Skoda has launched a model-year update for its flagship SUV offering, the Kodiaq. This update adds an ADAS suite to certain Kodiaq variants and makes a couple of other features more affordable in the line-up too. Prices have yet to be announced for the 2026 Skoda Kodiaq.
- Kodiaq ADAS suite includes 7 functions
- 360deg camera, grille LED strip now available from mid-spec Sportline trim onwards
2026 Skoda Kodiaq: What's new?
ADAS offered in mid and top trims
As mentioned earlier, the headline addition for the 2026 Kodiaq is an ADAS suite. It encompasses 7 functions, namely adaptive cruise control, adaptive headlights, frontal assist (warning and braking), lane keep assist, side assist (blind spot detection and lane changing), rear traffic alert, and an exit warning system.
ADAS is available in the mid-spec Kodiaq Sportline and top-spec Selection L&K variants. Notably, the Kodiaq is the only Skoda model on sale in India that's equipped with ADAS features. This addition helps put the Kodiaq on more even footing with its direct rival, the Volkswagen Tayron, which also offers ADAS.
What community is saying on the Kodiaq?
Aside from the driver assistance upgrade, the 2026 Kodiaq Sportline variant has been enriched with a 360-degree camera and grille-embedded LED strip (pictured above) – this duo of features was previously exclusive to the top-spec Kodiaq Selection L&K trim. The base Kodiaq Lounge 5-seat variant sees no changes with this model year update.
