Next-Gen Skoda Kodiaq To Be CKD

Unlike before, Skoda India is going to launch the next-gen Kodiaq as a locally-assembled unit. The current Skoda Kodiaq on sale in India comes as a direct import and hence carries a hefty price tag. Thanks to the local assembly, the next-gen Kodiaq is expected to see a considerable price cut. However, it is also the reason for the delayed launch of the Skoda family SUV, given that it’s already on sale in the European market. 

2025 Skoda Kodiaq With 2.0-Litre Petrol Engine

The 2025 Skoda Kodiaq will retain the 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine that is offered with the current Kodiaq. The 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine puts out 190PS of power and 320Nm of torque. It will come mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive. The same engine also powers a range of other VW group offerings like the Skoda Superb, Volkswagen Tiguan, Audi A4 and Audi Q3.

Feature-Loaded

The new Skoda Kodiaq comes brimmed with features, with a few which are offered with the first-gen Kodiaq. Speaking of its key features, the new-gen Kodiaq will offer a 13-inch freestanding touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, dynamic rotary controls for HVAC and seat ventilation, powered front seats with massage and memory functions, dual-pane panoramic sunroof and a fully-digital instrument cluster.

All-New Design

Stepping into its second generation, the new Skoda Kodiaq offers an all-new design inside and out. Its design cues are in line with the new Superb sedan. While the first gen Kodiaq was sharp and edgy, the new Kodiaq gets a more cohesive design with Skoda’s signature design elements like the radiator grille and crystalline LED headlights and tail lights. On the inside too, the design is more minimalist with minimal physical controls and buttons.

Current Kodiaq To Remain On Sale For 2024

Since the new-gen Kodiaq is still more than a year away, Skoda will continue to sell the current Kodiaq to the end of 2024. The 3-row family SUV will continue to rub its shoulders against the Toyota Fortuner, Jeep Meridian, Mahindra XUV700, Tata Safari and MG Gloster.
