New Škoda Kodiaq Review: Full-size Family SUV

New Škoda Kodiaq Review: Full-size Family SUV

The Hindu
Monday, April 21, 2025 12:01 PM GMT

The Skoda Kodiaq: A luxurious, spacious SUV with refined design, powerful engine, and high-end features, but lacks ADAS technology.

In the world of full-size SUVs, where space meets sophistication, the new Škoda Kodiaq makes a compelling case for itself. Now longer, sleeker, and richer in detail, this second-generation model has evolved beyond just size—it feels like Škoda has truly gone upmarket, blurring the line between premium mass market and entry-level luxury.

The Skoda Kodiaq’s design language has matured. Its sculpted bonnet flows gracefully into a bolder octagonal grille, now finished in an elegant Dark Chrome that extends to the D-pillar and Škoda lettering on the tailgate. A horizontal light strip bisects the redesigned grille, offering a visual signature that glows distinctly at night. Adding to the drama are new second-gen LED beam headlights featuring a coloured crystalline element that will delight those with an eye for detail.

At the rear, the full-width decorative strip connects sharply contoured C-shaped LED tail lamps. The large tailgate and bumper, now even more defined with a wide diffuser, lend it a stately posture. A new Bronx Gold Metallic paint option and R18 Aero alloy wheels complete the SUV’s head-turning aesthetics.

At 4,758 mm in length—59 mm longer than before—the new Kodiaq isn’t simply bigger for the sake of it. The additional length translates into meaningful gains in cabin space. The second and third rows now offer better room, making the SUV more accommodating for families who value comfort in all three rows. That third row, in particular, lends genuine seating flexibility, allowing the Kodiaq to adapt effortlessly to different passenger and luggage needs—something few premium SUVs execute this well.

Boot space is impressively versatile,offering 281 litres with all seats up, 786 litres with the third row folded, and a cavernous 1976 litres with the second row down. Whether it’s airport runs or weekend getaways, the Kodiaq handles cargo with ease.

Where the Kodiaq truly exceeds expectations is on the inside. The cabin quality is on par with what you would find in a luxury car. From the Cognac leather upholstery with contrast stitching to the ambient mood lighting and high-end materials used across the dash, it feels more European luxury than premium mainstream.

There’s a massive 32.77 cm free-standing infotainment display paired with a 26.03 cm Virtual Cockpit, but the pièce de résistance is the Škoda Smart Dials—rotary push-buttons with their own displays that control cabin climate, seat functions, and more. It’s clever, tactile, and just plain satisfying to use. This level of attention to detail, right down to the umbrella in the door, gives the Kodiaq the polish of a car twice its price.
