Inside the Kodiaq, the dashboard wears soft-touch materials and ambient mood lighting that extends into the footwells and doors. This is supported by acoustic glass and extra insulation, designed to keep the rear cabin quiet even at highway speeds.
From the driver's perspective, a leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel with shift paddles offers controls for audio, phone, and driver-assist functions. Behind it sits a 26.03 cm Virtual Cockpit digital instrument cluster that lets the driver choose from multiple display layouts.
At the centre, the new-generation infotainment system uses a large touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while a dedicated 15 W wireless charging pad with ventilation keeps two phones topped up.
Regarding comfort, the front seats come with power adjustment, memory, heating, and thigh-support extenders, where higher trims add ventilation and an 8-programme pneumatic massage function.
To the back, the second-row slides and reclines, providing three individual headrests and an armrest with cupholders, while a third row adds genuine occasional seating.
Finally, in terms of practicality, boot space measures 281 litres with all seats occupied, grows to 786 litres with the third row folded, and reaches 1,976 litres with both rear rows folded flat.

The Kodiaq’s closest rivals in its segment are the Toyota Fortuner, MG Gloster and Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line.
The Fortuner uses a body-on-frame chassis, offers a diesel engine, and has higher ground clearance. Whereas the Kodiaq is a petrol SUV with a monocoque platform and a seven-seat layout.
The Gloster offers a diesel engine, more features, and a larger cabin. The Kodiaq counters with a premium interior, a quieter cabin, and up to 1,965 litres of boot space with the rear seats folded.
The Tiguan R-Line shares the same 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and platform but is tuned for sharper responses. Conversely, the Kodiaq gets seven-seat capability, a sliding second row and greater overall practicality for larger families.
