The 2026 Skoda Kodiaq has officially been launched in India with new features, additional technologies, and subtle cosmetic changes. Through this MY26 upgrade, Skoda Auto plans to enhance its presence in the premium SUV segment with improved comfort, features, safety, and luxury touches across the range.
The most important feature of the MY26 Kodiaq is the inclusion of ADAS technology, which makes it the first Skoda car in India to be equipped with Level-2 ADAS features.
Price And Trim Options
The MY26 Skoda Kodiaq range begins at Rs 36.99 lakh (ex-showroom) with the base Lounge 5-seater model. The second-generation Sportline 7-seater version has been introduced at a price of Rs 44.99 lakh, whereas the fully loaded Selection L&K 7-seater model is the top-spec option, priced at Rs 46.99 lakh (ex-showroom).
Skoda offers various seating options in the range. The Lounge version is best known for its 5-seater arrangement with a large 786-litre boot capacity.
Premium Features Present In Lounge Pack
Even the entry-level Lounge pack comes loaded with premium features. It receives grey Suedia upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, a leather-covered two-spoke multifunction steering wheel, paddle shifters, acoustic insulation, and three-zone Climatronic air conditioning.
Other notable features include soft-touch cabin trim, steering-mounted gearshift controls, and a familiar premium interior design. Under the hood, the SUV is powered by a 2.0-litre TSI turbocharged petrol engine producing 204 PS and 320 Nm of torque. A 7-speed DSG automatic transmission sends power to an all-wheel-drive system.
First-Ever Skoda With ADAS In India
In addition to the previous models, the mid-range Sportline and top-tier Selection L&K trim levels now offer Level-2 ADAS systems in Skoda vehicles sold in India. This advanced driver assistance suite includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Front Assist with Emergency Brake Assist, Lane Assist, Side Assist, Rear Traffic Alert, and an Exit Warning System.
Apart from that, the Sportline and Selection L&K models come equipped with LED matrix headlamps featuring Adaptive Front-lighting Systems for better visibility at night.
It was earlier rumored that the refreshed Kushaq would be the first Skoda model to feature ADAS, but the latest Kodiaq has received the technology first.
Sportline And L&K Upgraded With Luxury Features
The Sportline gets upgrades that were previously available only on the L&K model, such as a 360-degree camera, Intelligent Park Assist, and illuminated front grille strips. The vehicle also gets a sportier appearance with glossy black exterior highlights, black Suedia upholstery, aluminum pedals, and a three-spoke steering wheel.
On the other hand, the Selection L&K variant prioritizes luxury, featuring Cognac leather upholstery, Ergo seats with massage, heating, and ventilation functions, along with Laurin & Klement branding throughout the interior.
The updated Kodiaq is produced locally in India at Skoda’s Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar plant.
