Skoda has brought back a familiar nameplate, Kodiak, to India. The 2023 Skoda Kodiaq is now on sale at Rs 37.99 lakh, and due to demand, the automaker has increased the allocation to 750 units per quarter for 2023. However, in 2022, all the allocated cars were sold out within 24 hours.
For 2023, the Skoda Kodiaq will continue to use the 2.0-litre TSI engine, however, it is now BS-VI compliant. The engine produces 187bhp and 320Nm of torque mated to a 7-speed DCT, and Skoda says that with updates to meet the new regulations, the engine is 4.2 percent more efficient.
Added to the powertrain is the introduction of Skoda Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) which allows the driver to choose between Eco, Normal, Sport, Comfort, Individual and Snow driving modes, as well as raising or lowering the suspension by 15mm.
Inside, the Kodiaq is wrapped in leather while it gets a black suede interior, a 3-spoke steering wheel, better side bolstering on the seats with an integrated headrest and 12-way electrically adjustable. The seats are also heated and cooled. The 2023 Kodiaq also gets a Canton 625W 12-speaker audio system with a subwoofer.
