Skoda Unveils the Kodiaq Select, Adding Value to Its Flagship Crossover
Skoda has expanded the Kodiaq lineup in Australia with the introduction of the Select model. This entry-level version of the latest-generation Kodiaq builds on the outgoing Style trim by adding several attractive features.
Enhanced Features Included
The Kodiaq Select comes standard with your choice of either a perforated black leather interior with gray stitching or, at no extra cost, a perforated cognac leather cockpit. It also boasts a 13-inch infotainment touchscreen with built-in navigation, DAB+ digital radio, three-zone climate control, memory settings for the power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, and much more.
Standard equipment further includes a 9-speaker audio system, five USB-C ports (including one cleverly placed in the rearview mirror), auto-dimming and power-folding side mirrors, and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality. You'll also find two ventilated wireless charging pads for smartphones. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) come standard as well, featuring Emergency Assist, Traffic Jam Assist, Front Assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Lane Assist with adaptive lane guidance.
Other Models and Options
Alongside the Select, Skoda offers the Kodiaq Sportline in Australia, starting at AU$61,990 (US$39,285) driveaway. The Sportline adds stylish 20-inch wheels, Matrix LED headlights with an illuminated grille strip, dynamic rear indicators, and sleek glossy black trim elements.
For enhanced comfort and technology, the Ultimate Package is available for AU$4,000 (US$2,535) on the Sportline. This package includes hill descent control, a surround-view camera system, intelligent park assist, a head-up display, premium audio, hands-free tailgate, power-adjustable passenger seat, and progressive steering.
The top-tier 2025 Skoda Kodiaq Launch Edition rounds out the range in Australia. Priced from AU$65,490 (US$41,505) driveaway, it blends features from both the Select and Sportline models (excluding the larger wheels). Highlights include aluminum-finished pedals, glossy black exterior accents, the Ultimate Package, front-seat massage functionality, and a panoramic glass sunroof.
All three Kodiaq variants are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine coupled with a 7-speed DSG transmission and all-wheel drive. Each comes with a 7-year unlimited-kilometer warranty for added peace of mind.
