The Skoda Kodiaq's exterior styling is an evolution of the company's current design language, featuring characteristic angular lines, Skoda’s butterfly grille, sleek double headlamps, and LED taillamps. At the tape, it measures 4,697 mm long, 1,882 mm wide, 1,667 mm tall and has a 2,791 mm wheelbase.

Inside, the Kodiaq is available with three upholstery options: a fabric/leather combination, leather or Alcantara covers, and five interior trim options. It’s the first 7-seater from Skoda, offering a couple of seats in the third row as an option. The Kodiaq has a boot volume of 720L (with third row folded), which can be increased to 2,065L with the second row folded.
