2017 New Car Releases : 2017 Skoda Kodiaq
"The SUV has changed a lot since past cars based solely on utility and functionality - today, we face a world full of attractive cars, emotional and elegant-looking," said Jozef Kaban, Skoda chief . speaking with CDN design in an exclusive interview studio before the unveiling of Kodiaq in Berlin this week, he explained that: "We all knew that we needed a car that has a certain charisma, a certain character but. we knew from the beginning that this will be a real Skoda, so he needs to have some attributes of the feature. it should represent something. We are seeking a strong balance between rationality, between function and aesthetics. "
2017 Skoda Kodiaq
While Kodiaq holds many values of the famous Yeti, its versatile interior in particular, the design of this large SUV is as much a development that the last Superb and Octavia. "We knew we wanted to keep this genetic link, but the creation of another, his own language," said Kaban. It is also clear in the course of our conversation, it takes 120 years of Skoda's heritage very seriously, given its role as one of the brand's guard.
"Of course, we are one of the oldest car manufacturers in the world, and it is important that we show this link with the past," he said. "For example, the vertical grille, something we continue to put all our cars. But we would like not only the historical touch, but a connection to the place where cars are born. We make this connection with glass Czech, where we try to treat not only the lights and the glass in a particular way, but also the surfaces. - a little clearer, sharper and more sophisticated what is important for us in this design language and is we have a link to the limousines [Superb, Octavia], but now we Kodiaq with these square-ish wheel arches which began with the Yeti on other Skodas grid is vertical, but with simple lines. on the 2017 Kodiaq has double lines, giving the feeling of support, a stronger character. "
This is part of the establishment of a distinct design language for 2017 SUV Skoda, he explains, creating the impression of strength and security without looking "too heavy". The 2017 Kodiaq therefore has a position that required, but not too intimidating or aggressive. The deep doors and on the polyhedral sides are tempered by a deep shoulder line and carved door thresholds, sweeping the eye backwards. "What pleases me as well is the movement on the hood, how the movement goes above the screen, which gives the car an even more powerful element," said Kaban.
Human contact is also important, he adds, pointing to the clear bands within the 2017 Kodiaq headlights "We have the link to the human face, with eyes, where you can see the lines. The lash is a bit he translated, as well as show the connection to the old Skoda Popular Monte Carlo [1936 rally car] where we had this [tape] on the lights. The four eyes are a very strong element in the front, but now the lower lights are moved up [over all the Yeti], they are now symbolic, say. They come more to protect, and it gives the car a very special character. "The LED tail lights, meanwhile, echo the familiar C-shaped Skoda.
The 2017 Kodiaq did not, however, have extravagant decorative buttons as seen on the Vision S Concept (Geneva 2016) who previewed it. "Everything needs time," laughs Kaban, noting that commercial success and customer satisfaction are key priorities. "We must know that it is a good time if it is not the right thing for the brand." This does not mean that the more flamboyant finishing options may be offered in some markets at a later date: more outrageous the concept details were well received at the auto show in Beijing, he said. "The Chinese like the connection with the glass we put glass stones polished wheels, like stardust, it was beautiful. - For Europeans, too, shocking, but the Chinese have loved!"
Inside the 2017 Kodiaq shows a review of the same balance between aesthetics and functionality, and between a feeling of robustness and elegance, Kaban continues. "He does not try to look too masculine, inside and outside, but you feel spacious and the car is really protect you," he said, showing details such as large jacks vertical air as giving a sense of stability and solidity.
The cabin is simply and cleanly put-out, but with well-defined areas of interest - "you have almost two elements at the front, one at the front of the driver, one passenger in front, very well connected with the big screen, "said Kaban the relatively vertical IP provides a familiar sensation Volkswagen Group, and communicates the feeling of being in an SUV;. a band ambient lighting creates a link with the interiors of other top Skodas . recent range is also very spacious - Skoda claims the space of the first class safe for the five-seat configuration - and the third row of seats as an option adds little visual clutter as possible.
In terms of color and trim, Kaban said, "there is no radical step, but of course, we bring a few nice decorative elements, we close the premium gap. Even the way the middle of the tunnel and doors are treated gives you a feeling of a premium car almost. "it is held, especially due to cost constraints, but" for us it is very important that it be attractive to long term " he notes. "Therefore, we do not choose the most things bling, the most surprising things we see a bit like the investor's responsibility for the cars to stay out of time."
Ultimately, while more cautious and conservative than the Vision S, and in any case a gradual change in its sector, the 2017 Kodiaq is the result of careful research by a team who knows and understands its customers very clearly . As such, it is a thoughtful way to expand Skoda's product portfolio while preserving brand identity - certainly, both aesthetic and business wise, rational progress.
