Skoda Kodiaq SportLine


Skoda Kodiaq reports to put finger at a hotter version next year. Dubbed the SportLine and it will follow hot on the heels of the Superb SportLine in a more aggressive tone, which will bring it close to Volkswagen's Tiguan R-Line.

Setting it apart from the usual S, SE, SE L, and Edition trims will be a series of visual revisions that will include beefier bumpers and larger wheels, along with other tweaks and probably a reduced ground height, considering that the sedan sits 15 mm closer to the road in the range-topping flavor.


As far as power goes, it's uncertain whether Kodiaq will use the same 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol unit from the Superb SportLine, which is good for 280 PS, or whether they will stick to an initial announcement that referred to a twin-turbo diesel lump with as much as 240 PS 'borrowed' from the Euro-spec Passat.

It shouldn’t take long for Skoda to reveal the full details on such a model though, as it's expected to celebrate its world debut next March at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.
