2026 Skoda Kodiaq revealed; gets ADAS from mid-spec Sportline trim

Skoda has updated the Kodiaq for the latest model year, bringing an ADAS suite to the lineup and making certain features more affordable. The Czech carmaker had introduced the second generation of its flagship SUV in April 2025, featuring design changes, a broader tech suite, and an updated powertrain. This time, the updates are more concise, aimed at remaining competitive within the segment.

• Emergency braking
• Lane keep assist
• Blindspot monitor

Skoda has also made the 360-degree camera and the LED grille strip available right from the mid-range Sportline trim onwards, making the features more accessible. These were previously limited to the range-topping L&K version.

The entry-level Lounge variant does not receive any updates for 2026. Mechanically, the 2026 Kodiaq remains unchanged, continued to derive power from the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, sending 201 bhp and 320 Nm of torque to all four wheels via a 7-speed DCT.
