Mazda announced the third member in its sophisticated Large Product Group, the new CX-70 – a dynamic crossover SUV expertly blending driving pleasure and performance with ample cargo space, exceptional usability and a sporty design that embraces and expresses the active lifestyles of its customers.The wide-body two-row SUV will make its debut in Australia with the widely acclaimed 3.3-litre turbocharged e-Skyactiv inline six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, both incorporating 48V mild hybrid technology. Already available in the CX-90, these powertrains take advantage of a Mazda-developed eight-speed transmission and the surety and involvement of rear-biased all-wheel drive.This ‘multi-solution’ approach of combining and optimising a higher-output engine with electric drive delivers enhanced performance and efficiency, contributes to the signature Mazda feeling of Jinba Ittai, and is commensurate with the “Passion Pursuer” concept at the heart of the vehicle’s development.Commenting on the introduction of this key model, Vinesh Bhindi, Managing Director of Mazda Australia, said: “As we continue to advance our product range with a host of cutting-edge products, the Mazda CX-70 represents yet another milestone for our brand – offering the hallmarks of the now well-established Mazda Premium philosophy that shines brightly in the CX-60 and CX-90, but with a distinct focus on pursuing an active and fulfilling lifestyle.
Škoda Auto announces the launch of series production of the second-generation Kodiaq, its SUV flagship model, at the plant in Kvasiny, Czech Republic. In preparation, the company has made considerable investments into modernising both the production line and welding shop. By transferring the production of the new-generation Superb from Kvasiny to Bratislava, Slovakia, the Czech carmaker has created additional capacity at Kvasiny to manufacture the successful Kodiaq and Karoq SUV models.The new Kodiaq will continue to be produced on its original production line. In a strategic move to future-proof the Kvasiny plant, Škoda Auto has invested 49 million euros in modernising the production line and welding shop. This investment also encompasses preparations for the production of the new Kodiaq iV, featuring a plug-in hybrid drivetrain. Key enhancements during the production line conversion include updates to manipulators, chassis assembly, conveyor technologies, and the refinement of robot functions for applying window glue.Until recently, the production line at the Kvasiny plant was also used for the Škoda Superb. In a strategic move to increase SUV production capacity, Superb production has now been relocated to the Volkswagen plant in Bratislava, coinciding with the launch of its fourth generation. This effectively frees up capacity at Kvasiny, enabling the plant to produce an additional 150,000 units annually of the Karoq and Kodiaq SUV models. Consequently, the plant is primed to build up to 410 Kodiaqs a day.
Increased SUV appeal for the Škoda Kamiq: new aprons and diffusers at the city SUV’s front and rear make for more rugged looks, while the larger and more upright grille complements the car’s powerful appearance. Newly shaped headlights underline the new look. The Kamiq optionally uses TOP LED Matrix technology with distinctive hexagonal LED modules. On top of that, just as with the Scala, there is a choice of new wheels and nine paint finish colours for the Kamiq.
