Skoda cuts $5K from Kodiaq SportLine

SKODA is now offering its Kodiaq SportLine mid-tier SUV for the same price as the existing Kodiaq Style as the Czech importer prepares for the imminent arrival of an all-new model.

Now available for the national drive-away price of $56,490, the seven-seat Skoda Kodiaq SportLine saves customers over $5000, offering what Skoda Australia says is “more metal for your money”.

Included as standard equipment in the Kodiaq SportLine grade are 20-inch alloy wheels, tyre pressure monitoring, Matrix LED headlights with adaptive high beam, Drive Mode select, black exterior highlights and rear badges, aluminium pedals, sports comfort seats with integrated head restraints, a power adjustable driver’s seat with memory, exterior mirror memory and passenger side tilt in reverse, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and steering wheel mounted paddle shifters.

Options for the Kodiaq SportLine include leather seats with front seat ventilation ($2300), and a panoramic sunroof ($1900).

A Run-Out pack is also available combining the previous Tech Pack and Luxury Pack.

Instead of paying $5400 for the two packages combined, for $4600 the Run-Out pack includes adaptive chassis control, Park Assist, power adjustable passenger seat, heated front and rear seats, tri-zone climate control, 360-degree camera, adaptive lane guidance, emergency assist, an off-road mode and sleep pack including 'airline' style rear headrest extensions.

Either a $2900 five-year/75,000km or $3350 seven-year/105,000km service pack is available. The latter works out at $414 per service including major intervals.

“Offering the Kodiaq SportLine for the same price as the Kodiaq Style follows the high value lead set by the Octavia SportLine offered for the same price as the Octavia Style,” explained Skoda Australia head of marketing and product Kieran Merrigan.

“In each segment, from a national $32,990 drive-away Kamiq Run-Out in the compact SUV class to the new $39,990 drive-away Karoq, the $42,490 drive-away Octavia SportLine and now the $56,490 drive-away Kodiaq SportLine – Skoda is providing the market with unbeatable value.

“When you look at national drive-away pricing, standard equipment, the European design and quality, seven-year warranty, affordable seven-year service packages, and guaranteed future value finance on every vehicle, Skoda’s value extends throughout each aspect of the purchase.”

Mr Merrigan said Skoda Choice provides transparent GFV pricing (available at the public website) that adapts and changes the weekly repayment in real time based on the level of specification and options that customers select on the website configurator.

The Kodiaq SportLine is available for $140 per week on a 6.99 per cent comparison rate, with a 20 per cent deposit on a four-year Term.

Customers can transparently adjust on the website calculator the term (up to five years), annual mileage and deposit, and the calculator will provide weekly repayments and a guaranteed future value of the vehicle.
