Skoda Auto India is all geared up to launch the next-generation Kodiaq SUV later this week. Just before the big price reveal, the full list of variant-wise features has surfaced, giving us a detailed look at what to expect from this premium 7-seater SUV. The 2025 Kodiaq comes packed with new tech, upgraded interiors, and a powerful petrol engine across both variants – Sportline and L&K.
Engine
Under the hood, the new Kodiaq is powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine. It churns out 201bhp and 320Nm of torque, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. And yes, a 4×4 system is standard across both trims, making it adventure-ready and city-slick at the same time. While we already know it’s efficient, Skoda has confirmed the official mileage figures on their website.
