Skoda Kodiaq SE TEchnology is Skoda’s pitch for businesses

The Skoda Kodiaq SE Technology arrives a a new trim level for Skoda’s new Kodiaq SUV, aimed at business buyers and offering low running costs and technology.

More than a year ago, before the Skoda Kodiaq SUV was launched, Skoda made it clear that the Kodiaq SUV would be a big hit with company directors and managers, and today they launch their pitch for that marker – the Skoda Kodiaq SE Technology.

The Kodiaq SE Technology, according to Skoda, offers “Competitive Whole Life Costs for fleets and low running costs for drivers” as well as “Innovative technology as standard” as they pitch for the hearts and minds of business buyers.

Powered by Skoda’s 2.0 litre TDI 150 PS, and with a DSG gearbox for easier driving, the SE Technology emits 131g/km, has a P11D value of £26,800 and a BIK rate of 28 per cent. It also has a low rate of VED and greater fuel efficiency than its leading competitors.

Technology stuff to ease the pain of moving from one meeting to another includes Skoda’s Connect with Infotainment Online, Sat Nav, traffic reports, and syncing for calendar updates, as well as Adaptive Cruise as an option.

There’s a choice of a five or seven seat version, lots of room for ‘stuff’, parking sensors and autonomous emergency braking.

Henry Williams, Skoda’s Fleet boss, said:

We’re already seeing excellent growth in fleet channels, and the Kodiaq is an important addition to our fleet model range for 2017. The overwhelming interest we have had in Kodiaq proves the car’s mix of smart tech, safety kit and sleek design is appealing and combined with competitive Whole Life Costs, makes it the perfect fit for business.

If Skoda’s pitch puts the Kodiaq SE Technology on your list of possible company cars, it’s now on sale from £26,860 for the five seat version and £27,860 for the seven seater.
