Skoda’s dropping the 2025 Kodiaq tomorrow, and it’s ready to shake up the full-size SUV scene!
Available in two awesome variants—Sportline and Selection L&K—this beast comes with a sharper look, loaded features, and a punchy turbo engine.
Here’s the lowdown on what makes the new Kodiaq a total vibe.
Sleek and Stylish Design
The 2025 Kodiaq is all about that modern, head-turning style. Think sleek LED headlights, connected LED taillights, and Skoda’s iconic butterfly grille. The Sportline variant rocks blacked-out accents for a sporty edge, while the Selection L&K adds chrome and silver touches for a luxe feel.
Top models even get a cool light bar up front. Rolling on 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels (different designs per variant), this SUV screams class.
You’ve got six monotone color options to pick from, with five standard shades and one exclusive hue per variant:
Sportline: Velvet Red, Graphite Grey, Moon White, Magic Black, Race Blue, Bronx Gold (exclusive).
Selection L&K: Velvet Red, Graphite Grey, Moon White, Magic Black, Race Blue, Steel Grey (exclusive).
Premium Cabin with Smart Features
Step inside, and the Kodiaq’s cabin is straight-up plush. A layered dashboard, soft-touch materials, and leatherette upholstery make it feel high-end. The Sportline keeps it sleek with an all-black theme, while the Selection L&K mixes black and tan with a white headliner for extra swank. A massive panoramic sunroof makes the space feel open and airy.
The star of the show? - A 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Plus, you get a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, three-zone auto AC, a wireless charger, and powered front seats with ventilation, heating, and massage functions.
Oh, and a 13-speaker Canton sound system for those road-trip playlists. Skoda’s “Smart Dials” (knobs for AC and infotainment) keep things user-friendly, so you’re not stuck fumbling with touch controls.
Storage is plentiful, and there’s multi-color ambient lighting to set the mood. It’s a cabin that’s as practical as it is posh.
Top-Notch Safety
Safety’s a big deal here. The Kodiaq comes loaded with 9 airbags (standard across variants), a 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, electronic stability control (ESC), hill start assist, hill descent control, and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
ISOFIX child seat mounts and a park assist system round out the package. One bummer? No advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) for 2025, but the safety suite is still rock-solid.
Power-Packed Performance
Under the hood, the Kodiaq keeps it simple with one engine option for both variants—a 2-litre turbo-petrol that’s been tuned for extra grunt. It now pumps out 204 PS (up 14 PS from before) and 320 Nm of torque.
Paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) and all-wheel drive (AWD), it’s built for smooth cruises and off-road adventures. Plus, it sips fuel at a claimed 14.86 kmpl—pretty solid for a big SUV.

Price and Rivals
The 2025 Kodiaq is locally assembled, so Skoda’s keeping it competitive with an expected starting price of Rs 45 lakh (ex-showroom, pan-India). It’s going head-to-head with heavyweights like the Toyota Fortuner, Jeep Meridian, MG Gloster, and the upcoming MG Majestor. For the price, the Kodiaq’s mix of style, tech, and power makes it a serious contender.
To summarize, the 2025 Skoda Kodiaq is a full-size SUV that blends bold looks, a fancy cabin, and a punchy engine. Whether you’re into the sporty Sportline or the upscale Selection L&K, it’s got something for everyone. Stay tuned for the big launch tomorrow, and get ready to hit the road in style!
