The Skoda Kodiaq 2025 arrives with a complete design overhaul, offering a more angular, modern, and muscular look. It features a wider grille, sleek LED matrix headlights, and a more sculpted bonnet. The SUV is now longer and more spacious, with improved aerodynamics and road presence. Skoda’s signature Crystalline lighting and sharp shoulder lines make it a true premium head-turner.
Powerful Petrol & Plug-In Hybrid Engines
Globally, the new Kodiaq is offered with:
- A 2.0L turbo-petrol engine (with DSG and AWD)
- A 1.5L TSI plug-in hybrid with 204 hp and over 100 km electric-only range
The India-spec model is expected to come with the 2.0L TSI petrol engine, producing around 190 hp, paired with a 7-speed DSG automatic. It offers punchy performance along with decent fuel efficiency.
Premium Cabin with Advanced Digital Tech
Inside, the 2025 Kodiaq features a 13-inch touchscreen, 10.25-inch digital driver display, shift-by-wire gear selector, three-zone climate control, and electrically adjustable ventilated front seats. The use of sustainable materials, ambient lighting, massive boot space, and up to 7 seats make it both eco-conscious and family-friendly.
ADAS, 9 Airbags & Safety-Focused Build
The Kodiaq comes equipped with Level 2 ADAS features, including adaptive cruise control, lane assist, blind spot monitoring, and emergency braking. Standard safety includes 9 airbags, front and rear parking sensors, 360-degree camera, TPMS, and a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating.
India Launch Timeline & Expected Price
Skoda has confirmed that the all-new Kodiaq will launch in India in early 2025, likely via CKD route to keep pricing competitive. Expected pricing will be around ₹40–45 lakh (ex-showroom). It will rival Toyota Fortuner, MG Gloster, and Jeep Meridian in the premium 7-seater segment.
Conclusion: The Skoda Kodiaq 2025 is a tech-loaded, family-friendly luxury SUV that blends bold design with hybrid efficiency and European safety standards. With its India launch expected soon, it could be a top choice for premium SUV buyers looking beyond the Fortuner.
