The brand-new Kodiaq, built on Volkswagen Group's adaptable MQB platform, comes in two options: one that seats five and another for seven. It has a fresh design with smoother edges, though it still looks boxy. It stands taller, which makes it seem more imposing.

Up front, there's the well-known Skoda grille, painted black, and surrounded by modern LED headlights. The front also has a shapely hood and a redesigned bumper with slim, upright fog lights. Around the back, you'll notice wider C-shaped LED taillights that reach towards the centre, and they're connected by a standout red bar. You can even opt for a special Dark Chrome finish on the D-pillar. And, depending on your preference, you can choose alloy wheels ranging from 17 to 20 inches in size.
