Volvo V90 Cross Country 2017 -  Premium ambiance with terrain ambitions

It is worth recalling that Volvo started Cross Country range nearly 20 years ago when it first introduced its model. According to Volvo, Cross Country models are particularly important for their portfolio as purchasers of luxury vehicles have a lifestyle that occasionally requires driving off the pavement. President of Volvo - Hakan Samuelsson - formulate it this way - "Volvo V90 Cross Country takes the elegance of V90 and transforms it into a vehicle that delivers safety, comfort and performance fit and adventurous package."

The new Cross Country will offer all the advantages and benefits of the "regular" V90 - here are all the drive units that Volvo offers - D4, D5, T5, and T6, which have a capacity between 190 and up to 320 horsepower, and the power It will be supplied to all four wheels. In terms of regular V90, Cross Country is higher  65 mm more and the distance from the substrate is respectable 218 mm.

Sure, Volvo would not be a Volvo if it did not offer a full range of active and passive safety and V90 will get all the systems that his brothers have - we expect this to be one of the safest - if not the safest - model in the class.

New Skoda Kodiaq 2017 - Big SUV from Skoda

After a long announcement and many "teaser" released by Skoda, today finally we have before us a new SUV for the Czech brand, the All New Skoda Kodiaq 2017. Immediately the question arises whether new Skoda Kodiaq 2017 is the successor to the successful Skoda Yeti, maybe many would consider that that thinking is correct but however  we can note that Kodiaq is bigger. The new SUV of Skoda is long 4.7 meters wide 1.9 meters, 1.7 meters high and has a wheelbase of 2.8 meters - and with that dimension, the new Skoda Kodiaq 2017 offers superior space and practicality.



Kodiaq is an interesting interpretation of the current design of the Czech brand. The design direction that Skoda presented with the excellent Skoda Superb, here was transformed into SUV variant and in our eyes looks very attractive. The design offers an interesting combination between design and somewhat conservative approach to the design of Skoda, without looking too intrusive. We like the classic SUV proportions and lines without unnecessary detail and "fancy" accessories.

New Skoda Kodiaq 2017 - New SUV from the Czech brand

The interior is the real deal in the new Skoda Kodiaq 2017. The new SUV of Skoda can be ordered with five or seven seats and in the boot will offer capacity that varies between 720 and 2065 liters (with the seats folded) - an impressive figure that puts the very top of the class. Also,  there is the inevitable modern technology in the form of systems to assist in driving and safety systems. For the first time in a model of Skoda will be installed four cameras for a full 360 degrees look around the vehicle, and in Kodiaq will be offered latest generation multimedia which also offers Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Skoda MirrorLink opportunity to connect with smartphones.

Customers will be able to choose among several turbo petrol and turbo diesel engines. The offer from petrol engines will be 1.4-liter and 2-liter TSI turbo petrol. The smaller engine will be available with an output of 125 horsepower and 200 Nm of torque. A step above is more powerful 1.4-liter TSI with 150 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque. Top of the offer for the petrol engine is a 2-liter TSI that delivers 180 horsepower and 320 Nm of torque.

Much more logical for many buyers will be turbo-diesels. Here Skoda offering two variants of the 2-liter TDI - one with 150 horsepower and 340 Nm of torque, and more one more powerful with 190 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque. Equipped with a more powerful turbo diesel, Kodiaq accelerates to 100 kph in 8.6 seconds and reaches a maximum of 210 kilometers per hour. Customers will be able to combine the engine with 6-speed manual or 7-speed DSG automatic transmission with double clutch.
