The interior features a relocated gear selector, a large 13-inch infotainment screen, and Skoda's new Smart Dials.

The all-new Skoda Kodiaq is set to arrive later in 2023, and the Czech brand has released images of its redesigned interior and new features. The interior of the Kodiaq has a striking new look, with a relocated gear selector that creates more space for a spacious center console. It also features a large 13-inch infotainment screen with Skoda's new Smart Dials, which allow users to toggle between different functions and adjust them with the same knob.
The upcoming second-generation Skoda Kodiaq is slightly larger than the outgoing model and offers a larger 910-litre boot. The design of the new Kodiaq takes an evolutionary approach, combining existing design cues with elements from Skoda's upcoming electric vehicles. The powertrains of the new Kodiaq will include a plug-in hybrid variant, as well as mild-hybrid, diesel, and petrol models.
The interior of the new Kodiaq features a large, chunky dashboard and a more angular design. Skoda has focused on using sustainable materials, such as 100% recycled polyester and eco leather tanned by coffee bean processing residues and wastewater from olive processing. The Smart Dials and infotainment screen are user-friendly, and the car will include a variety of safety features.
The full reveal of the new Skoda Kodiaq is expected to happen in autumn 2023, and it will likely have a higher starting price than the outgoing model. Skoda aims to provide good value for money and compete with other SUVs in its class. Recently, a prototype of the Kodiaq was driven, and it felt similar to the outgoing model in terms of driving experience.
