Should I buy the Kodiaq?
The Skoda Kodiaq is known for its comfortable ride quality and strong performance. With the new generation, Skoda has made the vehicle more feature-rich and premium. The engine's performance has been enhanced to deliver a more engaging driving experience. Packed with advanced technology and features, the Kodiaq is a solid choice if you're looking for a three-row premium SUV under ₹50 lakh in India. Its three-row layout offers greater practicality compared to the five-seater SUVs available in the same price range, such as the Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line, BMW X1, and others.
- The new Kodiaq has taken on a rounded, more MPV-ish silhouette, which makes it look quite different when compared to the outgoing car. It has grown in dimensions, now measuring 61mm longer than the outgoing car. However, the new Kodiaq retains the same 2,791mm wheelbase from before.
- The new Kodiaq retains the trademark Skoda grille, but with an interesting twist; it comes with an integrated full-length light bar, which is probably Skoda’s own way of following modern design trends. The headlamp design remains familiar, with the projector placed below the main unit.
- The 18-inch alloy rims look quite stylish, and at the rear, it gets sleek, C-shaped tail lights connected via a light strip. The tailgate also retains the Skoda badge lattering in the middle, typical of other Skoda cars in the lineup.
Kodiaq body specifications:
| Wheel Size | R18 |
| Seating Capacity | 5 & 7 seaters |
| Ground Clearance | 155 mm |
| Boot Space | 281 liters |

- The new Kodiaq retains the familiar 2.0-litre turbo-petrol powertrain, but it has now been updated to produce more power. It now produces 201 bhp and 320Nm of torque, while paired to a 7-speed DSG transmission. The new Kodiaq was already a good performer at high speeds, and we can expect things to improve further.
- The new Kodiaq also comes equipped with a 4x4 system, which should give buyers some confidence in case they want to do some light off-roading. However, buyers must remember not to take their cars to extreme situations and exercise caution.
Kodiaq engine specifications:
| Transmission | Automatic (DSG) |
| Engine | 1984 cc |
| Power | 201.15 bhp @ 4500-6000 rpm |
| Torque | 320 Nm @ 1500 rpm |
| Drive Train | AWD |
- The new Kodiaq comes with a huge change in terms of the interiors and features. It gains a completely new layout, which is similar to that of the new Superb. It gets a dual-tone colour treatment, along with soft-touch treatment, and a 13-inch infotainment screen taking centre stage.
- You will also notice a new dual-spoke steering wheel with the new Skoda lettering, along with a 10-inch instrument cluster, which also comes with an integrated navigation display. Furthermore, you will also notice a column-mounted gear selector stalk placed behind the steering wheel, similar to some high-end cars.
- The base Sportline variant comes with power-adjustable front seats, while the L&K Sportline trim adds heating, ventilation, and massage functions. At the centre, the physical rotary dials for A/C controls will also be noticeable, and they come with an integrated display.
- Some other features include a 13-speaker Canton sound system, a powered tailgate, a 360-degree camera, parking assist, a wireless charging pad with cooling, 9 airbags, and sliding second-row seats, among many other things.
