Skoda Auto India has formally started shipping its brand new Skoda Kodiaq SUV to dealerships around India. Recently launched earlier this year, the new Kodiaq is now available for test rides and purchase along with over 280 Skoda dealerships across India. The new Kodiaq will continue to add to the growing portfolio of premium SUVs available for the brand.
At a starting price of ₹46.89 lakh (ex-showroom before taxes), the new generation Kodiaq will define luxury, performance, and family comfort in the 7-seater SUV segment.
Performance and Powertrain Highlights
The new Kodiaq features a 2.0-litre TSI petrol engine, providing a rapid and competent performance for your daily journeys and your weekend escapes.
Engine Specifications:
- Power Output: 150 kW
- Torque: 320 Nm
- Transmission: 7-speed DSG (dual-clutch automatic)
- Drivetrain: 4x4 all-wheel-drive system
- Fuel Efficiency: 14.86 km/l (ARAI certified)
An emphasis on performance means you would never know the Kodiaq's capabilities, with the driving experience remaining smooth, responsive and controlled; it makes sense for an SUV that can be as comfortable on a Saturday morning drive to the city, as it is on a Sunday morning excursion into the remote.
Expanding Skoda’s SUV Portfolio
With the launch of the Kodiaq, Skoda India strengthens its SUV lineup, which now includes:
Skoda Kushaq – a compact SUV known for urban agility
Skoda Kylaq – a newly launched mid-size option
Skoda Kodiaq – the flagship 7-seater luxury SUV
This strategic expansion reinforces Skoda’s commitment to the growing SUV demand in India.
