Good news for SUV lovers – the 2025 Škoda Kodiaq has officially been launched in India! It’s bigger, bolder, and packed with more features than ever before. If you’ve been waiting for a premium 7-seater SUV that combines style, performance, and comfort, the new Kodiaq might just be the one for you.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s new in this latest version.
A Premium SUV That Looks Sharp
The 2025 Škoda Kodiaq has been given a fresh and modern makeover. At first glance, you’ll notice the bold front grille and sharp LED headlights. The design is cleaner, more muscular, and definitely more eye-catching. The rear also gets sleeker tail lamps and a refreshed bumper design, which gives the SUV a solid road presence.
Whether you’re looking at it from the front, side, or back – the new Kodiaq looks impressive.
Engine & Performance: Powerful Yet Smooth
Under the hood, the Kodiaq gets a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine that delivers 204 PS of power and 320 Nm of torque. It’s mated to a 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox, and the best part – you get All-Wheel Drive (AWD) as standard.
This means whether you’re driving on smooth highways or rougher roads, the Kodiaq will give you a confident and stable ride. It’s quick, responsive, and perfect for long drives with your family or friends.
Comfortable and Spacious Interiors
Step inside the new Kodiaq, and you’ll immediately notice the premium quality. The dashboard has a neat, layered design with soft-touch materials and leather upholstery. It feels like a luxury car inside.
The SUV offers three rows of seats, which means it can comfortably seat up to seven people. The middle row has plenty of legroom, and while the third row is more suited for kids or shorter adults, it can still come in handy on family trips. And when you need more luggage space, you can simply fold the last row down.
Loaded with Features
Škoda hasn’t held back when it comes to features. Here’s what you get in the new Kodiaq:
- A large 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- 10.25-inch digital driver display
- Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- A high-quality Canton sound system with 14 speakers
- Panoramic sunroof
- Powered and ventilated front seats
- 360-degree camera for parking
- Multiple USB-C charging ports
- 9 airbags and advanced safety systems
- ADAS features like Emergency Braking and Lane Assist
In short, the Kodiaq is fully equipped with modern technology and safety features that make driving easier and safer.
Price and Variants
All this progress comes at a cost. The 2025 Kodiaq is priced from around ₹46.89 – 48.69 lakh (ex-showroom), making it significantly more expensive than its predecessor and positioning it at the upper end of the segment. This places it in direct competition with the Toyota Fortuner, Volkswagen Tiguan, and Jeep Meridian, as well as entry-level luxury SUVs like the BMW X1.
While the price may give some buyers pause, the Kodiaq justifies its premium with a richer feature set, more space, and a refined driving experience.
How It Stands Against the Competition
In India, the Kodiaq goes up against SUVs like:
- Toyota Fortuner
- Jeep Meridian
- MG Gloster
- Volkswagen Tiguan
- Hyundai Tucson
Compared to these, the Kodiaq offers a more premium feel inside and more advanced features. While others may have diesel options or different strengths, the Kodiaq shines when it comes to overall quality, driving comfort, and safety.
Final Thoughts – Is It Worth Buying?
If you’re someone who values comfort, safety, and a touch of luxury in your everyday drive, the new Kodiaq is definitely worth checking out. It may not be the cheapest 7-seater SUV out there, but it offers excellent value for what it brings to the table.
Škoda has once again proven that it knows how to build a vehicle that feels solid, drives well, and looks great.
So if you’re in the market for a family-friendly, feature-loaded SUV – the 2025 Škoda Kodiaq should be on your shortlist.
