Available to order at Skoda retailers now with prices starting from £35,945, the L&K model features more creature comforts, safety systems and driver technology than the previous top model – the Kodiaq Edition. The new Kodiaq L&K is available with four engine options; one petrol and three diesels, with power outputs ranging from 148 bhp to 187 bhp. All feature all-wheel drive and are available with DSG transmissions or in the case of the 2.0 TDI 148 bhp 4×4 variant, a six-speed manual option.

Named in honour of the company’s founders, Václav Laurin and Václav Klement, the new Kodiaq L&K is the most luxurious SUV ever offered by Skoda. In terms of design, the Kodiaq L&K is distinguished from other models in the range by a chrome grille, 19-inch Sirius alloy wheels finished in anthracite and unique front and rear bumpers. Body-coloured under-door panels with distinctive L&K signature logos on the front wings complete the exterior design package.

There is a standard panoramic sunroof. The seats are trimmed in leather and alongside the armrest, feature an L&K logo. Piano black decorative trims further enhance the premium feel, as does the standard ambient lighting system and aluminium trimmed pedals.

Skoda says that while the new model commands a £2,550 premium over the Edition model, the cost of the individual options fitted to the L&K as standard would usually cost more than £3,000.
