2025 Skoda Kodiaq is more expensive but packs more kit

Australian pricing for the 2025 Skoda Kodiaq lineup has been confirmed, with the second generation of the seven-seat SUV to start from $54,990 before on-road costs when it arrives in showrooms this month.

At launch there will be three variants on offer, all with the same turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive. The entry-level Select replaces the old Style, the Sportline returns, and the Launch Edition throws all the fruit in.

While base pricing is up from the outgoing Style’s $53,990 drive-away deal, Skoda’s local division claims the Select offers $5700 of additional specification.

Finally, the Kodiaq Launch Edition is a limited-run model that has an undisclosed unit count, priced from $63,490 before on-road costs.

It effectively matches the equipment of the Sportline’s Ultimate Pack without the Sportline appearance package, making it something of a luxury flagship.

The Launch Edition doesn’t have any optional equipment available, bar the choice of Black or Cognac leather upholstery.

As noted earlier, all three launch variants are powered by a 140kW 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, sending drive to an on-demand all-wheel drive system via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Later in 2025, the range will be bolstered by the RS performance hero, boasting a more powerful 195kW 2.0-litre turbo drivetrain shared with the likes of the Volkswagen Golf GTI and Skoda Octavia RS, albeit with AWD.
