5-Seater Configuration with Premium Interior Features

Skoda Kodiaq Lounge

The 2025 Skoda Kodiaq Lounge variation is only available in a five-seat configuration, as opposed to the standard model’s seven seats. Customers can select from three exterior color finishes: Moon White, Magic Black, and Graphite Grey, while the interior includes a variety of high-end features like as a 10.4-inch touchscreen system.

Comfort and Convenience Enhancements

A set of 18-inch alloy wheels, rear blinds, a two-spoke multifunctional steering wheel, smart dials, matte dark chrome exterior finishes, roof rails, a three-zone automatic climate control system, cruise control, drive modes, USB-C charging ports, and a 10.25-inch instrument cluster are a few more features that buyers will receive.

Target Audience and Engine Details

Skoda is obviously targeting customers who want the Kodiaq badge and its premium credentials without going over budget, as the Lounge has a starting price that is slightly less than Rs. 3.75 lakh less than the Sportline and more appealing in terms of pricing than the L&K. It also uses the same 2.0L turbo petrol engine with a DSG.

Missing Features Compared to Higher Trims

Although it is about Rs. 3.75 lakh less expensive than Sportline and almost Rs. 6 lakh less expensive than top-spec L&K, there are undoubtedly some omissions when compared to the more expensive trims. The 360-degree camera, intelligent park assist, illuminated grille, virtual tailgate pedal, driver drowsiness monitoring, and Canton sound system are all absent from the Lounge.

PPX Saying

The launch of the Skoda Kodiaq Lounge at ₹39.99 lakh makes the premium SUV more accessible to buyers looking for a balance of luxury and practicality. While it misses out on some high-end features from the upper trims, its competitive pricing, refined 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, and comfortable 5-seater layout make it a strong entry point into the Kodiaq lineup. With its sleek design and essential features intact, the Lounge variant could appeal to urban families who prioritize value along with Skoda’s solid build and driving dynamics.
