Skoda Kodiaq Exterior
Skoda has recently released additional images of the heavily camouflaged second-generation Kodiaq. Based on what can be discerned, it appears that the design of the new model is more of an evolution rather than a complete redesign. The SUV retains its distinctive butterfly-shaped grille, albeit slightly larger than before. It is accompanied by LED headlights featuring integrated LED daytime running lights (DRLs). And a revamped front bumper housing the ADAS radar at its center.
The upcoming second-generation Kodiaq SUV is 61mm longer compared to the current-generation model. This increase in length provides additional space and enhances the overall proportions of the vehicle slightly. The luggage capacity of the new Kodiaq will vary depending on the chosen variant, with the maximum capacity reaching up to 910 liters. Customers will have the option to select either a 5-seater or 7-seater layout, catering to their specific seating requirements and preferences.
Skoda Kodiaq Interior
While Skoda has not yet disclosed the complete feature set of the new Kodiaq, they have revealed some notable equipment. This includes a touchscreen display ranging up to 12.9 inches in size, a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, an optional heads-up display, and remote parking assist. Among the newly introduced features is a dual phone box in the second row, which is cooled and allows for the simultaneous wireless charging of two smartphones at 15W. Additionally, the phone box will include a cleaner specifically designed for the touchscreen displays. Skoda has also made environmentally conscious choices, with the umbrella and ice-scraper being crafted from sustainable materials.

Skoda might bring Kodiaq to India as it is quite well recieved. Although it might come with a premium over the outgoing model which is priced between Rs 37.99 lakh to Rs 41.39 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
