The Skoda Kodiaq takes inspiration for the Vision S concept. The Kodiaq has Czech crystal glass which is set into the headlamps of the Kodiaq. The front grille is a three-dimensional and attractive one. It commands good road presence as well. This SUV is intelligently designed, hence doesn’t look as big as it is.

The Skoda Kodiaq has interiors that are contemporary and also exude a very premium feel. The cabin is also quite utilitarian.

The neat, straight and a proportionately laid out dashboard is pleasing to the eyes. The colour theme is two-tone black and light beige which looks rich and feels luxurious too.
