New Kodiaq takes Škoda to next level

The new Kodiaq will arrive in Ireland this year.

The second generation of the large Skoda SUV boasts a powerful appearance, innovative new features and more space.

Features will include a 13-inch infotainment display as well as some new and improved assistance systems including the new Turn and Remote Park Assists.

Its five powertrains offer outputs of from 150hp to 204hp. The range now includes a plug-in hybrid version which is a first for the Kodiaq, and an electric range of more than 100kms.

The 1.5 TSI with 150hp marks the debut of mild-hybrid technology in the vehicle. The range topping 2.0 diesel with 193hp is with all-wheel drive.

All powertrains are mated to a DSG automatic transmission as standard.

In Ireland over 11,000 Kodiaqs have been delivered.

Klaus Zellmer, CEO of Škoda Auto, says: "Our all-new flagship SUV has everything it needs to be a worthy successor in the Škoda Kodiaq line. The new Kodiaq takes the Škoda features our customers appreciate to the next level: more space, more features, and more efficiency. With innovations like the well-received Smart Dials and sleek interior materials, alongside elements from our Modern Solid design language and updated safety and assistance systems, the next-generation Kodiaq makes every day exploring even more rewarding. We have also broadened our range of highly efficient powertrains, introducing a plug-in hybrid with an electric range of over 100 km, furthering our commitment to sustainable mobility. Since its 2016 launch, the Kodiaq has played a crucial role in Škoda's growth, consistently striking a chord with our customers. The new Kodiaq is perfectly placed to continue this successful legacy."

The new Kodiaq will arrive here this year. Skoda says early ordering is advised.
