Skoda has discreetly introduced an important update to the Kodiaq in the form of a ADAS suite. With this, Kodiaq has become the only Skoda in India to offer this safety feature, which is already offered in a lot of its rivals, including the Volkswagen Tayron, Tiguan R-Line, Hyundai Tucson, Jeep Meridian and MG Hector. The addition of ADAS in the 2026 Kodiaq marks an imperative milestone for the brand. The package include features such as as adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and emergency braking, which are becoming increasingly desirable for safer highway driving and family road trips. While prices for the updated Kodiaq are yet to be announced, the ADAS functionality is available on select variants.
2026 Skoda Kodiaq: Which Variants Get ADAS?
Skoda has followed a very strategic
and selective approach for the introduction of a much-awaited ADAS feature in its flagship SUV. The sportier seven-seat Sportline and the top-of-the-line Laurin & Klement (L&K) variants are available with the full ADAS package, which includes rear cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, emergency braking, exit warning, lane keep assist, and blindspot monitor. The entry-level Lounge variant, which comes with a five-seat configuration, misses out on the advanced safety suite.

Besides ADAS, the 2026 iteration of the Kodiaq SUV has also seen several notable upgrades. For instance, the Kodiaq Sportline now sports an illuminated LED strip integrated into the grille. It also comes with a 360-degree camera. Until now, both of these features were available only on the the range-topping Selection L&K trim.
