2026 Skoda Kodiaq Every Variant Explained

Skoda's Kodiaq is a mid-size 5 or 7-seater, built on the MQB platform and features a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with AWD. It has a spacious interior, and Skoda’s typical focus on solid build quality and ride comfort.

Skoda Kodiaq Prices And Variants Summary 

Skoda Kodiaq buyers do not need to figure out much, as it is only available in three solidly equipped variants. The range starts at ₹36.99 lakh (ex-showroom) with the 5-seater Lounge variant, then steps up to the 7-seater Sportline at ₹44.99 lakh, which brings a full ADAS suite, LED Matrix headlights, a larger 12.9-inch touchscreen, and the Canton sound system.

The jump between the lower and mid variant is a staggering Rs 8 lakh, but it is justified if you are a Skoda fan.

At ₹46.99 lakh, roughly ₹10 lakh more than the base Lounge, the flagship Selection Laurin & Klement (L&K) finally adds pneumatic massage Ergo seats, Cognac leather interiors, and the exclusive Mazeno alloys with Aero Trims.

What's Common Across All Skoda Kodiaq Variants?

Please note that across all the three Kodiaq variants, the mechanicals, like the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with 204 hp and 320 Nm, 7-speed DSG, 4x4 drivetrain, disc brakes, 18-inch alloys, remain the same.

Another gear would have made it perfect for highway cruising, but that 7-speed is pretty snappy for what it is.

The shared kit also makes the Kodiaq feel fully loaded even in the base variant, getting 9 airbags, ESC, ABS, EBD, traction and stability tech, Isofix mounts.

In addition, they all share Kessy keyless entry, Smart Dials, wireless Smartlink, wireless charging for two phones, USB-C ports, a panoramic sunroof, acoustic side windows, 3-zone climate control, and a long list of Simply Clever touches.

Here is what you get with each of the Kodiaq variants sitting comfortably under 50 lakhs:

Kodiaq Lounge Base Model

Who Should Buy The Skoda Kodiaq Lounge Base Model?

Let’s be clear about who this variant is for: someone who wants a full-size premium European SUV with AWD, a panoramic sunroof, 9 airbags, and a 2.0L turbo-petrol without spending north of ₹40 lakh.

At ₹36.99 lakh, the Lounge is the most accessible the Kodiaq has ever been, and it covers the essentials very well.

The 5-seat layout gives you a roomier rear experience (no third row eating into legroom) and still offers 786 litres of boot space with the seats up in the second row. If your family is four or five people and you don’t need a third row, this is the sweet spot.

What features does Skoda Kodiaq Lounge base model have?

The most affordable Kodiaq variant has standout features like LED lights, 9 airbags, 3-zone AC, keyless entry, 10.25-inch touchscreen and 18-inch wheels.

Sportline Mid Model

Who Should Buy The Skoda Kodiaq Sportline Model?

The Sportline variant comes with a 360-degree camera, Intelligent Park Assist, LED Matrix headlights, illuminated front grille strip, and a full Level-2 ADAS suite things that were either absent or L&K-exclusive before.

Layer on the sporty blacked-out styling, the 13-speaker Canton sound system, the larger 12.9-inch touchscreen, and the 7-seat layout, and you're looking at a very compelling car at ₹44.99 lakh.

The main trade-offs vs the L&K: no seat ventilation or massage, no Ergo seat with pneumatic lumbar, and no Cognac leather. If you spend more time in the driver's seat than the rear, the Sportline is genuinely hard to argue with.

Selection L&K Top Model

Who Should Buy The Skoda Kodiaq Selection L&K Model?

The Selection Laurin & Klement is named after the founders of Skoda themselves, and Skoda reserves that badge for the absolute best version of any model. At ₹46.99 lakh, it's ₹2 lakh more than the Sportline, and the money goes in two very specific places: the seats and the styling.

The Ergo front seats with pneumatic 8-programme massage, ventilation, and heating are genuinely outstanding there's nothing quite like them in this segment. You also get Cognac leather interiors (a real visual differentiator), Unique Dark Chrome exterior trim for a more refined look, and the Mazeno alloys with Aero trims for a quietly understated stance.
