Skoda is one of the most popular cars among enthusiasts as well as those who love a premium cabin. And now, Skoda has gone a step further to cater to those who prefer the perfect combination of performance, comfort and safety along with a plethora of features, by giving its SUV India’s favourite feature – ADAS. So, which Skoda SUV is this? Let’s find out!
Skoda Kodiaq Gets ADAS!
Skoda has updated its Kodiaq for 2026, and it now gets one of India’s favourite safety features – ADAS. Until now, the Kodiaq has had 3 variants in India, and none of them featured ADAS. However, the brand has now added ADAS to the Sportline variant as well as the L&K variant, which is quite a good move. The ADAS suite consists of features like
- Adaptive cruise control
- Blind spot monitoring
- Emergency braking
- Rear cross traffic alert
- Exit warning
- Lane keep assist
This is the first time that Skoda has offered ADAS in its cars for the Indian market. While its sister car, the Tayron R-Line, as well as the Tiguan R-Line, were both offered with the safety feature. Along with this addition, the brand has confirmed that its cars from the lower segment will also be offered with ADAS in the next two years. For the MY2026 Kodiaq, Skoda has discontinued two colour options – Steel grey (Sportline) and Red velvet (L&K). The brand hasn’t yet revealed the pricing of the MY2026 Kodiaq, but we can expect a price hike of around Rs 1 lakh for the addition of ADAS. The existing model carries a price tag ranging from Rs 47.81 lakh to Rs 55.49 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). That said, what else does the Kodiaq have to offer?
What Else?
The Skoda Kodiaq offers a premium and spacious cabin with a slew of comfort-oriented features. The SUV gets features like powered, ventilated and massaging front seats, a panoramic sunroof, a 12.9-inch touchscreen, a 10.25-inch instrument cluster, a 360-degree camera and much more. Under the hood is a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine producing 201bhp and 320Nm of torque, along with a 7-speed DSG and AWD. That said, Skoda is also expected to launch the sportier version of the SUV this month – the Kodiaq RS. The RS version will get sportier design elements and a more powerful engine. So, would you get the MY2026 Skoda Kodiaq over the Fortuner?
