The all-new Skoda Kodiaq 2025 is here, and it’s bigger, smarter, and more refined than ever. With a bold design language, a powerful petrol engine, and tech-packed interiors, the second-gen Kodiaq positions itself as a serious contender in India’s premium SUV space. While it’s nearly flawless, a few small misses may leave enthusiasts wanting more.
Imposing Design with Subtle Elegance
The 2025 Kodiaq retains its signature butch appeal but gets sharper lines, slimmer LED headlamps, and a more upright grille that gives it road dominance. The rear features a connected LED light bar and wider stance. Riding on new 19-inch alloys, the SUV feels more planted. Though the design tweaks are evolutionary, they lend a cleaner, modern aesthetic that will surely turn heads.
Premium Interiors with Smart Features
Step inside and you’re welcomed by a tech-forward cabin featuring twin 10.25-inch digital displays, a new rotary climate control panel, soft-touch materials, and a clean dashboard layout. Ventilated front seats, 3-zone climate control, panoramic sunroof, 12-speaker Canton audio system, and ambient lighting make the Kodiaq feel every bit premium. The second row is spacious and the third row is usable for short journeys making it a legit 7-seater option.
Turbocharged Petrol Power with DSG Smoothness
Under the hood is a 2.0L TSI turbo-petrol engine churning out 204hp and 320Nm, paired with a 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox and 4×4 system. It delivers confident highway cruising, brisk acceleration, and refined NVH levels. However, the absence of a diesel engine option may disappoint some long-distance users.
Safety & Tech That Raise the Bar
Safety is top-notch with 9 airbags, lane assist, adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, and Level 2 ADAS expected in the India-spec version. Skoda has also improved cabin insulation and ride comfort, making this SUV suitable for both daily commutes and family road trips.
Expected Price in India
The expected price of Skoda Kodiaq 2025 in India will likely start from ₹42 lakhs (ex-showroom) and may go up to ₹48 lakhs for the top variant. It will compete with Toyota Fortuner, Jeep Meridian, and Hyundai Tucson in the premium full-size SUV category.
Conclusion: The 2025 Skoda Kodiaq delivers an almost perfect balance of power, comfort, tech, and design. While the lack of a diesel option might be a dealbreaker for some, it still stands out as one of the most complete premium 7-seater SUVs in the Indian market.
