What's under the hood here on Kodiaq is the more noticeable modification. The 2.0-litre diesel engine has been replaced by a powerful 2.0-litre TSI engine with 190hp. This facelifted Kodiaq has a bit of a kick to it, thanks to its 7-speed DSG gearbox. The 0-100kph time is stated to be 7.8 seconds, and owing to launch control and AWD, it is a number you can trust. The Kodiaq's well-fitting suit hides a monocoque chassis, as opposed to the body-on-frames found in the other 7-seaters at such a price bracket like the Fortuner or Gloster. What it lacks in sheer robustness, it more than makes up for in agility. The Kodiaq drives surprisingly nicely for such a huge vehicle. Not that handling is a primary focus for someone buying a car that's nearly 5 meters long, but there are plenty of people who want a big, practical automobile that is enjoyable to drive and the Skoda Kodiaq fulfils their need.
The Kodiaq is really about luxury, and that isn't going to change. Roof rails, virtual cockpit, touchscreen interface, dual zone air con, panoramic sunroof, connected car features, a 360-degree camera, and memory seats with heating and ventilation are all included in the L&K variant. The biggest update for 2022 is the inclusion of wireless phone connectivity, which eliminates the need for wires to connect Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, as well as wireless charging. When you walk into the new Kodiaq, you're met by a familiar scene. The dashboard design is similar to that of the previous car, and as a result, there is a tremendous sensation of room. The vibrant upholstery adds to the cabin's premium sense, and the strong construction all around adds to the overall quality. The steering wheel has been changed to a two-spoke design.
