Skoda Kodiaq Lounge 5-Seater Entry-Level Variant Launched in India at Rs 39.99 Lakh

Skoda has reduced the entry price of the Kodiaq in India with the launch of a new 5-seater variant, the ‘Lounge’. The new Kodiaq Lounge variant, priced at Rs 39.99 lakh (ex-showroom), is now the most affordable option in the range, undercutting the 7-seater Sportline (Rs 43.76 lakh) and L&K (Rs 45.96 lakh) trims by up to Rs 6 lakh. It distinguishes itself with a more streamlined feature set while maintaining the same core design. For example, the new entry-level model features a smaller 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, compared to the 12.9-inch unit found in higher variants. It also forgoes several premium features, including a 360-degree camera, intelligent park assists, the Canton premium sound system, driver drowsiness detection, an illuminated grille, and the virtual pedal function for the electric tailgate. However, despite the lower price, it doesn’t compromise on essential features, offering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a panoramic sunroof, a 10.25-inch Virtual Cockpit, and the intuitive Smart Dials for multi-function control. As for safety, the SUV is well-equipped with 9 airbags and a comprehensive suite of driver assistance systems.
