Skoda Kodiaq 7-seater SUV with three variants to be launched this month

We have entered into 2022 and the automotive world will be surprising us by introducing new automobiles in the sector. Starting the year with the launch of the recent Skoda Kodiaq seven-seater SUV, the facelifted version is to arrive in the second week of January. The select dealerships will be starting to take pre-bookings. Besides, Team-BHP reported, the SUV will be coming in three variants – Style, Sportline, and L&K. The starting price of the car will be Rs 36.50 lakh (ex-showroom).

The launch of the Kodiaq facelift will mark the return of SUV in India nearly after two years as it was oops out of the market due to the implementation of BS6 emission norms. The car made its debut in the global market in April 2021, and it will be launched in India with nine airbags as standard, right from the base variant.

The SUV features a larger grille design with heavy touches of chrome. The LED headlamps get a sleek look and a new dual-tone alloy wheel gives Kodiaq a new look. The changes can be seen in the rear end of the vehicle with updated LED tail lamps and bumper design. Kodiaq also has a panoramic sunroof.

Besides, on the side, the updated SUV features an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 12-speaker Canton sound system, a wireless charger, and footwell ambient lighting. For safety and convenience, the vehicle will have ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, cruise control, and tyre pressure monitoring.

However, the possible buyers are more interested in the change in the engine unit. The SUV has replaced the outgoing 150 PS 2-litre TDI unit with a 190 hp, 320 Nm 2.0-liter petrol engine which was previously seen on cars like Octavia and Superb. The transmission duties will be performed by a 7-speed automatic gearbox with an all-wheel drive as standard.
