2025 Skoda Kodiaq: Lineup detailed for new three-row SUV

Skoda has released some key details of its next-generation Kodiaq lineup, ahead of its local launch in March.

The second-generation Kodiaq will launch first in Select and Sportline trim, along with a special Launch Edition, before the new Kodiaq RS arrives in September.

Skoda will announce pricing closer to launch. For now, it has published a list of features for all Kodiaqs bar the RS.
