Skoda’s next SUVs engine specifications revealed!
Skoda is currently focusing on ‘Project 2.0’ for the Indian market. It has launched Slavia and Kushaq. But with the RDE norms, Skoda had to discontinue the Superb and Octavia. Now Kodiaq is Skoda’s most premium offering in India. Globally, Skoda is working on the new-gen Kodiaq. We have seen spy shots of the car in testing, and now Skoda has revealed some details of the new Kodiaq. In today’s article, let’s talk about the 2024 Skoda Kodiaq.
Engine specifications
The Kodiaq will turn to hybrid powertrains with two options. The entry-level Kodiaq will come with a 1.5-litre TSi engine paired with a mild-hybrid system and a 7-speed DCT gearbox. There will also be a plug-in hybrid setup that will come with a 1.5-litre TSi engine mated to a 25.7kWh battery pack. This setup will combine to produce 201bhp and come with a DSG gearbox. Other than that, there will also be a 2.0-litre TSi engine that produces 201bhp. Globally, Skoda also has two diesel specifications – a 190bhp and a 147bhp option. Should Skoda bring back the diesel option on the Kodiaq? Do let us know in the comments.
2024 Skoda Kodiaq – design
Skoda has released camouflage images of the new-gen Kodiaq. Through this, we can see some new design highlights of the Kodiaq. At the front, we have the traditional Skoda grille with headlamps similar to the Kushaq and Slavia. Below that, we have a fog lamp cutout. The bumper is also redesigned with a small cutout probably for the ADAS radar. The side profile of the Kodaiq is similar at the front but gets a slight window redesign at the rear.
Interior & features
Skoda is yet to reveal the interior images of the Kodiaq. Still, it has revealed some features like a new 12.9-inch infotainment system, heads-up display, and a new drive selector. We can expect some features like the panoramic sunroof, door edge protector, digital instrument cluster, dual-zone climate control etc., to continue on the new model.
2024 Skoda Kodiaq – India launch?
Skoda will soon launch the new-generation Kodiaq in Europe. Skoda has confirmed that it plans to launch the Kodiaq in India, probably in early 2024. Pricing-wise, we can expect a major hike considering the new powertrains and features. Once launched, it will continue to rival SUVs like the Toyota Fortuner, MG Gloster and Jeep Meridian.
