Discover the first-gen Skoda Kodiaq's new armored version, blending subtle style with bulletproof safety and advanced protection features.
First-Gen Skoda Kodiaq: A Versatile Mid-Size Crossover SUV
Though the first-generation Skoda Kodiaq may lack the flashiness of its successor, it remains a dependable and capable mid-size crossover SUV. Its understated design and discreet presence often cause it to be overshadowed by more eye-catching models.
Skoda Kodiaq Armored: Discreet Bulletproof Protection
Skoda Auto offers an elevated level of security with its armored Kodiaq, developed alongside UTAC Special Vehicles. This bullet- and blast-resistant crossover meets the rigorous PAS 300 and PAS 301 Civilian Armored Vehicle certifications.
Equipped with bullet-resistant glass and armored steel plating, the Kodiaq Armored protects occupants from various firearms and explosive threats, including grenades. Upgraded suspension and brake components maintain the SUV's agility and drivability despite the additional protection.
Additional features include a tire retention system allowing continued mobility when tires are deflated, integrated emergency lighting, and siren systems. While its price reflects its specialized nature, the Kodiaq Armored exemplifies Skoda’s dedication to occupant safety.
Following the success of the Superb Armored, which has sold nearly 500 units since 2018, the Kodiaq Armored offers a more accessible alternative to high-end luxury armored vehicles, prioritizing safety without compromising reliability.
