Top-selling Skoda Kodiaq Now Boasts a Dual-Power System: Hybrid Edition
The latest addition to the Skoda Kodiaq family, the Kodiaq Plug-in-Hybrid, boasts an extended electric range, surpassing the first-generation model significantly. The new Kodiaq iV houses a 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine and an electric motor, coupled with a larger 25.7kWh battery pack. This powerful duo delivers a combined output of 150kW and 350Nm.
According to WLTP assessments, the Kodiaq iV offers a combined electric driving range of 109km to 125km, with real-world tests showcasing up to 123km. This is a significant improvement compared to the previous model, offering an electric range of up to 50km (real-world 43km) in practical usage.
Charging capabilities have also seen an upgrade, with a 10% to 80% DC charge taking just 26 minutes, or 2 hours 30 minutes using an 11kW AC wallbox.
Now measuring 4.76 meters in length, the Kodiaq iV is the largest SUV within the Skoda brand, competing in the premium mid-size class. It boasts a visually powerful design, with a two-story headlight setup and a sculptured Skoda radiator grille that evokes a sense of modern high-tech and subtle aggressiveness.
Inside, the new Kodiaq iV promises enhanced comfort and usability. The central 12.9-inch touchscreen offers navigation, numerous apps, and a variety of touchscreen-controlled functions. Three rotary switches allow classic manual control of climate and heating. Oliver Stefani, chief designer, reasons that the combination of manual and digital control elements caters to customers' preferences.
Behind the steering wheel, a 10.25-inch display provides essential driving data. While there is a noticeable step between the two screens, their generous dimensions and excellent presentation make for an acceptable compromise. Notably, the central display is two inches smaller in basic variations of the new Kodiaq.
An impressive improvement is noted in the vehicle's smoothness, with a noticeably quieter 1.5-liter engine amongst the four available options. The Kodiaq iV comes equipped with a mild hybrid system that aids the engine while providing power to electrical consumers and allowing for cylinder deactivation when not in use.
In top models, the combination of all-wheel drive, electronic damping, responsive and precise steering, and excellent brakes make for an engaging driving experience that will appeal to traditionalists. The Kodiaq iV offers impressive stability in fast-paced curves, delivering confidence whether on steep serpentines or more gentle roads.
Skoda offers the new Kodiaq at competitive prices, which reflect a wide array of available features. The Kodiaq iV is set to make a confident appearance in the registration hit parade, vying for success against global competitors including its electric counterparts, the Enyaq and Enqroq.
