INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR DESIGN

In comparisonwith other versions of the family, the Sportline looks spectacular and sportyaggressively. The body was as much as possible “unloaded” fromplastic linings, there was only a minimal protection on the front, rear bumpersand wheel arches. In black, the radiator grille, rear-view mirrors, edging ofthe side windows and rails are now painted. The front and rear bumpers got anew shape and are complemented by shiny black accents. It is interesting thatthe designers with the help of chrome made an imitation of exhaust pipes,although in reality the exhaust is located under the bottom of the car.

In the basicversion, the Sportline is equipped with an Ambition version, which is theaverage for the regular version of the Kodiak. But there are a number ofdifferences, for example, in the “sports” version, front seats withmore developed lateral support are installed and trimmed with alcantara with asilver thread. The leather is trimmed with a handle and a redesigned steeringwheel, the pedals now have aluminum pads. Another interesting solution is theexterior mirrors in which a light source is directed downward to illuminate thespace when landing and disembarking from the car. As standard, the Sportlineincludes LED interior lighting (10 colors), a multifunction display Maxi DOT inthe instrument cluster, side mirrors with electric adjustment and folding, adriving control system Driving Mode Select with options for Eco, Comfort, Normal,Sport, Individual, Snow.
