ŠKODA’s first ever SUV-coupé is a dynamic car featuring state-of-the-art connectivity and innovative advanced driver-assistance systems. The ŠKODA KODIAQ GT combines the robust look and versatility of an SUV with the grace and vigour of a coupé.

The fascia attracts attention with its chrome-slatted grille, LED headlights and the distinctive bumper incorporating large air intakes. The LED tail lights have the brand’s signature crystalline-inspired design. Other attractive features of the car’s rear section include a reflective strip running the entire width of the car, and a black diffuser. The KODIAQ GT is the brand’s first production model to feature the ŠKODA name in letters in the middle of the fifth door.
