The 2026 Skoda Kodiaq has been unveiled in refreshed form, bringing a more comprehensive ADAS suite and a series of feature upgrades aimed at raising its position in the segment.

The update focuses on enhanced safety, driver assistance, and connectivity, rather than an exterior redesign, keeping the seven-seater SUV's familiar silhouette, with minor changes in cabin tech and active safety offerings.

The 2026 Kodiaq now comes with a more advanced ADAS package, including systems such as lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, and blind spot monitoring across higher trims.

Newer assistance functions like Turn Assist, Crossroad Assist and Exit Warning help prevent junction turn incidents and alert occupants when roadside traffic is approaching during door opening.

The updated radar based sensors improve the reach and accuracy of lane change and follow distance alerts.The SUV also retains a high-safety foundation, with up to nine airbags and systems such as ESC, multi-collision brake, hill-descent control, and adaptive headlights as part of its standard safety set-up.

It is important to mention that ADAS is available in the mid-range Kodiaq Sportline and the premium Selection L&K versions. Interestingly, the Kodiaq is the sole Skoda vehicle currently available in India that comes with ADAS features. This enhancement allows the Kodiaq to compete more effectively with its direct competitor, the Volkswagen Tayron, which similarly provides ADAS.
