Skoda Kodiaq Select PHEV Launches at A$63,490 in Australia, Undercuts Kia Sorento PHEV on Price
  • In pricing context, the Kodiaq Select PHEV sits above the Outlander PHEV’s starting price of A$57,290 and below the Cupra Terramar VZe at A$77,990, with other Skoda models like the Enyaq and RS in consideration for the broader lineup.

  • This is a five-seat, front‑wheel‑drive PHEV due to battery packaging, with standard kit including 19‑inch wheels, heated mirrors, keyless entry, heated front seats, tri-zone climate control, twin wireless charging pads, and a 13.0‑inch infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.

  • Skoda offers a seven‑year/unlimited‑kilometre vehicle warranty and an eight‑year/160,000‑km high‑voltage battery warranty for the Kodiaq PHEV.

  • Charging supports 11 kW AC home charging and up to 50 kW DC fast charging.

  • New features at the Kodiaq lineup’s next update include mild-hybrid technology with a front-wheel-drive 1.5‑litre turbo petrol under a separate entry price.

  • The battery capacity is 25.7 kWh, supporting up to 11 kW AC and 50 kW DC charging, with a WLTP electric range of about 112 km and a combined consumption of around 1.85 L/100 km.

  • Skoda’s 2026 Kodiaq Select PHEV will start at A$63,490 before on-road costs in Australia, positioning it cheaper than the Kia Sorento PHEV.

  • The Kodiaq PHEV undercuts the Sorento PHEV on price but does not offer seven-seat practicality; it will be joined in Australia by the Superb PHEV and other Skoda EVs in 2025–26.

  • Under the hood, it pairs a 1.5‑litre petrol engine with an 85 kW electric motor, delivering a combined 150 kW and 350 Nm and an estimated 0–100 km/h time of 8.4 seconds.

  • The drivetrain combines a 1.5‑litre turbo petrol (110 kW, 250 Nm) with an 85 kW electric motor (330 Nm), feeding a 25.7 kWh battery for a combined 150 kW and 350 Nm.

  • An optional Signature Pack adds premium features such as a 360° camera, massage seats, head‑up display, eight‑way power‑massage seats, intelligent park assist and a surround‑view camera for about A$6,500.

  • The Kodiaq PHEV’s battery packaging limits it to five seats, unlike the petrol seven‑seat variant and the Sorento PHEV.
