2nd Gen Škoda Kodiaq Spotted Testing In Leh

Right after making its first appearance about a month and half ago, the next gen Kodiaq has been spied yet again without any camouflage just like last time, but now in Ladakh and this time around with stationary shots that also reveal the alloy wheel design.

Styling

It sports a fresh design while still maintaining distinctive elements reminiscent of its predecessor. Notable styling elements include a bigger signature Škoda ‘butterfly’ grille with more vertical slats than before, angular split headlamps, fog lights and tail-lights with a continuous light bar spanning the entire rear width of the vehicle, as is the trend with almost all cars today.

Changes

The side profile tells a different tale however. The rear quarter glass is now much sharper and edgier than before giving it a more sporty look. The main point of interest now although is the new and updated alloy wheel design, as it was not visible when the first set of spy shots were making rounds on the internet, owing to the fact that they were taken while in motion and on the highway at higher speeds.

What To Expect?

To most probably have the same powertrain options (except the diesel), set of features, safety equipment and interior as the international spec model. Expect its India debut sometime in early 2025, where it will compete in the full size SUV segment like as now and rival cars such as the Toyota Fortuner, Hyundai Tucson, MG Gloster, Jeep Meridian, Nissan X-Trail and the Volkswagen Tiguan, which it shares a platform with.
