Skoda Auto has showcased the second-generation Kodiaq in India at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo. Slated to launch in May 2025, this is the successor to the outgoing model of the Kodiaq, which has been on sale here for over seven years. Offered in both five and seven-seat formats in the global market, Skoda will only sell the seven-seat iteration in India. The second generation Kodiaq was unveiled in the global market in October 2023, with larger dimensions than its predecessor, offering more interior space, with a sharper focus on in-cabin tech.

Visually, the new Kodiaq is visibly longer than its predecessor, measuring 4,758 mm in length (61 mm longer than its predecessor), but remains unchanged in other dimensions. Sporting Skoda’s new ‘Modern Solid’ design language, the new Kodiaq features a more rounded design with softer lines. The fascia gets a quad headlamp setup, where the upper headlamp clusters merge with a larger version of Skoda’s signature butterfly grille, while the lower clusters are situated below, separated by body paint. Towards the rear, the SUV gets a more sharply angled quarter glass, with the lower area of the D-pillar having a sharp upward kink. The next-gen Kodiaq features C-shaped wraparound tail lamps with Skoda lettering in the centre.

On the inside, the Kodiaq’s cabin features a 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system that incorporates most cabin controls, along with a 10-inch ‘Virtual Cockpit’ digital instruments display. The gear selector for the automatic transmission has been moved from the centre console to behind the steering wheel, creating additional storage space.
