With only three days left to the new year, all the Skoda fans are up for an early present. The unofficial bookings for the Skoda Kodiaq facelift are now in order. Some select dealerships have started taking the bookings. The Facelifted Skoda Kodiaq is set to launch in January next year. The car and all its features have been revealed and now only the cost remains. With the set of features and looks on offer, Kodiaq can be the ground-breaking launch of 2022 if priced correctly.
A Quick Recap
The new Skoda Kodiaq packs a revamped design. It gets a new hexagonal butterfly grille with chrome inserts. New slim LED headlamps with the DRLs running at the bottom of the headlights. Thanks to the new grille and new headlamps, the car gets a more aggressive look as opposed to the lazier look offered by the old model. The foglamps on this model are placed higher up just below the headlights. This car also gets a vRS variant, that offers sportier looks with 20” diamond cut Sagittarius alloy wheels. Over to the side, the looks remains unchanged and offers the same bold lines and the chrome treatment around the windows. The car also gets a dual-tone color scheme, with the roof rails, rear spoiler and the ORVMs covered in gloss black. At the back, the taillights have a very edgy and slim look. We also get to see chrome treatment around the black skid plate at the rear.
On the inside, we get multiway electrically adjustable seats with memory function, massage function, ventilated and heated function along with adjustable lumbar support. It gets the new twin-spoke Skoda steering wheel, along with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and an 8-inch infotainment system. It is also possible that the car gets the new 9.2-inch touchscreen. the car also gets a panoramic sunroof and ambient lighting to elevate the overall finish of the cabin. The car will be offered in three trim levels; Sportline, Style, and Laurin Klement, but all the variants will be by the same engine.
Talking about power, the old 2.0L diesel engine has been replaced by the all-new 2.0L turbo petrol engine that puts out 190HP of power and 320Nm of torque. This engine comes mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch DSG transmission and we hope for it to get 4X4 set up just like the previous generation Kodiaq.
