New Skoda Kodiaq Sportline vs L&K differences

Exterior

The Kodiaq Sportline and L&K trims mainly differ in exterior detailing. The Sportline gets a blacked-out treatment on the front grille, wing mirrors, roof rails, D-pillar and the ‘SKODA’, ‘KODIAQ’ and ‘4X4’ letterings on the tailgate. In contrast, the L&K gets chrome in all these places – the roof rails are finished in brushed silver. It also adds a horizontal LED strip within the grille, which connects the headlights. Body-coloured side skirts are offered only in the Sportline.

Both trims get 18-inch alloy wheels as standard – the Sportline features a sporty design, while the L&K comes with aero-style covers. The connected tail-lights are smoked-out on the Sportline, while the L&K retains a clearer and more conventional look. They also feature distinct rear bumper designs – checkered in the Sportline and plain in the L&K.
