Skoda Auto India is set to launch the second-generation Skoda Kodiaq in India by April 2025. The new Kodiaq, showcased at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025, is expected to come with significant updates in design, technology, and performance.
The 2025 Skoda Kodiaq will be powered by a 2.0-liter TSI turbo-petrol engine that produces 190 hp and 320 Nm of torque. This engine will be paired with a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission. The new Kodiaq will also feature Skoda’s Dynamic Chassis Control and an all-wheel-drive (AWD) option to maintain stability during diverse driving conditions.
The SUV will be available in two trims – Sportline and Laurin & Klement (L&K), with the sportier Kodiaq RS expected to enter the Indian market by the end of 2025.
Inside, the Kodiaq boasts a three-row cabin with major improvements, including a 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10-inch digital driver display, and a toggle-type gear selector placed on the steering column. Additional features include a panoramic sunroof, ventilated and heated front seats, ambient lighting, a powered tailgate, and a premium music system. The SUV utilizes a new MQB Evo platform, making it 59 mm larger than its predecessor.
