MAW Skoda has announced the launch of the new Skoda Kodiaq facelift. The new Skoda Kodiaq carries a price tag of Rs. 1,71,00,000 and packs a revamped design.

It gets a new hexagonal butterfly grille with chrome inserts. New slim LED headlamps with the DRLs running at the bottom of the headlights. Thanks to the new grille and new headlamps, the car gets a more aggressive look as opposed to the lazier look offered by the old model. The fog lamps on this model are placed higher up just below the headlights.

Over to the side, the look remains unchanged and offers the same bold lines and the chrome treatment around the windows. The Trinity 18-inch wheels however are a fresh new addition. The car also gets a dual-tone color scheme, with the roof rails, rear spoiler and the ORVMs covered in gloss black. At the back, the taillights have a very edgy and slim look.

On the inside, we get multiway electrically adjustable perforated-leather seats with memory function for the driver and heating function in the front and back. The Canton sound system is another optional extra now offering ten speakers, in addition to the central speaker in the dashboard and the subwoofer in the boot. It gets the new twin-spoke Skoda steering wheel, along with a 10.25-inch digital Virtual Cockpit instrument cluster and an 8-inch infotainment system. The car also gets a panoramic sunroof and ambient lighting to elevate the overall finish of the cabin.

The Skoda Kodiaq facelift is powered by a 2.0-liter TDI that generates 150 PS and 340 Nm Torque.  All four wheels are driven through a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DSG). Safety kits on the Kodiaq include 9 airbags with knee airbags, ABS with EBD, brake assist, multi-collision brake, all-around parking sensors, and a blind-spot monitoring system.
