This International Family Day, the Škoda Kodiaq stands out as a car designed for how families in the region actually live. Here are five reasons why.

True 7-seater practicality for real family life

In the GCC, cars often need to do more, from daily commutes to accommodating extended family. The Kodiaq offers up to seven seats, with a flexible layout that adapts to your day. Whether it’s school drop-offs, hosting visiting family, or loading up for a long weekend, the space works around you.

With 835 litres of boot space, it easily handles everything from strollers to travel luggage without compromise.

Built for GCC driving: power and efficiency

From highways to suburbs, performance matters.

The Kodiaq is available in the region with turbocharged engines (1.4L TSI and 2.0L TSI), offering a strong balance between efficiency for city driving and power for highways.

· Up to 190hp and 320 Nm torque for confident overtaking

· All-wheel drive (AWD) is available on selected trims

· Smooth 7-speed DSG transmission

It’s a setup that feels effortless, whether in traffic or on longer journeys.

Safety that supports everyday family driving

Driving in busy GCC cities requires constant awareness, and the Kodiaq is built to support that.

It comes equipped with a wide range of safety and driver assistance features as standard, including:

· 360° camera and parking assist for tight urban spaces

· Forward collision warning and lane assist

· ISOFIX child seat anchors and multiple airbags

Combined with its strong safety structure and 5-star Euro NCAP rating, it gives families peace of mind on every journey.

Comfort designed for the region

In the GCC, comfort isn’t optional; it’s essential.

The Kodiaq is designed to handle the region’s climate and lifestyle with:

· Multi-zone climate control to keep all passengers comfortable

· Spacious seating across all rows

· A refined, quiet cabin suited for long drives

· Front massaging seats on selected Trims

Whether it’s a short school run or a summer road trip, every passenger enjoys a more relaxed ride.

Simply Clever features that families actually use

What truly sets Škoda apart is how well it understands everyday life.

The Kodiaq is packed with “Simply Clever” details that solve real problems, from smart storage compartments and boot solutions to intuitive in-car technology, including a centrally positioned infotainment screen available in either 10” or 13” formats depending on trim, alongside features like 45W wired charging and 15W cooled wireless charging

These are the features you don’t think about until you need them, and then quickly come to rely on.

A family car that fits the GCC lifestyle

The Škoda Kodiaq is more than just a spacious SUV. It’s a car designed around how families in the region actually live, drive and travel.

With the right balance of space, safety, performance and thoughtful design, it delivers on what matters most: making everyday family life easier.
