2022 Skoda Kodiaq price and specs

Skoda’s new seven-seat Kodiaq crossover has touched down in Australia with a new look, more tech, and a redesigned interior.

UPDATE, 11/02/2022 – A Skoda Australia spokesperson has confirmed the Kodiaq won’t receive certain safety and luxury features due to the ongoing global semiconductor shortage.

Affected owners who have already placed an order are being credited from $1100. Drive-away pricing hasn’t been altered.

The Skoda Australia said these de-specified Kodiaq models will only be offered for “a few months” before the missing features return. You can view the full breakdown in the Safety and Standard Equipment sections.

Compared to the vehicle before it, the 2022 Kodiaq has been refined in line with Skoda models like the all-new Octavia, and packs a more luxurious interior.

The petrol-powered Kodiaq RS will follow the Style and Sportline, arriving at the end of the first quarter of 2022. Prices are up by $1000 across the board compared to those announced during August 2021.

Up front there are slimmer split headlights incorporating available Matrix LED technology, plus a more upright front grille and a new bumper.

At the rear there’s a new spoiler extending from the roofline and revised LED tail lights that are slimmer and incorporate more ‘crystalline’ details. New alloy wheel designs fill the arches, too.

While the available touchscreens still measure 8.0 inches and 9.2 inches depending on model, they run the Volkswagen Group’s latest infotainment and mapping interface with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Software updates can now be installed over the air, with wireless phone charging available in some models.

New USB-C ports are scattered throughout the cabin, and an updated 10.25-inch Virtual Cockpit digital instrument cluster features as standard.
