separately. Likewise, seatbacks can be tilted at different angles -well to promote occupant comfort, well to win a few centimeters to the load reached the case- and, of course, its three parts folded down. The latter possibility combined with the Lowering the backrest of the passenger in the front row, It is feasible to transport objects of almost 3 meters.

Skoda Kodaq: giant boot

If livability is in all its dimensions in the average or above it, the boot capacity the flies. Regardless of the configuration for the interior choose either 7 seats, 5 with the fully delayed or advanced bench, the Skoda Kodiaq will have a volume of exceptional load: Trademark, ultimately, for so it is with all its cars in their respective segments.

Opting for interior configuration that supports more passengers, the Skoda Kodiaq would have a trunk volume of about 250 liters: Is the equivalent to what might be found in a utility. Even if we consider the space below the floor of the trunk, and you can not stand the ocultaequipajes -of used, and through the spare wheel or not -elemento that series could be determined by configuration Skoda to Spain-, the capacity would be similar to that of a Skoda Fabia, a car that has, according to our measurements, the trunk more capable in its segment with 355 liters.

To dispense with the two rear seats that folded, their undersides form the trunk floor, the capacity grows to about 640 liters, Also according to our first measurements during the presentation in Berlin, or 710 liters. The difference is explained by the position in which the two parts forming the rear seat are located.

The quality feel that conveys inside the new Skoda Kodiaq is generally high and adequate for a car of its size. In the units to which we have access, we have not found maladjustment or plastic burrs, although hard plastic in some places in which we did not expect to find them: the case of all the trim of the rear and front doors comparison, in which the tops are more rubbery finish.

With regard to the dashboard, it is noteworthy, apart from the huge screens that can be inserted into the center of it, the presence of two glove boxes in front of the passenger, the upper hidden behind the more vertical plated area with a rubber floor; while the lower, in the usual place, with light and air outlet.

The seats first and second row of the new Skoda Kodiaq are large in size and even the front, appear to provide a satisfactory arrangement. Of course, they have the usual enforceable regulations in a large SUV, as well as ventilation or heating. The steering wheel, which can also modify its position in height and depth, can also be heated.

Skoda Kodiad: practical resources

Abound in the Kodiaq solutions Skoda brand named as Simply Clever. They provide, in some cases, a surprising practicality. It is the case umbrella staying in embellishers both front doors, huge aircraft type tables which are integrated in the front seatbacks and to have retractable apoyabotes, the ice scraper that is in the porthole fuel tank or trunk floor with double-sided, and the Headrest rear side supports to avoid discomfort to the neck. He too electric lock to prevent children from opening the rear doors or trunk light that actually makes flashlight. Yet perhaps the most surprised during the presentation, although we had already seen in some Ford, is a plastic piece which, by opening any of the side doors protects the metal edge of these of blows against other cars or nearby walls. The new Skoda Kodiaq ultimately be SUV of the most practical and functional.
