The Skoda Kodiaq Scout also gets bettered approach and departure angles at 22 degrees and 23.1 degrees respectively. An All-Wheel Drive is offered as standard on the Kodiaq and the Scout version brings an additional ‘Off-Road’ mode as well on the SUV. The off-road feature further adjusts the throttle response and damper settings depending on the terrain that one is driving in. There’s complete underbody protection as well.
