Skoda has announced the launch of the Kodiaq for the 2023 model year in India. The SUV is available in three variants: Style, Sportline and L&K, with prices starting at Rs 37.99 lakh (ex-showroom).
The 2023 Skoda Kodiaq looks identical to the outgoing version, except for a few minor additions like door-edge protectors and a revised rear spoiler.
The interior of the Kodiaq hasn't changed much either. It comes with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster on higher variants. Rear passengers get a lounge step, 12-way power-adjustable front seats with cooling and heating functions and outer headrests in the 2nd row.
The 2023 Kodiaq is powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine that has been upgraded to comply with BS6 Phase-2 emission norms. The engine makes 188 BHP and 320 Nm and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Skoda claims the upgraded engine is 4.2% more fuel efficient than before.
Skoda has also increased the allocation of the Kodaiq 4x4 for the Indian market. The carmaker will now ship 750 units per quarter and aims to sell 3,000 units this year.
