Skoda has launched the 2026 Kodiaq in India, starting at INR 36.99 lakh. The flagship SUV is the brand's first model in India to feature Level 2 ADAS. Available in three variants with a 201 bhp turbo-petrol engine, it offers enhanced safety features and upgraded equipment for the mid-spec Sportline trim.
Skoda Auto India has officially launched the 2026 Kodiaq, introducing Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to its flagship SUV for the first time in the country. Priced from INR 36.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the updated model remains available in three distinct variants: Lounge, Sportline, and Selection L&K. While the mechanical underpinnings and core design remain largely unchanged, the mid-range and top-tier trims now feature enhanced safety technology and equipment previously reserved for the range-topping variant.
The introduction of ADAS marks a significant milestone for the brand in India, as the Kodiaq becomes the first Skoda vehicle in the local market to offer autonomous driving features. This update is designed to strengthen the SUV’s position against premium rivals such as the Jeep Meridian, Toyota Fortuner, and the Volkswagen Tayron. By democratising features across the lineup, Skoda aims to provide a more compelling value proposition for prospective buyers in the luxury utility segment. Nissan Gravite CNG Price in India, Specifications and Features.
