India-bound 2nd-gen Skoda Kodiaq unveiled

The 2024 Kodiaq is available with a choice of petrol and diesel engines. The SUV also gets a plug-in hybrid version for the first time.

Skoda has finally taken the wraps off the second-generation Kodiaq. The SUV will go on sale in Europe before making its way into the Indian market sometime next year.

The 2024 Skoda Kodiaq is based on the MQB platform. It measures 4.75 meters in length, 61 mm more than the outgoing model, while its wheelbase and width remain unchanged.

The exterior design of the new Kodiaq is an evolution of the previous generation model. The SUV gets a revised grille and LED headlamps up front and reworked LED tail lights at the back connected by an LED light bar.

The interiors have also been given a makeover. The Kodiaq gets a dual-tone dashboard with a 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system in the centre. The SUV features Skoda’s latest 2-spoke steering wheel and a 10-inch digital instrument cluster. It comes in 5 & 7-seater configurations and is equipped with ADAS.

The 2024 Kodiaq is available with a choice of petrol and diesel engines. These include a 1.5-litre TSI mild-hybrid, a 2.0-litre TSI 4WD and a 2.0-litre TDI that will come in two states of tune.

Additionally, Skoda is also offering a PHEV version for the first time. It uses the 1.5-litre TSI engine paired with a 25.7 kWh battery offering an electric-only range of over 100 km.
