What’s New?

Skoda Kodiaq

The 2023 version of Skoda's flagship 7-seater SUV features similar design and cabin layout. Skoda has also added a few more ‘Simply Clever’ features to the Kodiaq, such as the door edge protector, which automatically comes out when the doors open to protect the edges from  scratches. Also, to improve the aerodynamic efficiency of the SUV, the rear spoiler on the Kodiaq has now been provided with finlets to help with the airflow. At last, Skoda has also added lounge steps to enhance the comfort of the second-row passengers.

No Other Feature Changes
