Skoda Kodiaq is a high-end German SUV with 5 and 7 seats. It has won the favor of many users with its spacious interior space, strong power and rich and practical technological configurations since its launch three years ago. In the process of daily car use, there are many moments that make Kodiak riders feel “confirmed their eyes and bought the right car”.
Catapult start, quick move
Ejection start is an operation that driving fans are keen on. Set the driving mode to “Sport”, and on the premise of ensuring driving safety and not violating traffic rules, turn off the ESP electronic body stabilization system, and depress the accelerator and brake pedals to the bottom at the same time. Then release the brakes and the Kodiaq can sprint forward with maximum acceleration. The actual measurement shows that the 0-100km/h acceleration time of the Kodiak TSI380 model easily breaks through the 7-second mark when using the ejection start mode.
As a medium-sized SUV with a self-weight of over 1.6 tons, Kodiaq accelerates unambiguously. This is mainly due to its powerful engine. It is equipped with two turbocharged engines, TSI330 and TSI380, which have the typical characteristics of low speed and high torque of German cars. Taking the TSI380 model as an example, the engine can output a maximum torque of 350N m at a speed of 1500rpm and maintain it at 4400rpm, which makes it easy to start and accelerate in the middle.
Intimate umbrella slot, no worries about rain
More users are fans of Kodiak’s Simply Clever smart solution, feeling the daily “little fortune”. Kodiaq’s left front door is designed with an umbrella slot, which is specially used to store short-handled umbrellas. What’s more considerate is that the umbrella slot also has a water guide groove, which can easily drain the water on the umbrella surface to the outside of the car, so you don’t have to worry about the umbrella getting wet in the car on rainy days.
The double-opening glove box is also a unique device of Kodiaq. Its glove box is layered up and down, and can be opened separately, so that the storage of items is more organized. There is also an air-conditioning outlet hidden in the lower glove box of the luxury premium version and above models, which can be used to cool drinks in summer. Other thoughtful designs such as card slots, roof glasses boxes, B-pillar coat hooks, and dual USB charging ports in the rear abound, each of which is very practical.
Virtual pedal, free your hands
For many users who are used to going to the supermarket for big purchases on weekends, the electric tailgate with inductive opening function is an inseparable function after use. When carrying a large bag or a small bag, you can’t move your hands, as long as you have the car key by your side, go around to the rear of the car, stretch your legs and swipe under the rear bumper, and the tailgate will automatically open.
There are many similar technology configurations on Kodiak, which greatly facilitates daily car use. For example, the standard 8-inch intelligent multifunctional navigation and entertainment system not only supports mainstream mobile phone car interconnection systems such as Apple CarPlay and Baidu CarLife, but also has functions such as HKUST iFlytek AI cloud assistant and free online upgrade of AutoNavi maps. When driving, it is especially convenient to set the navigation route through voice control.
