speaking of domestic volkswagen, many people will think of north and south volkswagen and jac volkswagen. in fact, saic volkswagen’s skoda also has a quarrelsome relationship with volkswagen. as a brother brand of the volkswagen brand, skoda is also very embarrassing in the domestic market and its position. not only can it not sell well to volkswagen, toyota and honda, it is not even much better than kia and shenlong.

skoda does not have many models on sale in china, including the octavia, superb, kodiaq, kamik, and karoq. however, they do not have much presence in their respective market segments. fabia, fabia, products such as yeti, xinrui, and xindong have already been discontinued and withdrawn from the market. kodiak is a product that performs well in the skoda brand, so saic volkswagen skoda is also continuing to make a fuss around kodiak.

a few days ago, we learned through the official website of saic volkswagen skoda: the new kodiaq has been launched quietly. the new car has launched a total of 4 models, with a price range of 191,900-243,900 yuan, and some car purchase policies are also provided.

anyone who knows a little bit about cars knows that kodiak is essentially volkswagen's tiguan l, but it is different in brand. you must know that the current official guide price of tiguan l is only 186,800-266,800 yuan, while the kodiaq has set the starting price at 191,900 yuan. it has to be said that the pricing of kodiaq is quite reasonable. no wonder it often offers discounts of tens of thousands of yuan at the terminal. i believe this pricing also leaves room for discounts in the future.

the front face of the 2025 kodiaq adopts the design of the european rs model. the large front grille is paired with blackened split headlights and a three-section lower grille. the overall look is more three-dimensional and has a visual impact. it is very powerful and highly recognizable. at the rear of the car, it still has a family-style headlight design, and does not use the popular through-type led headlight set.

kodiak is positioned as a mid-sized suv. the length, width and height of the new car are 4701/1883/1676mm respectively, and the wheelbase reaches 2791mm. in fact, such dimensions are normal for mid-sized cars in joint ventures of the same level, but when it comes to chinese brand suvs , which is the level of compact suv.

forgive me for focusing on the appearance, let’s take a look at the interior of the new car. although it is a global car, in order to cater to the domestic market, kodiak also uses a customized 12-inch floating central control screen (and the screen of the new tiguan l is the same), with a 10.25-inch full lcd digital instrument, 10-color streamer ambient lights, etc., creating a good sense of technology. the new car also uses integrated electric heated and ventilated sports seats in the front row, and is covered with a large area of ​​soft materials in terms of creating a sense of class and texture.

the new car also uses a large panoramic sunroof, creating an overall sense of transparency inside the car.

the 2025 kodiaq offers 5-seater and 7-seater options to meet different user needs. the 7-seater version adopts a 2+3+2 seat layout, with four-way adjustment of the second-row seats and third-row easy seats. entry is designed with one click and is very friendly for large family travel. the seat adopts ergonomic design and is very comfortable even for long periods of sitting. however, limited by the body size and wheelbase, its three-row space experience is average, which is okay for short-distance emergencies, but long-distance travel in three rows is very uncomfortable.

all 2025 kodiaq series come standard with electronic parking, automatic parking, hill assist, tire pressure monitoring, intelligent fatigue reminder and other configurations. it also provides 360° panoramic images, active braking, forward safety assist system, blind spot a series of active and passive safety configurations such as monitoring and acc adaptive cruise are very necessary for daily driving.

finally, let’s take a look at the power aspect. the new car is still equipped with volkswagen’s 2.0t engine, which is divided into low and high power versions. the maximum power is 137kw/162kw respectively, and the peak torque is 320nm/350nm respectively. in terms of transmission, it is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, and two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive are available.

the starting price of the 2025 kodiaq is 191,900 yuan. not only is it not very competitive among joint venture brands, it is more expensive than the starting price of its big brother tiguan l. it is also now available in hyundai santa fe, honda, and toyota. the product prices are not high, and it is not that easy to get out of the circle.

in addition, it is even less competitive in the face of chinese brand new energy electric hybrid suvs. you must know that the tiggo 9 series and jietu shanhai l7, which were just launched in september, are not high in price, and their product strength is even higher than that of the kodiak. for the most part, traditional hardcore suvs like the second-generation haval h9 are priced at less than 200,000. the 2025 kodiaq, which is not down-to-earth and does not eat the fireworks of the world, is priced like this. i believe not many consumers will pay for it.

what do you think of the 2025 kodiaq? do you think it will be popular?
