Exterior design
The vehicle comes with some specific modifications to the appearance. These include a more rugged look with an elevated and striking bonnet design, restyled front grille, and new LED Matrix headlights.
Furthermore, the vehicle proudly demonstrates a new bumper design, a front body-colored front apron, and L-shaped finishing touches on the sides. The front spoiler is also redesigned and features an aluminum-effect trim which completes the front-face design.
At the rear, the diffuser features a similar design with a sculptured body-colored bumper. Below is the black-grained strip surrounded by two crystalline rear reflectors that emphasize the vehicle's muscular stance. The exterior design is completed by the black-grained side skirts and substantial wheel arches at the front and at the rear. Also, the new Kodiaq can be specified with alloy wheels measuring from 17 inches to 20 inches, depending on the trim level and buyer's personal preferences.

The two other petrol options include a 1.5 TSI with 150hp and 2.0 TSI with a total of 190hp.
