Škoda Auto presents the second generation of the Kodiaq, taking sustainability, spaciousness and safety to a new level. The Czech car manufacturer’s SUV flagship has seen its dimensions increased once again and now features the first elements of the Modern Solid design language. The all-new Kodiaq comes with state-of-the-art infotainment systems including a 13-inch screen and an optional head-up display. Innovative Škoda Smart Dials with haptic controls and a 10.25-inch Virtual Cockpit come as standard.
All-new Škoda Kodiaq: Spacious, functional and sustainable

Second generation offers new design, greater sustainability and new technologies
On the exterior, the cutting-edge second-generation LED Matrix beam headlights and the front grille featuring a horizontal light strip immediately catch the eye, while in the interior, recycled textiles and leather originating from an eco-friendly tanning process reflect the focus on sustainability. In addition to the new range structure with specific Design Selections and optional packages, the Kodiaq also features a new interior concept. The infotainment display is now free-standing, with a screen diagonal of 13 inches. A head-up display is optionally available for the first time. The gear selector lever is now mounted on the steering column, which lends the centre console a very clean and tidy look while adding extra space. The Škoda Smart Dials are another brand-new feature in the all-new Kodiaq – three rotary controls positioned below the infotainment screen. Combining haptic controls with a 32 millimetre colour display, they provide intuitive, easy and customisable access to various vehicle and infotainment functions. With the integration of the AI-based chatbot ChatGPT into its Laura voice assistant, Škoda is enhancing the in-vehicle experience of many customers and helping to make everyday life easier. The new ventilated Phone Box enables inductive charging of two smartphones at the same time, delivering 15 W of power.
Premiere for plug-in hybrid with an electric range of more than 62 miles
The new Kodiaq is available with two diesel and two petrol engines delivering outputs from 150 PS (110 kW) to 204 PS (150 kW). A new addition to the range is the Kodiaq iV fitted with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. It offers a system power output of 204 PS (150 kW) and an all electric range of more than 62 miles (100 kilometres). On top of that the 1.5 TSI with 150 PS (110 kW) marks the debut of mild-hybrid technology in the Kodiaq. The range-topping 2.0 TSI with 204 PS (150 kW) and 2.0 TDI with 193 PS (142 kW) come with all-wheel drive as standard. The powertrains in the new Kodiaq are always mated to a DSG automatic transmission.
