HYDERABAD, MAY 18, 2025: Škoda Auto India, marking 25 years in India and 130 years globally is continuing celebrations with the launch of the all-new generation of its luxury 4×4, the Kodiaq at PPS Motors Škoda Showroom at Kondapur, Hyderabad. The year 2025 opened the doors to the New Era for Škoda Auto in India with the launch of its first-ever sub-4m SUV, the Kylaq. The landmark year also sees the brand continue on its premium portfolio with the launch of the latest Kodiaq luxury 4×4 in India. In its second generation in India and internationally, the brand-new Kodiaq arrives in India with its signature blend of luxury, refinement, off-road ability, on-road dynamics and seven-seat versatility.
Petr Janeba, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India, shares, “In March, we recorded our biggest ever monthly sales in India, driven by the Kylaq launch, and supported by the Kushaq and Slavia. This is one of many new records we aim to set this year. In line with our product offensive strategy, the launch of the all-new Kodiaq showcases the other end of our product spectrum with Škoda’s luxury and technology prowess. The Kodiaq has now grown to be an important legacy name for us, like the Octavia and Superb. The Kodiaq offers the ultimate luxury and handling for city roads and also packs in versatile all-terrain capabilities.”
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Rajiv Sanghvi, Managing Director, PPS Motors, said, We are excited to introduce the all-new Škoda Kodiaq, one of the most eagerly awaited premium SUVs from Škoda. Engineered to deliver an exceptional driving experience, the new Kodiaq seamlessly blends cutting-edge technology, premium features, and a bold, dynamic design. With this launch, we are confident of further strengthening PPS Škoda’s position in the premium SUV segment. We are truly encouraged by the enthusiastic response the new Kodiaq has received and would like to express our sincere gratitude to our customers for their continued trust and overwhelming response
At the heart of the Kodiaq
Škoda Auto’s premier 4×4 is powered by a 2.0 TSI engine making 150 kW and 320Nm of torque. This power and torque is distributed to both axles through a seven-speed dual-clutch DSG automatic. It is based on the MQB37 platform and is available in the Sportline and Selection L&K variants, with both offering seven seats. Assembled in India at the brand’s facility in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, the Kodiaq has been rated to provide fuel efficiency of 14.86 km/l by ARAI.
Measuring up the Kodiaq
The all-new generation of the Kodiaq is 59mm longer than its previous generation. It has a length of 4,758mm and height of 1,679mm. It is 1,864mm wide and has a wheelbase of 2,791mm. Fully laden, the all-new Kodiaq stands 155mm off the ground. The three-row luxury 4×4, like before, offers a lot of luggage capacity in its versatile interior. With all three seats up, the Kodiaq offers 281 litres of luggage space. With the third-row seats folded to the floor, this luxury SUV can carry 786 litres of luggage, and with both the rear rows down, the Kodiaq affords a cavernous carrying capacity of 1,976 litres.
Inside out
The new Škoda Kodiaq continues its tradition of refined luxury with two distinct interior themes, an all-black sporty décor for the Sportline variant and premium Cognac leather upholstery in the Selection L&K trim. Elevating the cabin’s technology and convenience, it now features a 32.77-cm infotainment system, along with multi-function Smart Dials equipped with tactile rotary knobs and screens allowing seamless control over HVAC, seat ventilation, audio settings and drive modes. Ergonomic enhancements include a newly positioned gear-selector behind the steering wheel for improved accessibility and a tablet holder for rear-seat passengers, adding to their convenience.
The luxury quotient is further amplified with Ergo front seats that offer advanced pneumatic massage function, ensuring superior comfort and spine support. The inclusion of an acoustic package with acoustic front-side windows helps in reducing exterior noise, creating a serene and premium driving experience. Safety and comfort are paramount, with 9 airbags, a sliding panoramic sunroof, and a 725W Canton sound system with 13 speakers and a subwoofer for an immersive audio experience. Additionally, rolling sunblinds in the rear windows further enhance privacy and passenger comfort.
Bold Exterior
The Škoda Kodiaq stands out with its all-new design and premium styling elements. The LED Beam Crystallinium headlamps now feature a Welcome Effect, adding a touch of sophistication upon unlocking this luxury 4×4. The Selection L&K trim exudes elegance with Dark Chrome accents, while the Sportline variant embraces a sportier persona with Glossy Black highlights. Enhancing its road presence, the Kodiaq sports a front grille with an integrated horizontal light strip, creating a striking visual identity, while a red strip connecting the tail lamps further accentuates the SUV’s width, ensuring a distinctive and commanding presence on the road.
The all-new Kodiaq is available in six colour options: Moon White, Magic Black, Graphite Grey, Velvet Red, Race Blue. The Selection L&K gets an exclusive Bronx Gold and the Sportline gets an exclusive Steel Grey.
Driving luxury from ownership to maintenance
Škoda Auto India will also be offering some delectable ownership and maintenance solutions for Kodiaq owners. This Škoda flagship will offer a standard warranty of 5-year/125,000 km – whichever comes earlier. There is also a 10-year complimentary roadside assistance on offer with this luxury 4×4. Bringing service costs down further is Škoda Supercare, a standard maintenance package, which is available at no cost to the customer for the first year.
