Skoda Kodiaq Lounge Engine & Performance

Mechanically, the Kodiaq Lounge remains unchanged. It uses the same 2.0-litre TSI turbo-petrol engine:

• Power: 201 BHP
• Torque: 210 Nm
• Transmission: 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic
• Drivetrain: All-wheel drive (AWD)

This makes the Kodiaq Lounge a capable premium SUV with the same performance as the higher trims, but at a more accessible price.
