Skoda Kodiaq Coupe (rumor)
The sportier version of the Kodiaq is definitely on
the automaker's 'to do' list for the European market, according to AutoExpress,
which is citing the brand's chief, Bernhard Maier.
Skoda had already green lit a coupe derivative of
the Kodiaq for the Chinese market, which will be assembled locally. It would
love to have it at its European dealerships, but first it must ensure it has an
adequate production capacity - and that's no easy feat.
As for the coupe-ish SUV, this is expected to gain a
sloping roofline, sweptback profile, a front end inspired by the Superb, and
large wheels, on top of an interior familiar to other models made by Skoda, and
possibly influenced by several VW Group vehicles.
It should be offered solely
as a five-seater, with a bigger boot capacity over its main rivals, and a wide
range of petrol and diesel engines, mated to manual and DSG automatic
transmissions. GreenLine and plug-in hybrid versions are also being weighed.
