Some cars wilt when the pavement crumbles and the grey grid fades in the rearview mirror. Not the Kodiaq. This SUV thrives when you ditch the city and chase the horizon. Whether it's a sudden downpour turning your commute into a slip-and-slide, or a weekend getaway with friends packed into the cabin, the Kodiaq is a constant companion.

It's punchy, powerful, and begs to be unleashed. You'll find yourself grinning as you carve through corners, the engine's eager response urging you onward.
This powerplant isn't new territory for Skoda, having proven itself in the Octavia and Superb.
But the Kodiaq brings out a whole new character in this engine.
Mated to a slick-shifting DSG gearbox and a permanent 4x4 drivetrain, the Kodiaq isn't just about spirited on-road performance. It's an invitation to explore.
