The Czech VW subsidiary is freshening up the outside of its biggest SUV, while also adding new engines, including a more powerful petrol option, and a more high-tech cockpit.
Skoda has not yet announced new prices, but they're unlikely to differ much from current pricing, which currently starts at €29,990 (RM149,000) in its home market.
You'll spot the new Kodiaq by new skirts on the front and rear, a more accentuated grille and an updated selection of wheel rims with up to 20 inches.
On the inside, there's a modernised cockpit with a new look for the digital gauges, as well as a new steering wheel like the one used by Octavia drivers. Optional extras include full LED matrix headlights, ergonomic seats and vegan upholstery.
Under the bonnet, Skoda continues to offer a choice of two diesels and three petrol engines, the most powerful of which has a slight increase in power.
The sporty RS model at the top of the range is now listed with 245hp. Below that, there is another 2.0-litre petrol engine with 190hp as well as a 1.5-litre petrol engine with 150hp, which is the only one offered with a manual gearbox instead of the seven-speed dual clutch.
For the diesels, Skoda continues to rely on a four-pot 2.0-litre available with 150hp or 200hp. Skoda has not yet provided data on performance and fuel consumption.
