A few weeks ago the town of Kodiak Alaska changed its name in honor of Skoda’s latest SUV . The town replaced the K at the end of their name with a Q to celebrate the new Kodiaq.

Well, now we have a better idea of what they were celebrating thanks to new spy shots of the SUV testing on public roads.

The prototype is still wearing a lot of camouflage, but what’s visible is very much like the handsome VisionS concept shown in Geneva in March. What didn’t feature there were the roofbars and wide tail gate that the Kodiaq now wears, which tend toward the practical side.

The Skoda Kodiaq, or Skodiaq, is one size larger than the successful Yeti, though they both shares their platform with the Tiguan.

The Skodiaq will be a seven-seater, and is due early next year, after its reveal in Paris, this fall.
