1. Exclusive Design: What makes the Hockey Edition stand out from the other Kodiaqs?

The first thing that catches your eye is unique And the accents. Hockey Edition It is offered in three exclusive body colors: "Race Blue Metallic" (blue metallic), "Crystal Black" (deep black) and "Brilliant Silver" (silver)The latter is only available for this version. But the differences are not limited to the paint:

• 🏒 Hockey stick logos on the front wings and the rear door - made in the style of the Czech team.
• 🔥 19-inch lightweight "Trigon" discs** with a glossy finish, designed specifically for the series.
• 🚗 Black moldings and pads on bumpers, wheel arches and side mirrors (instead of chrome in standard versions).
• 💡 Dark tinting of taillights and darkened windows (privacy 65%).

I wonder what Škoda I did not overload the design with sports elements, preserving the elegance of the crossover. For example, front bumper remained without aggressive "fangs", and the rear spoiler turned out to be neat, without spoiling the overall harmony of the silhouette. It does. Hockey Edition universal: it looks appropriate both in the parking lot near the hockey arena and in the business district.

• ✅ Controllability in mode Sport (compared to Comfort).
• ✅ Appearance The car is often mistaken for a more expensive version.

But there are also criticisms:
