Do we reckon the Kodiaq is due a facelift next year...?

Yes. Looks like I’ll be keeping this RS for a year 😂

Oh no.

 

Skoda have fallen for the gimmicky 'Dynamic Direction Indicators'. 

 

So 'Audi' = very uncool.

I rather link the dynamic indicators. Absolute gimmick I agree.

I had "dynamic" indicators on a Ford Thunderbird made in ... 1966!

 

I thought they were VERY cool.  Mind you, the rear light bar (all red, being American) extended across the WHOLE of the back of the car, and contained nine tail/brake light bulbs.  When indicating, the outer three on either side would light in sequence, giving an outward "ripple" effect.  Beats the Audi version hands down.  I seem to remember that, instead of an electronic flasher unit, it was all driven by a motor turning between contacts.

  

 

(Also, why are indicators getting so SMALL?  Many Audi/VW ones are so slim, nowadays, that the indicators can't be seen well in bright sunlight.)

The link takes you to a Superb page?

The Kodiaq is a Superb on stilts. If this tech is coming to the new Superb this year, then it is more than likely going to be on the Kodiaq when it gets a facelift... which given how long it has been out, could be as soon as next year.

Ahhh, thanks for the clarification, I didn't know that!

I was told 2020 - 2021 at a dealer. That would probably mean its slated for the 2021 model year. That MY would be produced after the 2-3 week summer production break in mid-August 2020.
