As previously announced by Skoda, the upcoming Vietnam Motor Show (VMS) 2024, taking place later this month in Ho Chi Minh City, will witness the official debut of the new Kodiaq SUV. Ahead of the exhibition’s opening, a batch of 2025 Skoda Kodiaq vehicles, including the sporty Sportline variant, have arrived at the Vietnamese port.
As predicted, this mid-size SUV boasts a design akin to its newer counterpart currently on sale in the European market. Officially unveiled in September 2023, the new-generation Skoda Kodiaq has undergone enhancements in terms of dimensions, design, and the inclusion of more advanced safety and comfort features.
Specifically, the 2025 Skoda Kodiaq boasts dimensions of 4,758 mm in length, 1,864 mm in width, and 1,657 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,791 mm. Compared to its predecessor, it is 61 mm longer, 18 mm narrower, and 24 mm lower, while the wheelbase remains unchanged.
The 2025 Skoda Kodiaq features subtle changes in its dimensions.
The exterior design of the vehicle has evolved rather than undergone a complete overhaul, adopting the Modern Solid design language while retaining signature Skoda elements such as the grille with vertical slats and the two-tiered front light arrangement.

Additionally, the 2025 Skoda Kodiaq introduces new exterior elements such as headlights, taillights, front and rear bumpers, and alloy wheels. The headlights are now full-LED matrix units with 36 modules, integrating sleek LED daytime running lights that double as turn signals. Meanwhile, the taillights are designed in the shape of a “C,” wrapping around the rear corners and connected by a light bar stretching across the tailgate.

Inside, the mid-size SUV presents a minimalist and modern cabin. Occupants are greeted by a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a new 12.9-inch central touchscreen, and a head-up display. Despite the larger infotainment screen, the 2025 Skoda Kodiaq retains convenient physical buttons and controls.

Another notable change is the repositioning of the gear selector behind the steering wheel, similar to that of the Hyundai Santa Fe 2025. Consequently, the central console gains additional space for a more spacious storage compartment.

Furthermore, the 2025 Skodiaq introduces a new storage compartment for rear passengers, a cooled compartment for wireless phone charging, a flexible cargo area, and a driver’s side door with an umbrella compartment, reminiscent of luxury cars like the Rolls-Royce.

In terms of powertrain options, the 2025 Skoda Kodiaq for the Vietnamese market is expected to retain the two gasoline engine choices from its predecessor. The first is a 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine producing 150 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.
The second is a more powerful 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine generating 190 horsepower and 320 Nm of torque. Compared to the previous version, this engine gains an additional 10 horsepower. It is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch wet clutch transmission and all-wheel drive.
The 2025 Skoda Kodiaq for the Vietnamese market will likely retain the previous engine options.
Pricing for the 2025 Skoda Kodiaq in Vietnam is yet to be announced. The previous model was offered at a price range of VND 1,189 billion to VND 1,409 billion.
