Škoda has officially launched the second-generation Kodiaq in the Middle East, marking a bold evolution in design, technology, and space. The all-new seven-seater flagship SUV is now available across the region, starting at 36,500 USD (excluding VAT).
The redesigned Kodiaq showcases Škoda’s “Modern Solid” design language with a bold exterior that includes new TOP LED Matrix headlights, a larger and more versatile body, and a distinctive front grille with optional horizontal light strips. Offering more space, the Kodiaq has grown by over six centimeters and comfortably accommodates seven passengers while providing up to 2,035 liters of boot space when the rear seats are folded.
Inside, the Kodiaq combines cutting-edge technology with sustainable design. Features include Škoda’s innovative Smart Dials, a 13-inch infotainment screen, a new head-up display, and a 10-inch digital driver information system. The cabin also offers premium materials like eco-friendly leather and a Design Selection Suite featuring cognac leather upholstery tanned using discarded coffee beans.
Under the hood, the Kodiaq offers two engine options: a 1.4 TSI delivering 150 hp with front-wheel drive, and a more powerful 2.0 TSI with 190 hp and all-wheel drive. Both engines are paired with a DSG automatic transmission and are equipped with Dynamic Chassis Control for an adaptable driving experience.
Safety features include advanced driver assistance systems, new-generation TOP LED Matrix headlights, and a five-star European NCAP 2024 rating, ensuring top-tier protection for drivers and passengers alike.
Lukas Honzak, Managing Director of Škoda Middle East, highlighted the Kodiaq’s appeal to regional customers, combining European quality with features tailored to local needs. With new showrooms opening across the Middle East in 2025, Škoda aims for the Kodiaq to continue its legacy as a leading SUV in the region.
Since its launch in 2016, the Kodiaq has become a global success, with over 900,000 units sold and numerous awards to its name. The new generation takes this legacy further, offering a versatile and sustainable option for families and adventurers alike.
