Following an extensive marketing campaign, sprinkled with numerous reports, scoops, and even an official presentation, the all-new Skoda Kodiaq is finally here, and it can be seen at the 2016 Paris Auto Show.

Set to go on sale from early next year, the manufacturer’s first ever large SUV sits at 4,679 mm long, 1,882 mm wide, and 1,676 mm tall, with a 2,791 mm wheelbase. It’s said to have the largest boot volume in its class, at 720 liters, expandable up to 2,065 liters with the rear seats folded down.

Strip it down and it will reveal its modular transverse matrix (MQB) architecture, which is found under most mainstream models developed under the Volkswagen umbrella. The platform opens the possibility for both FWD and AWD and allows for the adoption of five powertrains, which at the time of its launch, include three TSI petrols and two TDI diesels.

There is plenty of standard and optional equipment available on the Skoda Kodiaq, from Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, to the LTE module, Adaptive Cruise Control and Autonomous Emergency Braking.
