Skoda has expanded its premium SUV lineup in India by introducing a new variant of the Kodiaq called the Lounge.
Priced at ₹39.99 lakh (ex-showroom), this is now the most affordable option in the Kodiaq range.
It is designed for buyers who want premium features but at a lower price.
Key Highlights of Kodiaq Lounge
Affordable Price: The Lounge is ₹3.75 lakh cheaper than the Sportline variant and nearly ₹6 lakh less than the top-end Laurin & Klement (L&K).

Powerful Engine: It uses the same 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine with a DSG gearbox, ensuring no compromise on performance.
