Skoda launched the new-gen Kodiaq in India in 2025 as the Czech carmaker’s flagship SUV offering. The Kodiaq is a three-row SUV rivalling the likes of the Toyota Fortuner, Volkswagen Tayron, and Jeep Meridian. Below, we’ve delved into the fine details of the Kodiaq line-up, including powertrains, pricing, colours, and variant-wise feature distribution.
Skoda Kodiaq price and powertrains
Price range is Rs 36.99 lakh-46.99 lakh
Following the 2026 update for the Kodiaq, the SUV starts at Rs 36.99 lakh for its entry-level Lounge 5-seater variant. The mid-spec Kodiaq Sportline costs Rs 44.99 lakh, and the range-topping Selection L&K is priced at Rs 46.99 lakh. Here’s a detailed price list for the Skoda Kodiaq range:
Under the bonnet, the Kodiaq comes with a sole 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that develops 204hp and 320Nm. This output is routed to all four wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The Kodiaq claims an ARAI fuel efficiency of 14.86kpl.
Skoda Kodiaq colour options
Five exterior colours, three for the interior
The Kodiaq can be had in one of five exterior finishes, namely Bronx Gold, Graphite Grey, Magic Black, Moon White, and Race Blue. Buyers of the Kodiaq Lounge can choose between Magic Black, Graphite Grey, and Moon White, while the Sportline variant additionally offers Race Blue. Lastly, Bronx Gold is reserved for the top-spec Kodiaq Selection L&K trim.
Inside, the Kodiaq gets unique finishes for every variant. The Lounge trim comes decked out in ‘Grey Suedia’, the Sportline in ‘Black Suedia’, and the Selection L&K in a ‘Cognac Leather’ finish.

Which Skoda Kodiaq variant should you buy?
Rs 10 lakh delta between base and top variants
If you don’t need the third row, the base Lounge variant of the Kodiaq is quite well-equipped and a full Rs 10 lakh cheaper than the top-spec Selection L&K. However, should you need the expanded seating capacity, there’s only a Rs 2 lakh difference between the Kodiaq Sportline and Selection L&K. They’re mostly matched in terms of creature comforts, with the Selection L&K’s big draw being massaging and ventilated front seats. If you can forgo that, the Sportline is the 7-seat version of the Kodiaq to buy.
