Skoda Auto India has introduced a new entry-level Lounge variant in the Kodiaq range. Priced at Rs. 39.99 lakh, this version is designed for buyers who want a more affordable entry point into the Kodiaq family, without losing out on core comfort and safety features. The new trim also introduces a five-seat layout, with colour choices limited to Moon White, Magic Black, and Graphite Grey.<\/p>\n
On the outside, the Skoda Kodiaq Right Front Three Quarter profile looks as sharp and premium as ever. The SUV comes fitted with 18-inch alloy wheels and matte dark chrome inserts that give it a clean but stylish edge. The addition of all-LED lighting, roof rails, and a panoramic sunroof make the Lounge look well-rounded, balancing practicality with a sense of luxury.<\/p>\n
Step inside and the Skoda Kodiaq Dashboard reflects a blend of modern tech and subtle luxury. The cabin is finished in Grey Suedia fabric upholstery, which feels premium yet understated. Tech enthusiasts will appreciate the 10.25-inch virtual cockpit and the 10.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless phone mirroring. Everyday convenience is taken care of with features like a wireless charger, rear sun blinds, smart dials, and multiple USB-C charging slots.<\/p>\n
In terms of safety and driver assistance, the Lounge trim doesn\u2019t compromise. It comes with nine airbags, along with a comprehensive package of systems including ABS, EBD, ESC, MSR, ASR, EDL, HBA, DSR, RBS, ESBS, MCB, HSA, and HDC. Comfort isn\u2019t left behind either, thanks to three-zone climate control, cruise control, and selectable drive modes.<\/p>\n
Being positioned as the entry-level option, the Lounge does skip out on a few premium touches seen in higher trims. There\u2019s no driver drowsiness detection, illuminated grille, virtual pedal for the electric tailgate, 360-degree camera, intelligent park assist, or the Canton music system. These omissions make it slightly more basic compared to the Sportline and L&K variants, but the essentials are still firmly in place.<\/p>\n
Kodiaq Lounge: Rs. 39.99 lakh<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Kodiaq Sportline: Rs. 43.76 lakh<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Kodiaq L&K: Rs. 45.96 lakh<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The new Lounge variant seems aimed at buyers who want the Kodiaq\u2019s big SUV feel and strong feature set but are willing to let go of some top-end luxuries for a more approachable price. With its balanced mix of comfort, safety, and practicality, it opens the Kodiaq range to a wider audience without compromising too much on what makes the SUV desirable in the first place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
