Zac Hollis, Skoda’s Director has uncovered that they will dispatch the facelift of Kodiaq in January 2022. The SUV has as of now been seen in India with no cover and Skoda has effectively dispatched the new Kodiaq in the global market. The creation of the Kodiaq will begin in December this year.

Kodiaq will come to India as a CKD or Completely Knocked Down unit. The prices of the Kodiaq are expected to start from somewhere around Rs. 34 lakhs ex-showroom. Skoda Kodiaq will compete against Volkswagen Tiguan, MG Gloster, Toyota Fortuner and the upcoming Jeep Meridian.


Kodiaq will presently be offered uniquely with a petroleum motor. It will be a turbocharged, four-chamber unit with a limit of 2.0-liters. The motor can deliver 190 PS of max power and 320 Nm of pinnacle force. It comes mated to a 7 speed DSG double grip programmed gearbox that drives all the four wheels.

This is the same engine that is doing duty on Skoda Octavia, Volkswagen Tiguan AllSpace, Skoda Superb and Audi Q2.

Design

Skoda has made subtle changes to the design of the Kodiaq. It now looks more sleeker and premium. There are new slimmer LED headlamps with LED Daytime Running Lamps and a sleeker grille. The headlamps now also get Matrix technology so there are individual LEDs that can turn off and black out the part from where the oncoming traffic is coming. This will not make the oncoming driver dazzle. The fog lamps now use LED elements which are better than halogen units.

There are strong but simple shoulder lines and an elevated front bonnet. The front and rear bumpers have also been revised and there are new LED tail lamps which are also slimmer. There are new alloy wheels that measure 20-inches in size. However, in India we will get smaller alloy wheels because roads of India are filled with potholes that can damage such large alloy wheels. Moreover, smaller wheels have better ride quality.
