The driver’s space is dominated by a multifunction steering wheel, which is emblazoned with the new 2D Škoda logo in the middle, and comes with decorative elements in a unique dark matte chrome colour. The infotainment system’s free-standing modern touchscreen protrudes from the dashboard so that it is always at the driver’s fingertips. Now that the automatic gear selector has been repositioned by the steering wheel, the centre console has more space and a cleaner feel. Ambient lighting in the dashboard and door panels adds to the inviting mood of the interior.

The optional third row of seats makes the Kodiaq an extremely practical car that can seat up to 7 occupants. They get to travel in maximum comfort and enjoy plenty of interior space. It goes without saying that Isofix anchor points feature on the second-row outboard seats and may also be found on the front passenger’s seat.

With the Kodiaq, there’ll be no more worries about having to leave anything behind. It’s simple – you can fit in everything you need. The luggage compartment accommodates 910 l in the basic five-seat configuration, rising to 2,105 l when the rear seats are folded down. This makes the Kodiaq’s boot one of the largest in its class.

The head-up display is a handy assistant on your journeys, projecting your current speed, navigation instructions and other information onto the windscreen. The 10” Virtual Cockpit with five different layouts offers more detailed information and can be configured to display the data you choose.

The three rotary and pressable Smart Dials with a mini display in the middle, positioned beneath the infotainment system, are a nifty feature in the Kodiaq’s interior. Drivers can easily control the air-conditioning, volume, map zoom and numerous other functions with them.

Every part of Kodiaq’s interior has been crafted with the utmost attention to quality workmanship and the use of premium materials, all with sustainability and conservation in mind. This is why, in the ecoSuite interior, the leather is tanned with leftovers from coffee bean production, while in the Lounge Design Selection 40% natural wool has been used. All the textile parts in all interiors are made from 100% recycled polyester. The umbrella and ice scraper are also made from sustainable materials.
