2.1 SUV segment
The SUV segment has been growing consistently since 2010. A-SUVs, as well as their bigger “siblings” are becoming
increasingly popular, and the KODIAQ is therefore likely to be a success, too.

4.1 Meet the KODIAQ
The KODIAQ is opening the door for ŠKODA to enter a new segment.
The great interest aroused by the VisionS concept car and the
more‑than-positive response that the car received from the media
during the world premiere in Berlin clearly showed that the trust placed
in the KODIAQ's potential is built on solid foundations. After all, you are
welcome to make your own opinion.
KODIAQ IS IMPRESSIVE
Hard muscled onone hand and elegant on the other. Radiates a strong personality, but does not look excessively
aggressive. For more details about the car's design see Chapter 4.2 Design.

4.2 Design
The KODIAQ is the first series production vehicle to present Stage 2 of ŠKODA's design language – the first “sample”
of shapes and lines to be featured by our biggest SUV was offered by the VisionS (concept car). The KODIAQ takes
the typical attributes of our latest models, including inspiration drawn from the Czech glass-making industry and
cubism, to a new direction. Its lines are powerful, yet highly elegant, and the vehicle radiates self-confidence without
looking arrogant.
Although a typical ŠKODA at first sight, the KODIAQ features a great deal of design independence. The key motif, double
edges and lines straightened in a unique fashion, is most apparent on the wheel arches. The “cut” wheel-arch edge
known e.g. from the Superb has become even more prominent, and is accompanied by the line of the plastic strip.
Also apparent is inspiration from Czech history – the integrated taillights refer to Czech cubism and the art of
glass‑cutting more than in any of the previous product lines. Generally, the KODIAQ features the boldest 3D shapes
of all ŠKODA models so far.

1. The key contributing factors behind the KODIAQ's ample roominess include, among others, the passenger
compartment moved forward…
2. … and the vehicle's long wheelbase.
3. Although the roofline falls down dynamically, the car still offers more than enough space for passengers' heads.
4. Compared with the competitors, the size of the side windows is really generous. As a result, the car offers unrivalled
outward vision from the 3rd row of seats.
5. The double-line solution was also employed in shaping the wheel arch/edge strip combination. The wheel arches are
now more square. The wheel arch edge is part of the protective plastic strip that stretches around the whole bottom
of the vehicle.
6. The portfolio of lightweight alloy wheels comprises 8 designs (sizes: 17", 18" and 19").

1. The integrated taillights feature a crystal-inspired structure and the typical ŠKODA “C”.
2. The robust plastic bumper is one of the details through which the KODIAQ shows that it feels at home not only
on city roads.
3. The hidden exhaust tip is a symbol of pure design, as well as of environmental friendliness. Another typical
ŠKODA detail.
4. The plastic strip with a honeycomb motif makes the tailgate surface look “lighter” while playing an important
practical role: as part of the bottom edge of the boot, it protects the bumper from possible luggage-caused dents
and scratches.
5. The plastic strip protects the doors when the vehicle is in motion, as well as when it is stationary, creating a barrier
between the metal part and stones flying off the road. Moreover, by overlapping the door profile, it mitigates
the consequences of careless getting out of the car; an effective solution, especially in combination with the
Door Edge Protection.
6. The roofline flows into an attractive, body-colour spoiler. The black vertical aerodynamic strips stretching along
both sides of the tailgate window are part of the “CO2 package”.

1. At first sight, the dashboard is more solid and its central segment houses the whole infotainment system with
a large display (as much as 9.2" *).
2. The vertical air vents save space while supporting the impression of interior robustness.
3. Pure design and easy-to-reach controls. Exactly how it should be.
4. The top segment of the dashboard on the passenger side is shaped to create a pleasant counterbalance to
the driver-side instrument panel. As a bonus, the decorative panel hides a smart storage compartment.
5. The inspiration drawn from the Czech glass-making industry is apparent also in the interior. The inner door handle
features an elegant, crystal-inspired design.
6. The premium-class atmosphere is underscored by the ambient LED lighting system offering a selection of 10 colours.

4.3 Interior
ŠKODA's brand new SUV boasts a generously sized interior to provide its occupants with a feeling of roominess and
safety expected in the SUV class, as well as other benefits typical of ŠKODA vehicles, including high-quality materials,
top‑class workmanship, timeless design, excellent ergonomics and a large number of “Simply Clever” solutions.
Roominess
In the language of figures, the KODIAQ's interior roominess is on the par with that of the Superb, the brand's flagship.
The KODIAQ excels in terms of total boot size and headroom, the Superb offers more space in the 2nd row of seats
in both longitudinal and transverse directions.
The figures in the brackets apply to the seven-seater version, i.e. the 2nd and 3rd rows of seats.

4.3.3 Dashboard
Besides the typical horizontal orientation, the dashboard design also features visually highlighted vertical elements,
including, primarily, the ventilation vents and the driver, infotainment and front-seat passenger segments.
The decorative strips are now getting more space than ever before. In higher trim levels the dashboard strip covers the
upper storage compartment at the side of the front-seat passenger. While the section above the strip is always black,
the colour of the bottom section can be either black or beige.
The MIB display has been moved up for better ergonomics (e.g. when controlling the navigation system).
The air‑conditioning controls under the MIB display are part of the smoothly connected centre console with
a distinctive cutout, that also contains a small storage compartment (suitable for e.g. a mobile phone), the gearstick
and driving‑mode and parking‑brake controls concentrated in the gearstick segment.

the portfolio. The Swing MIB is now 1.5" bigger and the Columbus MIB will grow by 1.2" to reach 9.2" (from CW 22/2017),
enough to compete with tablets. To underscore the “tablet look”, hardware buttons have been replaced with sensory
ones. Sensory buttons are also present in the Bolero and Amundsen MIBs to complement the rotary volume and
menu controls.
The MIBs can be linked with mobile devices using the SmartLink+ interface with integrated MirrorLinkTM, Apple CarPlay

Drive Green
The application evaluates the environmental friendliness of the car operation (from 0 to 100 points). Rather than the
achieved fuel consumption, it is the driving style that counts. The driver is alerted of any environmentally unfriendly
actions (changing gears inappropriately, not driving smoothly enough, speeding, braking inappropriately) by pictograms
appearing in a green leaf. The application provides an overview of the current points status; if the driver touches
the display with his/her finger, fuel-saving suggestions will be displayed.

Parking assistance systems
When parking, KODIAQ drivers can be assisted by as many as 16 “guardians” that take the form of ultrasound sensors (12)
and cameras (4). Data generated by these devices are processed and displayed by various parking assistants that differ
in the number of sensors in use and therefore also in the functions made available.

Park Assist
The functions of the KODIAQ's automatic parking assistant (Version 3.0) are the same as in the Superb III. The system
substantially facilitates the following parking-related manoeuvres:
Trailer Assist
This assistance system makes trailer parking substantially easier. Once the target spot
for the trailer is selected on the onboard computer or MIB screen (only with Area View),
the car's electronics select the best steering wheel turn angle.
the function gets temporarily deactivated when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed (kickdown).

Other notable optional accessories
Phone Box with wireless charging
Known from the Superb and Octavia, the Phone Box signal amplifier (wireless connection with the external antenna)
is located in the storage compartment in front of the gearstick. By boosting the telephone signal (ca 20%), the system
increases the quality of phone calls (better sound) while reducing the discharge of the phone battery. Moreover,
the phone can be recharged wirelessly, using the Qi protocol that is supported e.g. by Samsung, Sony, HTC, LG and
Microsoft. For other brands, third-party accessories can be used (i.e. Qi-enabled smartphone cases).
To maximise the potential offered by the Phone Box, the phone needs to be placed to the compartment rear side down.
Compared to the tow bar that made its debut in the Superb,
the KODIAQ's tow bar is designed for trailers weighing
as much as 2.5 tonnes; the release (pop-out) is controlled
electronically, using a switch in the luggage compartment.
A LED indicator in the tow bar switch provides the tow bar
position information: when the tow bar is secured (whether
popped out or folded down), the indicator is on permanently.
When the indicator flashes, the tow bar is not secured
against movement and needs to be secured manually.
Vehicles fitted with the pop-out tow bar from the ŠKODA Genuine Accessories portfolio feature the same functions
as those with the manufacturer-fitted tow bar.

Contiseal tyres
Contiseal is a self-sealing tyre technology devised to mitigate the consequences of tyre tread damages – a high-viscose
layer working as an adhesive and sealant in one is applied to the inner side of the tread to immediately seal holes
of as much as 5 mm in diameter (e.g. nail punctures).
In the event of a tyre defect, the driver does not need to stop and replace the tyre immediately, which, in some
situations, may be rather dangerous (heavy traffic, motorway, etc.). Contiseal tyres are compatible with standard rims
and, under normal circumstances, their performance is identical with that of tyres that do not feature this technology.
The Contiseal system is fitted to all 19" and 20" KODIAQ tyres; for 18" tyres it is available as an optional extra.
Remember that:
The new KODIAQ is fitted exclusively with second-generation infotainment (MIB) systems.
The MIB screen size is 6.5" in the Swing, 8" in the Bolero and Amundsen and 9.2" with sensory control buttons
in the Columbus (from CW 22/2017).
A USB slot for external audio devices comes as standard with all MIBs.
The KODIAQ can be fitted with an additional USB slot for rear-seat passengers (part of the Jumbo Box,
incl. a 230 V socket).
Comfort telephony (Bluetooth hands-free) comes as standard with the Bolero MIB and higher (optional for Swing).
For the Bolero MIB and higher, the infotainment systems feature SmartLink+ (SmartGate, MirrorLink™,
Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto) as a standard.
As an innovation, the Swing infotainment system can be fitted with SmartLink+.
All MIBs feature the Drive Green function designed to evaluate environmental parameters of the user's driving
style.
The Media Command App makes it possible to control the Columbus and Amundsen MIBs through an application
installed in a mobile device.
Producing 575 W of power, the CANTON Sound System comprises 10 speakers (including a subwoofer).
With the Phone Box system in place, the user can make phone calls also in low-signal locations.
Moreover, the Phone Box with wireless charging is now also able to recharge mobile phone batteries.

4.5 Safety
4.5.1 Summary
Besides the already well-known systems such as ABS and ESC, the KODIAQ features the sophisticated safety assistance
systems introduced in the Octavia III and Superb III. In addition to these well-established assistants, our new SUV
boasts several new systems that are making their debut at ŠKODA.
To provide its occupants as well as other traffic participants with top-class safety, the KODIAQ is fitted with a multitude
of cutting-edge camera-, radar- and sensor-based systems, and its enormously rigid body and as many as 9 airbags
provide excellent protection in the event of an accident.
The role of the assistance systems and passive safety solutions is to minimise the consequences of critical situations,
if any, and thus provide the users of ŠKODA vehicles with maximum protection.

4.5.2 Active safety
› Front Assist
› Pedestrian Monitor
Pedestrian Monitor
This new autonomous assistance system prevents collisions with pedestrians
and minimises the car's speed in the event of an impact. A radar scans the area
in front of the car and detects pedestrians on the road, using a sophisticated
signal evaluation algorithm.
The function is active at speeds of between 10 and 60 km/h (maximum brake
activation); at speeds of over 30 km/h the driver gets a warning message
on the integrated instrument panel.
If the vehicle is coupled with a trailer, the Blind Spot Detect system will automatically switch itself off and inform
the driver (of such deactivation) on the MFA display (or Maxi Dot/Colour Maxi Dot).
For a more detailed description of this system see the ŠKODA Superb LTG (2015) available on the B2B Portal
(http://portal.skoda-auto.com).
77
4 Product information
Front Assist
A system designed to monitor the distance from the vehicle ahead, including automatic slowing down and braking,
and to warn the driver of the danger of collision or, if a collision is inevitable, minimise its consequences by braking.
The system is functional at all speeds except for very low, “traffic jam” speeds. The Front Assist system can be set
in the MIB menu and/or switched on/off on the Maxi Dot display.
Vehicles with ACC and DSG are fitted with the Stop&Go function to
automatically stop the car and move it forward in response to vehicles
ahead stopping and moving forward. The KODIAQ stops and, if the stop
is not longer than 3 seconds, moves forward again without the driver's intervention. When the stop is longer than
3 seconds, the driver has to depress the accelerator pedal or move the Adaptive Cruise Control lever to the Resume
position.
Vehicles fitted with the Adaptive Cruise Control come with a third control lever on the steering wheel column
(left side, under the flasher lever).
More details about other safety assistance systems is available in SPI 2/2012 Assistance Systems and,
in electronic form, on the ŠKODA Portal (https://portal.skoda-auto.com).

Camera-based assistance systems
A camera (two types are available) located at the top of the windscreen (rear-view mirror base) enables the functionality
of three assistance systems.
Other cameras provide information to the Area View and Rear View Camera systems.
Area View
The Area View system provides perfect information about what's going
on in the car's immediate surroundings. Four wide-angle cameras
(1,280 × 800 px, 180° horizontal, 120° vertical) show real-time pictures
in the vehicle's 360° surroundings on the MIB display. Two cameras
are located in the wing mirrors, one in the radiator grille and one in the
tailgate (also used by the Rear View Camera system).

4 Product information
Lane Assist
The primary mission of this system is to proactively keep the vehicle in its lane. The camera monitors the horizontal
road marking, and the assistant intervenes in the steering to keep the vehicle inside its lane. This function is mainly
about safety, i.e. the system prevents unwanted lane changes, but does not play the role of an autonomous driving
solution – the driver is required to keep their hands on the steering wheel. The “adaptive lane guidance” mode is a smart
function designed to intervene in the steering in order to keep the vehicle in the centre of its lane.
More detailed information about the safety assistance systems is available in SPI 2/2012 Assistance Systems and,
in electronic form, on the ŠKODA Portal (https://portal.skoda-auto.com).
80
Other
Manoeuvre Assist
The mission of this assistant is to minimise the risk of a collision when the car is reversing. To detect static and mobile
obstacles, the system uses the ultrasound sensors of the Park Assist. If detecting a threat of colliding with an obstacle
(analysing the car's speed and direction) and the car's speed is between 1.5 km/h and 10 km/h, the system automatically
activates the brakes to stop the vehicle. The brake activation moment depends on the combination of the distance from
the obstacle and the car's speed. The function can be deactivated, either temporarily or permanently.
Pulling up the electrically-controlled side windows (if open) as high as 55 mm below the closed position
If the car is fitted with the front radar (Front Assist), the Crew Protect Assist can also play a predictive role: monitoring
the traffic ahead, the system is able to predict emergencies and intervene across a wider range of situations.
Multi-Collision Brake
In the event that the driver's/front passenger's belt pretensioner is activated, the Multi-Collision Brake starts braking
to prevent further uncontrolled movement of the vehicle and thus reduce the likelihood of further collisions, while
the hazard warning lights start flashing and the brake lights come on. The automatic braking system is deactivated
when the driver intervenes to increase the speed of the braking above 0.6 g or depresses the accelerator pedal.
81
4 Product information
In addition to audio and visual alerts, the assistant will intervene proactively, e.g. switching the headlamps off
if the driver has forgotten to do so or automatically activating the electromechanical parking brake.
Emergency Assist
The Emergency Assist system mitigates the risk of an incident in the event of the driver's sudden health collapse.
This safety function is an extension to the Lane Assist system and part of the Adaptive Cruise Control system, and it
also liaises with the DSG and Lane Assist systems and the electromechanical parking brake.
If the Lane Assist system ascertains that the driver's hands are not on the steering wheel, including after an alert,
the Emergency Assist takes over to slow down the vehicle, keep it in the centre of its lane and activate the hazard
warning lights that then keep flashing until the point of stopping the vehicle.

Immobiliser
This protection item is designed to distinguish between authorised and unauthorised parts of the system and thus
protect the vehicle against unauthorised use. Upon switching on the ignition the integrated instrument panel control
unit checks the validity of the key and all other components of the immobiliser system. If even just one part of the
system is not “authorised”, the system will not allow the driver to start the engine and engage gears (if applicable).
VIN label
Located visibly under the windscreen, the VIN and barcode label facilitates vehicle identification.
Component Protection
The Component Protection system reduces the likelihood of ŠKODA infotainment systems being stolen, because these
systems, just like their control units, are protected with unique, vehicle-specific codes. This code, unique for each unit,
is used for vehicle system authorisation that takes place upon each ignition switch-on. If the authorisation fails,
the function of the control unit concerned is limited, and only an authorised service partner can make such control unit
fully operational again.
The interior monitoring system can be deactivated by pressing a button located in the bottom part of the B-pillar;
this action deactivates the inclination sensor and the SAFE system, too.

4.6.1 Petrol engines
The petrol engines for the KODIAQ fall under the EA211 and EA888gen3 lines.
The technology of these lines and engines is known to customers from existing ŠKODA models.
ŠKODA continues developing and enhancing its engines – the EA888gen3 engine
(Chapter 4.6.1.2) has been redesigned since the latest description provided in the Superb LTG
(2015). Starting in CW 22/2017, the EA211 engines (EA888gen3 from SOP) will be filled with the
0W-20 oil to reduce engine friction and thus also the fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels.
The process of reactivating the two deactivated cylinders takes a half turn of the crankshaft (13–36 milliseconds),
is basically impossible-to-detect and has no impact on the smoothness of the engine run. The transitions are
compensated for by interventions in the ignition and also by throttle valve position changes.
The cylinder deactivation decision is made by the control electronics, and is based on the driver's engine-power
demands. The system is active between 1,250 rev/min and 4,000 rev/min and within a torque range of 25–100 Nm.
For a more detailed description of this system see the ŠKODA Superb LTG available on the B2B Portal
(http://portal.skoda-auto.com).
When combined with four-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox, the 1.4 TSI/110 kW engine is not fitted with
the ACT system.
B-cycle description
The Miller cycle is based on a difference between the compression ratio and the expansion ratio. The intake valves
(under partial load) close earlier, as a result of which the cylinder receives a relatively smaller quantity of aspirated air
Product information
(which is compensated by turbocharging and cooling the compressed air). When the fuel is injected and ignited,
the combustion gases have more space for expansion – as compared to the conventional cycle. This substantially
increases the combustion efficiency and reduces the quantity of pollutants.

* Basically, the CZEA engine without ACT system. Available solely in the combination of the DSG and four-wheel drive (i.e. DQ250-6A gearbox).
The design parameters of these engines are identical with those in the Superb –
at that stage ŠKODA took the following CO2 emission optimisation measures:
Friction in the accessory drive train reduced thanks to a new alternator pulley with
an integrated torsional damper
Reduced piston friction
0W-30 oil
Thermo-management enhancements
Reduced counter-pressure in the catalytic converter
Optimised quantity of oil
Technological solutions with a substantial impact upon the engine's economy and environmental parameters include:
the SCR system.
The two-litre 85 kW engine is derived from the 2.0 TDI/110 kW. The difference between 81 kW in YETI and 85 kW
in KODIAQ lies in the physical location of the SCR system that, as an innovation, is part of the exhaust gas cleaning
system, downstream of the turbocharger outlet in the engine compartment.

the trade name of the (aforementioned) urea solution that needs to be regularly refilled.
The volume of the AdBlue® tank is 13.7 l, the consumption depends on the driving style. The driver is informed of the
gradually decreasing quantity of AdBlue® on the info display, in three steps. This message is followed by a warning
message that states the distance after which it will be impossible to start the engine if the AdBlue® is not topped up:
“Range: 2,400 km”
“No engine start in 1,000 km”
“Add AdBlue! Engine start disabled.” 0 km before the AdBlue® is used up
If the AdBlue® is used up completely, the engine will not start. The AdBlue® top-up can be done by an authorised ŠKODA
service centre or by the driver. More information is provided in the brochure titled “Fulfilling by Refilling. AdBlue® – next
step towards the brand's green future” (2015).

Automatic DSG gearboxes
Generally, the DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox) systems offer a combination of benefits of manual transmissions
(high efficiency and excellent economy) and automatic gearboxes (high gear-shifting comfort). Other major benefits
include uninterrupted torque flow, smooth cooperation with assistance systems (Adaptive Cruise Control, Park Assist),
the “sailing mode” designed to reduce fuel consumption (so-called freewheel). The sailing mode that is designed
to “simulate” shifting to neutral done by drivers of manual-gearbox vehicles (e.g. when approaching traffic lights).
When this function is active (can be set in the MIB J ECO drive mode) and the driver releases the accelerator pedal,
the DSG control unit uncouples the clutch to interrupt the flow of torque between the engine and the gearbox.
With minimum fuel consumption, the engine runs at low (freewheel) revs and the vehicle consistently uses its own
kinetic energy to move forward (inertia). This way the fuel consumption can be reduced by as much as 0.5 l/100 km
(depending on the engine type and also on the driving style).
For the first time in a ŠKODA, the KODIAQ features a 7-speed gearbox with wet clutches: DQ500-7F (DQ500-7A).
This dual-clutch gearbox is designed for high loads, and is therefore a good match for high-power engines – with this
gearbox in place, the weight of trailers the KODIAQ can tow is as much as 2.5 tonnes. The system is based on a wet dual
clutch and a single oil bath for this clutch, the gearbox and the hydraulics. The control unit is integrated in the gearbox.

4.7 Body and chassis
The KODIAQ is harvesting the fruits of ŠKODA's extensive experience of the MQB – the new arrival is the third vehicle
that ŠKODA has developed on this modular platform. The solution developed for the KODIAQ is referred to as MQB37A.
Thanks to the MQB's high modularity and flexibility, the KODIAQ boasts all
MQB – modular platform used
of the properties typically appreciated in ŠKODA vehicles, including high passive
for vehicles with transversely
and active safety, generous space for both the car occupants and their luggage
mounted front engines
and, last but not least, excellent driving properties combining high comfort
and agility.
To reflect the specifics of the new SUV, including possible configurations with as many as seven seats and use in
off‑road conditions, the MQB platform has been modified accordingly.
Although the KODIAQ's outside dimensions are not above the class average, its interior is considerably roomier than
those of its rivals, offering space for both the car occupants and their luggage and highlighting once again ŠKODA
engineers' high competence in terms of interior-space utilisation.
The low kerb weight (with regard to its outside dimensions) and the high payload underscore the ingenuity and quality
of the car's self-supporting body and the MQB platform.

4.7.1 Body
High static torsional rigidity is an important indicator in terms of passive safety, as well as chassis tuning.
This high rigidity results in top-class driving comfort, as well as high accuracy of dynamic manoeuvres. In other words:
the stronger the skeleton, the more confident, comfortable and safer is the overall impression of the car.
Product information
99
4 Product information
The body skeleton design continues the trend set by the Octavia and Superb, i.e. a high, nearly 20% share
of hot‑formed, high-strength steel elements as a strong contributing factor behind the car's low kerb weight.
The use of state-of-the-art development methods and material technologies in designing the body skeleton
has the following positive effects:
Increased body rigidity More chassis-tuning options Higher comfort for occupants
Launch & Training Guide
100
USE OF HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL: KODIAQ, SUPERB AND OCTAVIA
Weight share* KODIAQ Superb III Octavia III
Hot-formed steel (PHS) (strength 1,000–1,200 Mpa) 20.0% 25.6% 20.8%
AHSS + UHSS (strength as much as 1,000 MPa) 19.0% 19.9% 15.6%
Cold-formed steel
LSS + HSS (strength as much as 400 MPa) 61.0% 54.5% 63.6%
The comparison with the third-generation Superb and Octavia shows that the use of PHS steel (over 1,000 MPa)
in the KODIAQ's body is extensive, completely in line with the latest trend. The resulting benefits for drivers
of ŠKODA vehicles are obvious: reduced weight, higher safety and, most importantly, higher driving agility…
moreover, in the KODIAQ all this is true also in off-road conditions.
4.7.2 Axles
The axle, wheel control and suspension design is based on the well-tried MQB platform technology (used also in
the current-generation VW Tiguan). Compared with ordinary passenger cars, the KODIAQ's wheel suspension system
has been modified to sustain higher operating loads. The springs and shock absorbers are tuned to match with the car's
weight determined by the engine and trim concerned.
Independent four‑link Steel; identical design Longitudinal control Gas-liquid, double shock
suspension tailored for 4×2 and 4×4; the arm extended by 20 mm absorber
Rear axle
The rear axle design is the same for both two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles; the only difference is that
the four-wheel-drive version includes components directly relating to the wheel drive system (axle drive shafts, etc.).
The axles used in combination with the adaptive chassis (DCC) comes with different shock absorbers – the shock
absorber units are fitted with electronically controlled valves and motion sensors on both front wheels [more

information in the following Chapter 4.7.3 Adaptive chassis (DCC)]. Compared with the solution used in the Superb,
the clearance height of the KODIAQ fitted with DCC is identical with that of the standard-suspension version.

4 Product information
The system can be controlled in the driving mode menu on the MIB infotainment screen or using the Drive Mode Select
button on the centre console.
Normal,
Shock absorber rate Sports-tuned Comfort
for normal driving
The core element of the system is a dual-shell, gas-liquid shock absorber with adaptable damping characteristics.
Each shock absorber comes with an electronic valve to control the flow of oil and thus also the damping characteristics.
Another indispensible component of the adaptive chassis is its electronic control unit that continuously monitors and
evaluates various input parameters to choose optimum damping characteristics for each shock absorber.
When the adjustment control system fails, the shock absorber uses pre-set characteristics that are close to those
of the Normal mode for the conventional shock absorber. In the event of failure of one of the shock absorbers
the adjustment control of the remaining shock absorber units is deactivated.
For a more detailed description of this system see the ŠKODA Superb LTG available on the B2B Portal
(http://portal.skoda-auto.com).

4.7.4 Chassis protection
As standard, the bottom part of the KODIAQ is protected by plastic covers that, besides their protective function,
are shaped aerodynamically to optimise the air flows under the car.
To increase the degree of chassis protection, the vehicle can be fitted with the Rough Road Package, an optional
accessory taking the form of additional protection for the rear suspension lateral arms and the brake hoses.

4.7.6 Off-road mode
In order to make the driver's life easier on difficult-to-negotiate
roads (at speeds of less than 30 km/h), the car can be fitted
with an intelligent system designed to adjust the characteristics
of the engine, electronic assistants and stability control systems.
The Off‑road mode is not available for front-wheel-drive vehicles.
Braking support:
› ESC Off-road (in addition to the solutions used in the Yeti)
(the control limits have been adapted to prevent undesired interventions when the driver moves the steering wheel
to compensate for road irregularities);
› ABS Off-road
(increases the slip of the braked wheels to increase the braking effect, using a “wedge” formed by the material that
piles up in front of the slipping wheel).
gear up automatically
› Gear shifting in the peak
torque area
105
4 Product information
Basically, the functions of the respective systems are similar to those in the ŠKODA Yeti.
Snow mode
The “Snow” mode (exclusively for 4×4 vehicles) is a new Drive Mode Select item. In this mode the electronic assistants
are set to cope with low-grip surfaces.
The ABS operates similarly as in the Off-road mode (makes use of snow piled up in front of the slipping wheels).
For better traction, the ASR increases the wheel slip, the power steering gets stiffer and the adaptive chassis switches
to the Normal mode.
The gearbox shifts gears earlier (higher gears at lower engine speeds), and the accelerator pedal needs to be pressed
more for higher engine performance in order to avoid undesired wheel slip.
4.7.7 Steering
The ŠKODA KODIAQ, our new big SUV, is fitted with a rack-and-pinion steering system including an electromechanical
booster (power steering) with variable effect (decreases with increasing speed). During low-speed parking manoeuvres
the wheel control force is reduced for good manoeuvrability. The boosting effect decreases with increasing speed to
provide sufficient feedback and a high steering accuracy at high speeds.
Another benefit of the electromechanical booster is that it helps save fuel, as it is only active (consuming power and
therefore also fuel) when required.
The design of the electromechanical booster makes it possible for the steering system to cooperate with a wide range
of assistance systems, such as:
Launch & Training Guide
DSR (Driver Steering Recommendation) – helps the driver to correct the vehicle's trajectory in critical situations;
Lane Assist – helps keep the vehicle in the correct lane, as long as the road marking is noticeable enough;
Driver Alert – fatigue detection based on steering wheel movement;
Park Assist – automatic parking;
Drive Mode Select.
106
The control units of these systems actively communicate with the unit that controls the electromechanical steering.
4.7.8 Brakes
The new ŠKODA KODIAQ is fitted with a diagonally arranged hydraulic dual-circuit braking system with a vacuum brake
booster. To increase the braking force in emergencies, the braking system includes a four-channel ABS system (standard
part of the ESC) and a HBA system (hydraulic brake assist) with the Prefill function to reduce the total braking distance
by preparing the hydraulic system (hydraulic unit, fluid piping, callipers and pads) for emergency braking.

4 Product information
When the car is stationary and also during uphill starts, the “Autohold” function prevents the vehicle from moving
(regardless of the road gradient) without the driver having to depress the brake pedal. Once the vehicle has been set
in motion, the brakes are released automatically.
The Autohold function is activated/deactivated by pressing the Autohold button on the centre console.
XDS+
Coming as standard across all of the KODIAQ's trim levels, the XDS+ is an electronic assistance system for increased
dynamics in bends.
Making use of selected parts of the ESC and ABS systems, the XDS+ basically simulates the presence of a limited‑slip
differential. By gently braking the inner driven wheels as the car is turning, the system makes it possible to transmit
more of the torque to the outer wheel and the resulting yawing moment helps the driver take the bend while limiting
the understeer.
Generally, the system improves traction and driving dynamics in bends while maintaining the driving comfort that is
determined by the chassis setting. The intensity of the XDS+ system's intervention depends on the cornering dynamics.
For a more detailed description of this system see the ŠKODA Superb LTG available on the B2B Portal
(http://portal.skoda-auto.com).
Launch & Training Guide
108
Remember that:
The generously sized body offers enough space in both longitudinal and transverse directions.
Based on the MQB-B platform with a high share of hot-formed, high-strength steel elements, the KODIAQ
offers a combination of high agility and high driving comfort.
The adaptive chassis (DCC) constantly monitors and evaluates the driving style and the road quality to
maximise safety. Moreover, it can be set to meet the driver's preferences.
The rack-and-pinion steering system with an electromechanical booster with variable effect saves
fuel and makes it possible to use advanced assistance systems while ensuring high accuracy of driving
manoeuvres, including parking ones.
The electromechanical parking brake with the Autohold function increases comfort when stopping or pulling
away.
The electronic limited-slip differential (XDS+) is designed to actively support the car's responsiveness and
agility and increase overall safety.
The four-wheel-drive system is based on an electro-hydraulically controlled inter-axle multi-disc clutch.
As an innovation, the Off-road mode comes with improved ESC settings.
In four-wheel-drive vehicles the Drive Mode Select system has been extended to include a mode
called “Snow”.

HYUNDAI Santa Fe
The third-generation Santa Fe / Grand Santa Fe with the Storm
Edge design has replaced two HYUNDAI lines, ix45 and ix55.
The intergenerational changes in terms of design, comfort and
quality have led to increasing the car's price to a level which the
brand's long-standing customers are not really used to. A facelift
in 2015 involved a number of new technological solutions,
including emergency braking and Area View.

KIA Sorento
The KIA designers say that the third-generation Sorento is
a “wolf” – not a mountain, forest or prairie wolf, but a “street” wolf.
By saying that, they are letting the world know that their biggest
SUV feels best in city traffic, on smooth roads. The Sorento is,
primarily, a comfortable, roomy family SUV. Despite its weight,
this big KIA surprises with high agility in bends resulting from
a combination of four-wheel-drive and ATCC (similar to XDS).

NISSAN X-Trail
The third-edition X-Trail has abandoned some of the off-road
capabilities of its predecessor and set out to meet its customers
where they really are: downtown. The car comes with downsized
1.6-litre engines that feel best on downtown streets and city
bypasses. Low inventiveness on the design side is compensated
by excellent access to the interior and seats designed in line

FORD Kuga
The story of the second-generation Kuga has quite a few
points in common with the latest-generation Mondeo (see the
ŠKODA Superb LTG): delayed arrival in the European market,
global design and agility compromised in favour of comfort,
a thing openly admitted by FORD by saying that the first letter
of the SUV acronym stands for “Smart” rather than “Sport”. Yet
the Kuga is one of the most “driver-friendly” SUVs in the market.

degree of agility) be combined with the benefits of an optional adaptive
chassis (DCC).
Onboard comfort (noise insulation, front seats, feeling High driving comfort was one of the priorities
of roominess) in developing the KODIAQ. Compared with the Kuga,
the KODIAQ's interior looks more airy and offers enough
space for both the car occupants and their luggage.
Ambient lighting (7 colours) and touch-free tailgate The big ŠKODA features an ambient lighting system
opening offering a selection of 10 colours. Like in the Kuga,
the KODIAQ's Virtual Pedal can both open and close
the tailgate.
Off-road image (robust look, modern 4×4, visualisation While FORD has simplified its four-wheel drive solution

designed to transmit as much as 85% of the torque to
a single wheel (in contrast with the Kuga, the KODIAQ is

MAZDA CX-5
The first MAZDA to feature Skyactiv, a series of technologies
designed to increase fuel efficiency and engine output.
The so‑called “Rightsizing” is appreciated by both experts (more

CX-5s sold). Key strengths include the aggressive Kodo design,
excellent on-road driving properties and ample front-part
roominess. A facelift in 2015 included new technologies (such as

5.2 Competition: Facts and Figures
As shown in the available engines table (Chapter 5.2.2 Engine configurations), the competitors offer a variety
of drivetrains, but specifically the petrol engines are rather difficult to compare. That is why the vehicles are
compared against these criteria on the following pages:
Top-selling diesel: configuration expected to be most popular, i.e. diesel engine, power output of around 100 kW,
four‑wheel-drive and manual transmission. The only exception is the KIA Sorento whose engine used
in this comparison produces 147 kW of power.
High-end diesel: top-end diesel configuration, with four-wheel-drive and automatic transmission.
The only exception is the NISSAN X-Trail that is not included in this comparison, as it does not offer
a comparable drivetrain configuration.

“RECONNECT”: KODIAQ Marketing Communication
6.1
& Campaign Concept
Campaign insight & essence
Together with the ŠKODA model offensive and in line with ŠKODA's “Driven by Inventiveness” brand core, ŠKODA has
recently launched “Reconnect”, a campaign designed to promote its new big SUV – the KODIAQ. And why did we choose
Reconnect? The Reconnect campaign is based on consumer insight showing that kids spend too much time indoors,
glued to their PC screens and isolated from each other. In fact, many of us adults do, too. We are losing touch with what
matters most – family, friends and Mother Nature – and that makes us frustrated.
The KODIAQ is presented as a response to this social truth, and as a perfect solution: it is designed to accommodate
families and friends while helping them reconnect with each other and the “natural world”. No matter where they are,
the users can always be powered by the KODIAQ's driving capabilities and enjoy its advanced comfort and connectivity
systems.
Campaign story
With the scene & expectations being well set by the VisionS, the KODIAQ campaign started with the official name
announcement, including the well-known story of renaming the City of Kodiak to Kodiaq as a tribute to ŠKODA's new
SUV. The key objective of the pre-launch stage, “the Road to Berlin”, was to seed the “Reconnect” concept. Materialised
primarily on Letsreconnect.com (content hub), the core idea was promoted by “Kids React to Nature” videos that soon
became enormously successful and popular.
Now, after the world premieres in Berlin and in Paris, the campaign is entering the pre-sales & launch stage whose main
focus is on the KODIAQ's features that make it possible for our audience to actually reconnect – using customer-centred
online mobile services, new comfort solutions, extra seats & space and top-class handling and driving capabilities.
Playing (of course) an important role, the KODIAQ's design is presented with due pride yet with a healthy amount
of humbleness. Design-related films have been produced to explain and show the key sources of design inspiration.
In the pre-sales period, the following assets are recommended to localise the campaign with the objective
of maintaining momentum and fuelling customers' interest sparked by the Paris Motor Show:
154
The following key assets will be produced and delivered to the markets to support the product-launch communication
during the launch stage:
All assets and “activation” guidelines will be available on the ŠKODA MilkyWay platform, and the markets will be
informed of the expected actions.
Proper setting of the campaign's communication KPIs and their monitoring is vital – in this connection, the ŠKODA
Launch Track platform is the key reporting tool on both ŠKODA HQ and importer levels.
Please stay tuned for regular updates and feel free to approach the ŠKODA Marketing Team if you have any queries,
comments or suggestions!

8.2 Product Information
Design
› The KODIAQ is the first series production vehicle to present Stage 2 of ŠKODA's design language.
› Its lines are powerful, yet highly elegant, and the vehicle radiates self-confidence without looking arrogant.
› The key motif, double edges and lines straightened in a unique fashion, is most apparent on the wheel arches.
› The portfolio of lightweight alloy wheels comprises 8 designs (sizes: 17", 18" and 19").
› Our new SUV comes with a portfolio of 14 body colours: 4 non-metallic and 10 metallic ones.
› At first sight, the dashboard is more solid and its central segment houses the whole infotainment system with
a large display. The vertical air vents save space while supporting the impression of interior robustness.
Interior
› The infotainment system has been moved up for better ergonomics and safer control.
› The dashboard is split horizontally by a decorative strip and vertically by the air-conditioning vents.
› The ambient LED lighting system with ten colours to choose from underscores the elegant atmosphere
of the interior.
› The everyday use of the vehicle is facilitated by over 40 Simply Clever solutions.
› High interior variability in both five-seater and seven-seater configurations.
› Three-zone air-conditioning Climatronic for maximum thermal comfort.
› As a standard, the Air-condition Climatronic includes a sun sensor and humidity sensor…
› … and the REST system designed to keep heating the car for as much as 30 minutes after the ignition switch-off.
› The heated steering wheel is an innovation to be appreciated mainly in winter months or in northern countries.
› The luggage compartment offers over 2 m3 of load space.
› The Cargo Elements are stored under the luggage compartment floor.
Equipment
› The new KODIAQ is fitted exclusively with second-generation infotainment (MIB) systems.
› The MIB screen size is 6.5" in the Swing, 8" in the Bolero and Amundsen and 9.2" with sensory control buttons
in the Columbus (from CW 22/2017).
› A USB slot for external audio devices comes as standard with all MIBs.
› The KODIAQ can be fitted with an additional USB slot for rear-seat passengers (part of the Jumbo Box,
incl. a 230 V socket).
› Comfort telephony (Bluetooth hands-free) comes as standard with the Bolero MIB and higher (optional for Swing).
› For the Bolero MIB and higher, the infotainment systems feature SmartLink+ (SmartGate, MirrorLink™, Apple CarPlay
and Google Android Auto) as a standard.
› As an innovation, the Swing infotainment system can be fitted with SmartLink+.
› All MIBs feature the Drive Green function designed to evaluate environmental parameters of the user's driving
style.
› The Media Command App makes it possible to control the Columbus MIB through an application installed in a mobile
device.
› Producing 575 W of power, the CANTON Sound System comprises 10 speakers (including a subwoofer).
› With the Phone Box system in place, the user can make phone calls also in low-signal locations.

and 140 kW) combine the four-wheel-drive exclusively with seven-speed dual-clutch DSG transmission.
› All of the EA288 diesel engines intended for the European market are fitted with SCR, a urea (AdBlue®) injection
system.

Body and chassis
› The generously sized body offers enough space in both longitudinal and transverse directions.
› Based on the MQB-B platform with a high share of hot-formed, high-strength steel elements, the KODIAQ offers
a combination of high agility and high driving comfort.
› The adaptive chassis (DCC) constantly monitors and evaluates the driving style and the road quality to maximise
safety. Moreover, it can be set to meet the driver's preferences.
› The rack-and-pinion steering system with an electromechanical booster with variable effect saves fuel and makes
it possible to use advanced assistance systems while ensuring high accuracy of driving manoeuvres, including
parking ones.
› The electromechanical parking brake with the Autohold function increases comfort when stopping or pulling away.
› The electronic limited-slip differential (XDS+) is designed to actively support the car's responsiveness and agility
and increase overall safety.
› The four-wheel-drive system is based on an electro-hydraulically controlled inter-axle multi-disc clutch.
› As an innovation, the Off-road mode comes with improved ESC settings.
› In four-wheel-drive vehicles the Drive Mode Select system has been extended to include a mode called “Snow”.
Market
› The SUV segment has been growing consistently since 2010. A-SUVs, as well as their bigger “siblings” are becoming
increasingly popular, and the KODIAQ is therefore likely to be a success, too.
› The main portion of KODIAQ sales will be generated by ŠKODA's traditionally strong markets such as Germany,
the UK, Poland, the Czech Republic (domestic market), etc.
Customers
› The KODIAQ is ŠKODA's contribution to the growing A-SUV segment. Our newcomer will lure two basic target
groups to your dealerships: “full-nesters” (still having children at home) and “empty-nesters” (with adult offsprings).
› What does the KODIAQ offer to attract corporate customers? A high variety of drivetrains and accessories plus
high flexibility in configuring all of the available solutions. Using a single model, you can approach a wide range
of potential customers, offering a powerful tool to fieldwork staff, as well as a status car to company owners.
Competition
› The segment in which the ŠKODA KODIAQ will compete is highly attractive. Customers have come to like these
roomy, robust and yet elegant cars – an SUV can meet the requirement for a car for family use, spare time and work.
› The KODIAQ offers an excellent utilisation of the interior space, and although it does not dominate the market
across all dimensions, the size of its boot is unrivalled.
› The KODIAQ wins also in terms of the maximum luggage transportation capacity.
› The KODIAQ is one of the most economical (environmentally-friendly) cars across the whole field of 7-seat SUV
competitors.
