The first-generation Kodiaq was previously previewed as concept car named Škoda Vision S at the Geneva Motor Show 2016.[6]In December 2006, Škoda registered the name "Kodiaq". The name refers to the largest brown bear, theKodiak bear,living on the island of the same name off the south coast of Alaska. As part of its marketing campaign in 2016, theKodiaktown inKodiak Island,Alaskawas renamed Kodiaq for one day,[7]although the Kodiaq is not sold in the US.

In February 2016, images of theVision Sconcept were released,[8]and the concept model appeared in March 2016 at theGeneva Motor Show.[9][10]The final SUV was introduced at theParis Motor Showon 29 September 2016.[11][12]The first cars were officially delivered to customers in February 2018.

The Kodiaq is the first vehicle in the Škoda lineup to have Area View, Tow Assist, Manoeuvre Assist and Predictive Pedestrian Protection.[13]It is also the first vehicle in theVolkswagen Group MQB platformlineup to feature capacitive shortcut buttons instead of physical buttons for the 8 "infotainment systems.

Facelift

edit

In April 2021, Škoda launched a lightly facelifted version of the Kodiaq. Subtle cosmetic changes were introduced, including a redesigned hood and a more upright front grille, with slimmer front headlights that employ matrix LED technology as optional equipment. The changes made serve a functional purpose in making the Kodiaq more aerodynamic than before, by tweaking the bumpers and installing a new roof-mounted spoiler. The facelifted Kodiaq can be had with a choice of 17- to 20-inch wheels and some variants have been updated for the sake of reducing drag, while the high-performance Kodiaq RS rides on a new set of 20-inch polished wheels finished in metallic black and equipped with aero plastic shields. The biTDI version was discontinued on the RS and replaced by the 2.0 TSI 245 PS (180 kW) engine that was also found in Tiguan.[15]
