Skoda is gearing up to start its new year in India with the launch of the new Kodiaq. And ahead of its launch, the carmaker has uncovered details of the exterior and interior of the India-bound Kodiaq. That said, Skoda had already commenced assembling the SUV at its Aurangabad plant in Maharashtra.
The facelift has brought bold styling to the Kodiaq. It gets a redesigned face, new wheels, new bumpers and tweaked rear lights with dynamic turn signals. Moreover, Skoda has given Crystalline LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, headlamp washer, dual-tone alloy wheels, silver roof rails and keyless entry with four request sensors. In addition, the SUV will also get an electric boot opening with a hands-free function.
The refreshed cabin comes equipped with a new steering wheel, a ten-inch fully-digital instrument cluster, an eight-inch infotainment touchscreen, three-zone temperature control with Air Care function, a 12-speaker, 625-watt, Canton sound system, twelve-way electronically controlled front seats with three memory settings, heated and ventilated functions for the front seats and a panoramic sunroof.
Skoda will bring the new Kodiaq to India with a petrol powertrain. There is very likely to be a 2-0-litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged petrol motor mated to an automatic transmission. Meanwhile, it will compete against the Volkswagen Tiguan, Citroen C5 Aircross, Hyundai Tucson, and the Jeep Compass.
