Skoda is set to unveil two new models this fall – the Kodiaq and the Superb. Before their launch, these vehicles underwent extensive testing in various climates, including freezing Arctic conditions and scorching heat in Arizona.

The Czech automaker incorporates virtual testing of new models around four years before they hit the market. After that, real-world testing takes place about two years ahead of the official launch. Over a span of two years, the Kodiaq and Superb covered over one million kilometers (621,000 miles), while the automaker simulated 40 years of actual usage through additional durability and material evaluations conducted on test rigs and in laboratories.
