Skoda Kodiaq SUV

The Skoda Kodiaq is a mid-size SUV that marks a significant milestone in the history of the Czech car manufacturer, Škoda Auto. Named after the Kodiak bear, the vehicle was first introduced in 2016 to spearheaded the brand's global SUV offensive. It has since become one of the brand's most successful models, known for its practicality and 'Simply Clever' features.

Historically, Škoda is one of the world's oldest car makers, founded in Mladá Boleslav in the late 19th century. While the brand maintains its distinct identity and core operations in the Czech Republic, it has been part of the Volkswagen Group for several decades.

Today, the Kodiaq is primarily manufactured at the Kvasiny plant in the Czech Republic. To meet international demand, production also occurs through various partnerships and regional facilities in China, India, and other markets. The brand remains a subsidiary of the German Volkswagen Group, which oversees its global strategic direction and technology sharing.
