Skoda Kodiaq Scout launch on September 30, 2019

Skoda has announced that it will launch the Kodiaq Scout in India on September 30, 2019.

The Kodiaq Scout is a more off-road focused version of the Kodiaq that is on sale in India at present. It is expected to get a more rugged exterior with black plastic cladding and bumpers with silver inserts on the lower edge. The Kodiaq Scout could be offered with 19-inch alloy wheels and roof rails and ORVMs finished in silver.

In terms of features, the Kodiaq Scout is likely to get a 9.2-inch touchscreen infotainment head-unit and a digital instrument cluster. It could get new dashboard trim and seat upholstery with Scout logos.

The Kodiaq Scout is expected to be powered by the same 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine that powers the regular Kodiaq. It produces 148 BHP and 340 Nm of torque and is paired with a 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox. The SUV is likely to be equipped with all-wheel drive and an off-road mode.
