The hybrid system provides electric assistance during acceleration, regenerates energy while braking and enables engine off coasting.
Key powertrain highlights:
- 110kW/250Nm
- 7-speed DSG
- FWD
- 6.0L/100km (5-seat)/6.1L/100km (7-seat)

Inside, the Kodiaq Select Hybrid focuses on comfort and intuitive technology. A generous suite of standard equipment emphasises everyday ease and family practicality. Highlights include a tri-zone climate control, heated front seats, an electric tailgate and a power-adjustable driver’s seat with memory function. Technology is anchored by a 13inch infotainment system with navigation, 10inch Virtual Cockpit, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, dual 15W wireless charging pads and multiple 45W USB-C fast charging ports.
With up to 828 litres of luggage capacity in the 5-seat configuration, the Kodiaq continues to offer one of the most spacious and flexible cabins in its class. Škoda’s signature smart details such as door mounted umbrellas, integrated waste bins and flexible cargo organisation solutions introduce thoughtful, practical convenience throughout the cabin.
