The second-generation Skoda Kodiaq will launch just three months after its India premiere. Petr Janeba, Brand Director of Skoda Auto India, said during the Octavia RS drive event that updated Kodiaq prices will be announced in April. The SUV will be available in two trim levels: Sportline and Laurin & Klement (L&K).
Skoda Kodiaq 2025: Exterior
Different styling ideas will be used for the 2025 Skoda Kodiaq Sportline and L&K trims. On the Sportline trim, chrome will be replaced with blacked-out parts on the grille, ORVMs, D-pillars, and other exterior details. It will also have a special set of metal wheels that will give it a sportier look. On the other hand, the L&K trim will keep Skoda’s elegant design elements and signature luxury chrome accents.

Skoda Kodiaq 2025: Interior and Features
Inside the Kodiaq Sportline, blacked-out trim pieces, darker upholstery, and subtle sporty accents are expected to reflect its exterior appearance. Meanwhile, the L&K trim will focus on a premium feel, likely featuring lighter upholstery, wood or brushed metal accents, and other luxury elements. Though Skoda has not yet revealed complete details, differences in tech and amenities between the two trim levels are expected.
Skoda Kodiaq 2025: Engine and Powertrain
With its reliable 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, the second-generation Skoda Kodiaq produces 190hp and 320Nm of torque. A 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox efficiently distributes power to all four wheels, ensuring strong performance and traction across various terrains.
Skoda has also announced that by late 2025, the high-performance Kodiaq RS will arrive as a fully imported CBU. Equipped with a more powerful 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, this sportier model will produce 265hp and 400Nm of torque. Larger brakes, a more aggressive exterior, and an upgraded interior to complement its dynamic capability are expected.
Pricing
The Kodiaq RS will be imported as a CBU, making it significantly more expensive, whereas the Sportline and L&K trims will be locally produced. Skoda will announce official pricing and variant-specific features closer to the April launch.
