New Skoda Kodiaq - Exterior Design
In terms of design, the test mule of the new-gen Kodiaq was painted white and featured aerodynamic wheel covers. The new Kodiaq has a boxier shape compared to the previous version. The well-known Skoda butterfly grille is still there but now looks more aggressive with its all-black vertical slats. The split headlamps have been redesigned with wider clusters and LED daytime running lights. The front bumper also has a new, sleeker look and there's a hidden radar sensor suggesting advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) might be included. The rear end is longer, indicating a possible increase in the overall length of the vehicle. The back of the car features new C-shaped LED taillights with the Skoda logo in the middle. A roof spoiler, optional dark chrome trim on the D-pillars, potential new alloy wheel designs and squared-off wheel arches with black cladding complete the new exterior design.
