Design sketches released by Skoda give a first impression of the revised Kodiaq. The large SUV, which is also available as a seven-seater, marked the start of the brand’s SUV campaign in 2016. Now featuring a refreshed look and technological enhancements, the updated Kodiaq will be celebrating its premiere on 13 April.

One design sketch shows the front of the revised Skoda Kodiaq. In addition to a redesigned bonnet the look is characterised by a more upright, hexagonal Skoda grille featuring double slats. The headlights, which are slimmer than those seen on its predecessor, combine with the fog lights positioned below to create a new four-eyed face. Another noticeable new feature is the redesigned front apron, with a wider central air intake framed by L-shaped trim elements on either side and an aluminium-look insert.

The arrival of the Kodiaq in 2016 marked the start of the current Skoda SUV family and the model nomenclature using names starting with a K and ending with a Q. Available with seven seats on request, over 600,000 units of the SUV have been produced, and it is offered in 60 markets around the world. The world premiere of the upgraded Skoda Kodiaq will take place on 13 April.
