The Skoda Kodiaq 2025 has been officially revealed, showcasing a bold new design language, upgraded technology, and the introduction of hybrid powertrains. The all-new Kodiaq builds on its reputation as a practical 7-seater SUV and evolves into a more luxurious and eco-conscious family mover. With a longer body, smarter interior, and electrified options, this new Kodiaq is more than just a facelift — it’s a full generational leap.
Bold Exterior Redesign with Crystalline Styling
The 2025 Kodiaq adopts Skoda’s new Modern Solid design language, featuring a sharper front grille, full LED matrix headlamps, a sculpted bonnet, and a cleaner, more aerodynamic profile. The rear gets a sleek LED light bar stretching across the tailgate, enhancing the SUV’s width visually. The overall design is more muscular yet sophisticated, with better airflow management and a strong stance on 19- or 20-inch alloys.
Bigger Dimensions and More Interior Space
The new Kodiaq is now longer than the outgoing model, offering more cabin space, improved third-row legroom, and larger boot capacity. The second row is now equipped with sliding seats and multiple backrest angles for added flexibility. The overall ergonomics and ride quality make it even more appealing for long-distance travel with large families.
Hybrid and Petrol Engine Options with AWD
Skoda has introduced new engine options, including a 1.5L mild-hybrid turbo petrol and a 2.0L plug-in hybrid that delivers up to 204 HP and an electric-only range of around 100 km. A 2.0L turbo petrol with all-wheel drive will also be available for performance lovers. The new Kodiaq offers smoother gear shifts via a DSG transmission, and better ride comfort thanks to retuned suspension and dynamic chassis control.
Tech-Loaded Interior with Digital First Approach
The cabin now features a 13-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch digital cockpit, and touch-based climate controls with haptic feedback. A new gear selector mounted on the steering column frees up console space. Premium trims include wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a panoramic sunroof, 15W wireless charging, ambient lighting, and ventilated seats.
Next-Level Safety and Driver Assistance
Safety has been elevated in the 2025 Kodiaq with ADAS Level 2 features, including lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, and blind spot detection. The SUV is expected to get a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, maintaining Skoda’s strong record in structural safety and protection.
Launch Timeline and Expected Price in India
The 2025 Skoda Kodiaq is expected to launch in India by early 2025, likely via CKD (Completely Knocked Down) assembly. The price is expected to start from ₹42 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base trim and go up to ₹50 lakh for the top-spec hybrid variants. It will compete with the Toyota Fortuner, MG Gloster, Jeep Meridian, and Hyundai Tucson AWD.
Final Verdict
The Skoda Kodiaq 2025 is a significant upgrade over its predecessor, offering a more premium design, flexible seating, hybrid efficiency, and next-gen tech. It stays true to its roots as a practical 7-seater but now appeals more strongly to luxury SUV buyers looking for value, refinement, and future-ready performance in one package.
