Second generation Skoda Kodiaq revealed at the Bharat Mobility Auto Expo 2025 — Top things to know

Joining its sedan counterpart is Skoda’s flagship SUV in India — the Skoda Kodiaq — in a fresh new avatar. The SUV has undergone a generational update, and the same has been showcased to us at Skoda’s pavilion at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. Here are the top things to know about the second generation Skoda Kodiaq.

Skoda Kodiaq SUV

The Kodiaq is Skoda’s flagship SUV in India that the Czech carmaker manages to sell a respectable 150-250 units every month. It belongs to the D-segment and goes against the likes of other SUVs in India like the Volkswagen Tiguan, Hyundai Tucson, and, how can we forget, the Toyota Fortuner.

2025 Skoda Kodiaq drivetrain details

The second gen Kodiaq comes with a variety of petrol and diesel engine options in global markers, but Skoda is yet to disclose the one that will be available on the India-spec car. We expect the SUV to come equipped with the same 2.0-litre TSI motor that has been tuned to produce 190PS of maximum power and 320Nm of peak torque. This turbo-petrol engine is currently paired to a 7-speed DSG and Skoda-VW’s 4Motion four-wheel drive system.

New Skoda Kodiaq design and styling

The new Kodiaq also follows the ‘Modern Solid’ design language with smoother character lines and a calmer overall flow. The rear has been softened and so has the front. The face features split headlamps and Skoda’s iconic octagonal grille. The rear gets connected lights with ‘SKODA’ lettering in the middle.

Skoda Kodiaq features and interior

The interior has also been redesigned, with a bigger 13-inch touchscreen at the centre of the dashboard, and three rotary dials, one of which is customisable, just like that on the Superb. Other features include a 10-inch virtual cockpit (digital driver’s display), sunroof, multi-zone climate control, seat ventilation, and more.
