2025 Skoda Kodiaq Launches in India: Here's What to Expect!
The 2025 Skoda Kodiaq is here; longer, sleeker, and smarter. Launching April 17, it brings premium design, seven-seat comfort, and cutting-edge tech to India’s SUV scene, ready to challenge top rivals.
Hold onto your steering wheels, car fans! The 2025 Skoda Kodiaq is speeding into India, April 17, 2025, and it’s bringing a bold new look to the 7 seater SUV scene. Fresh off its debut at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo, this upgraded ride blends sharp design, family-friendly space, and cutting-edge tech. Let’s break down what makes this launch a big deal for India’s premium SUV market.
Skoda Auto India is rolling out the next-generation Kodiaq, a 4.75-meter beast that’s 61mm longer than its predecessor. Its sleeker profile and improved aerodynamics (drag coefficient of 0.282) promise better fuel efficiency and a smoother drive. Available in Sport Line and L&K trims, it’s priced around Rs 40 lakh (ex-showroom), ready to take on rivals like the Toyota Fortuner, Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line, and MG Gloster.

The Kodiaq’s exterior screams modern style with a redesigned hexagonal grille, split LED headlights, and 18-inch alloy wheels. A new tailgate, extended roof spoiler, and dark chrome D-pillar accents add flair. Inside, it’s all about comfort and tech: a 13.5-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 10-inch digital cluster, and a Head-Up Display. Recycled polyester upholstery shows Skoda’s green side, while practical touches like door-mounted umbrella storage keep it quirky.
Under the hood, the Kodiaq sticks with a proven 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine, pumping out 190 PS and 320 Nm, paired with a 7-speed DSG gearbox and all-wheel drive. No mechanical changes here, but this setup delivers reliable performance for city commutes or highway hauls.
This launch matters because it positions Skoda as a serious player in India’s growing luxury SUV segment. With seven seats, it’s perfect for families, yet its tech-heavy cabin and sporty design appeal to buyers wanting premium vibes. The Kodiaq’s blend of functionality and flair makes it a standout choice.
