The 2018 Skoda Kodiaq Sportline is now available in Australia, the new trim level is available on both the 132TSI and 140TSI Kodiaq variants with prices starting at $46,990 plus on-road costs.
 
Externally the Kodiaq Sportline gains 20-inch VEGA anthracite alloy wheels, blacked-out mirrors and roof rails, black window frames, black shine radiator grille frame as well as a signature Velvet Red colour which is shared with the Superb Sportline range.
 
Internally a sporty-flavour is evident with the addition of Alcantara sport seats with silver stitching, black roof headlining, aluminium brake and accelerator pedals, Alcantara door panel inserts, and paddles on the steering wheel.
 
There is also exclusive Sportline decorative front and rear door sill trims, a customisable performance monitor, driving mode selector, electrically adjustable driver seat with memory function and auto dimming folding side mirrors with memory function.
