The SUV’s design highlights include a sculpted bonnet, a bold new hexagonal grille finished in matte dark chrome, and sleek split Matrix LED headlights connected by an LED strip. The redesigned bumper features wide air intakes and a skid plate. ŠKODA has also improved aerodynamics, achieving a drag coefficient of cd = 0.282 for better efficiency.

Both available variants Sportline and L&K (Laurin & Klement) will ride on newly designed 20-inch alloy wheels, giving the SUV a strong and confident stance.
Inside, the Kodiaq’s cabin has been completely redesigned to offer a more premium and sustainable experience. The dashboard features a large free-standing touchscreen infotainment system, complemented by small rotary dials with embedded screens.

Premium touches like Cognac leather interiors and front ergo seats with massage function promise maximum comfort.
Under the hood, the next-generation Kodiaq is powered by a 2.0 TSI petrol engine that delivers 150 kW of power and 320 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission and comes with 4x4 drive capabilities, offering a blend of smooth highway cruising and off-road performance.
