The Czech car maker has also revealed the new Kodiaq will be available with a choice of engines including a plug-in hybrid.
In this week's instalment of Drive Time John Murdoch takes a look at the second generation of the very successful Skoda Kodiaq which arrives this summer with a choice of engines and five or seven seats. He also finds that the popular compact Renault Captur SUV is about to get a facelift with arrivals starting in the Autumn.
The free download features the latest breaking news and exclusive stories, and allows you to customise your page to the sections that matter most to you.The new Kodiaq will be available with five drivetrain choices, including the plug-in hybrid which will have an all-electric driving range of more than 62 miles and rapid DC charging.
It is automatic only with a shift-by-wire gear selector that moves to the steering column, freeing up space in the central console area. Similar in design to that Renault is using on its new Scenic, the Captur features a multi-faceted grille, a more horizontal bonnet and a new design for the headlights which will now be LED on all three trim levels.
