Skoda is all set to bring the second generation model of its Kodiaq SUV to the Indian market by mid-2025. The new Kodiaq will arrive here after the first-generation model runs out of stock. Although the design of the upcoming car is unique, it nevertheless incorporates some of its predecessor's iconic style elements.
