From what the teasers reveal, it appears that differences between the Skoda Kodiaq and its precursor - the Skoda VisionS - are very little. It features an evolution of Skoda’s angular styling seen in the Skoda Octavia and Superb, featuring a wide 'butterfly' grille flanked by Bi-Xenon headlamps with LED DRLs, sharp LED taillamps, a new alloy wheel design inspired by the VisionS concept, and roof rails.

Engine lineup will include three TSI petrol and two TDI diesel engines initially. Reports speculate that the output of the three petrol engines will range from 125 PS to 180 PS (123.24 hp to 177.47 hp), while the two diesel engines will produce 150 PS and 190 PS (147.89 hp and 187.33 hp). Transmission options will include 6-speed manual and DSG dual-clutch automatic.
