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.
