Skoda Kodiaq Bookings Re-Open, Deliveries in 1st Quarter 2023
Skoda has opened the bookings for the Kodiaq today. Skoda had earlier launched the facelifted Kodiaq 7 seat luxury SUV this year, but had to stop taking bookings after the entire year’s production of 1,000-1,200 units were booked in just days after its launch. Now with reopening the bookings for the facelifted Kodiaq, Skoda plans to start deliveries for them starting first quarter of 2023.

I am happy to share that we are opening bookings for Q1 2023, and will announce phase-wise booking windows for the rest of the 2023 volumes. While the SLAVIA and KUSHAQ are enabling us to make 2022 the Biggest Year for ŠKODA in India, the outstanding response to the KODIAQ shows that customers look at ŠKODA as the ultimate in value luxury.”
