Another crossover is in the works and it will likely be a B-segment model. Originally announced back in March, the “coupe” version of the Skoda Kodiaq large SUV is going to carry the “GT” suffix based on a roadmap shown recently at a presentation in China. Taking into account it will have a more sloped roofline that will surely eat into the rear headroom (and trunk), there’s a good chance it will be available strictly as a five seater unlike the regular model that you can optionally order with seven seats. Revealed: Skoda Kodiaq GT Revealed As Brand's Flagship Model In China Skoda has already expressed its interest as far as coupe-SUV mashups are concerned with the Vision E , but that will remain strictly an electric concept for the time being. As to when we will see the first Skoda model to feature the much-criticized body style, the Kodiaq GT is expected to debut until the end of the decade. For those wondering why the Yeti is being shown on the … [Read more...] about Skoda Kodiaq Coupe To Be Called Kodiaq GT

Skoda Kodiaq Coupe Confirmed For China Along With Two New SUVs
One of them is likely the second-gen Yeti while the other is possibly a smaller model. A couple of interesting slideshows have emerged from China showing Skoda’s plans to bolster its SUV portfolio with a strong four-model lineup. One of them has already been revealed: the seven-seat Kodiaq . It seems the model will eventually receive the “coupe” treatment, so expect the roofline to be more raked towards the rear end. That’ll eat into the rear headroom and will likely have a negative impact on the trunk’s capacity as well. It shouldn’t be much of an issue considering the Kodiaq is huge on the inside. Revealed: Skoda Kodiaq GT Revealed As Brand's Flagship Model In China Yeti (speculatively rendered above) and set to grow in size to become a true compact crossover. We have it on good authority that in Europe (at least), the all-new Yeti will be unveiled in the second half of the year and will likely receive its premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show in … [Read more...] about Skoda Kodiaq Coupe Confirmed For China Along With Two New SUVs
Skoda remembers the 1966 Trekka, Kodiaq’s ancestor
Based on the original Octavia, the Trekka was launched 50 years ago. The Kodiaq SUV is shaping up to be Skoda’s most important launch after the first-gen modern Octavia from 1996, so it’s no wonder the VW-owned Czech marque is pulling out all the stops to let everyone know the Kodiaq has arrived. Long before the brand’s first SUV, Skoda’s underpinnings served as foundation for the very affordable Trekka, which went on sale half a century ago bearing some resemblance to the Land Rover Series I. Described as being a “lightweight off-road vehicle” and quite possibly the first car designed and built in New Zealand, the Trekka was launched on December 2, 1966. Using a modified chassis of the original Octavia Combi, it was shipped from Mladá Boleslav in a disassembled state due to customs and tax reasons. Compared to the classic Octavia, the Trekka had a shorter wheelbase and a modified axle ratio together with chunkier tires and a more generous ground clearance of 190 … [Read more...] about Skoda remembers the 1966 Trekka, Kodiaq’s ancestor
