Skoda Auto India is all set to launch the second-generation Kodiaq in the country on 17 April 2025. And ahead of its grand debut, we’ve got our hands on some key specs and details you’ll definitely want to know if you’re SUV shopping. From colour options to fuel efficiency, here’s everything that’s been revealed so far.
Variants
The new Kodiaq will be launched in two variants: Sportline and L&K (Laurin & Klement). These trims cater to different tastes — Sportline is for those who want a sportier, athletic vibe, while the L&K brings in that luxe and premium feel for more comfort-focused buyers.
Each variant even gets its own exclusive paint shade, adding a nice touch of individuality.
Colours
Skoda isn’t skimping on styling. The new Kodiaq will be offered in five standard colours:
- Velvet Red Metallic
- Race Blue Metallic
- Graphite Grey Metallic
- Magic Black Metallic
- Moon White Metallic
Plus, there are two exclusive colours. The Sportline gets Bronx Gold Metallic, while the L&K comes in Steel Grey. That brings the total colour count to seven — a pretty solid palette for buyers to choose from.
Engine
Powering the 2025 Kodiaq is a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine that puts out 201 bhp and 320 Nm of torque — that’s a bump of 14 bhp compared to the older version.
It’s paired with a 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox for quick and smooth shifts. And yes, the SUV comes with a 4×4 system as standard, giving it extra capability whether you’re off-roading or just cruising through the monsoons.
Mileage
Now let’s talk about something we all care about — fuel efficiency. The company claims a mileage of 14.86 kmpl, which is decent for a full-size petrol-powered SUV with AWD. Given the power on tap and added weight of the 4×4 setup, this figure looks competitive.
Here’s a quick glance at the specs:
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Engine | 2.0L Turbo-petrol |
| Power | 201 bhp |
| Torque | 320 Nm |
| Transmission | 7-speed DSG Automatic |
| Drivetrain | 4×4 (Standard) |
| Mileage (Claimed) | 14.86 kmpl |
Launch
The official prices will be revealed on 17 April 2025, and it’s expected to compete in the premium SUV segment. Given the upgrades in power, features, and style, pricing will likely be a bit higher than the outgoing model — but with everything you’re getting, it might just be worth it.
So if you’re in the market for a well-rounded, powerful SUV that stands out, the 2025 Kodiaq should definitely be on your radar.
