The year 2024 marks a significant milestone for Skoda with the introduction of its first-ever Kodiaq Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). Joining the updated second-generation Kodiaq line-up, this large SUV is set to revolutionise the market with its advanced technology and impressive features. As we welcome this new addition, let’s dive into what makes the Kodiaq PHEV a standout choice for drivers.
A New Era for the Kodiaq Line-Up
For the first time, the Skoda Kodiaq is available as a PHEV, alongside mild hybrid and standard petrol variants. Priced from £41,935, this innovative SUV is designed to appeal particularly to fleet drivers, combining efficiency and power in a sleek package.
Advanced Hybrid Technology
The Kodiaq PHEV features a second-generation plug-in hybrid system, similar to other models in the Skoda and Volkswagen Group families. This system pairs a 150hp four-cylinder turbocharged 1.5 TSI engine with a 116hp three-phase electric motor, integrated into the DQ400e DSG gearbox. Together, they deliver a combined output of up to 204hp, providing a smooth and powerful driving experience.
Impressive Electric Range
With a larger 25.7kWh battery, the Kodiaq PHEV offers an all-electric range of up to 75 miles, making it perfect for daily commutes and short trips. For longer journeys, the petrol engine can operate in hybrid mode, working alongside the electric motor to maximise efficiency.
Fast and Convenient Charging
Charging the Kodiaq PHEV is both quick and convenient. The vehicle supports DC rapid charging at speeds up to 50kW, allowing the battery to charge from 10% to 80% in just 26 minutes. Alternatively, it can be charged at up to 11kW via an AC supply, achieving a full charge in around 2.5 hours.
Versatile Driving Modes
The Kodiaq PHEV comes with a six-speed DSG gearbox and offers three hybrid driving modes:
- Electric-only drive: For emission-free journeys
- Hybrid mode: Balances electric and petrol power for optimal efficiency
- Sport mode: Delivers maximum performance with up to 204hp and 350Nm of torque
