Afternoon all,

 

ive fallen in love with the Kodiaq, and am determined to order one soon... however, I think I’d really like to go for the sport line option, as I think it looks rather splendid. 

 

Does anyone one have any idea when it may be available to order in the UK... I’m concerned if I order the Edition, they’ll release it the next day! Ha 

 

the dealer is suggesting it won’t be available until the middle of next year... but my spidey sense is telling me he’s just looking to get the sale done! 

 

any help greatly appreciated,

 

Michael

Its hard to get a solid answer on this. In Ireland, the Sportline is already on the configurator -  http://cc-cloud.skoda-auto.com/IRL/IRL/en-IE .

 

When questioned, my dealer said March/end quarter 1 of 2018 was the "launch" with the car hitting Irish shores in July. You guys in the UK might be ahead of us but I doubt you would wait longer.

Thanks for the swift reply. I’ll have a look over the Irish configurator later! 

 

Strange it’s showing but can’t be ordered, no? 

 

I think it was in October that I asked so it may have changed. The pricelist with specifications on the Skoda Ireland site has it and also has the Kodiak Scout on it (as the most expensive model too).

 

I'm not sure how accurate or correct the list is though - they have the "Sportline" at the same price as the Ambition and that is wrong - there is no way they are giving away sunroofs and all the other kit just for ticking the sportline box.

Those 2.0TDI are going to have the VED in the UK for the first year go from £200 to £500 on or after the 6th April 2018 when first registered.

 

Surely for the UK a Sportline will be available as a Petrol with more than 150ps,

 one might expect a 190 ps or it would be another Skoda trim level model with show and not much go.

Seems all the enhancements are cosmetic.

 

More aggressive front bumper, black pack (grill, door mirror caps, roof bars and window surrounds) and extra colour coding (lower front and rear bumper and door bottoms) plus the same fake exhaust trims seen on the MkIII Superb and optional unique 20" Sportline alloys (as pictured).

 

Enough to make it look a bit more special though...

I would have happily paid extra for the black treatment if available here...

Got to love SUK...emailed them twice about Sportline availability with no reply...

If you search for pricing the base model comes in at £31,500 but not sure how reliable that info is..

Ordering opened for this today. Updated price lists went out to dealers. Prices start £32,685.

Have you tried looking HERE?????    

http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/skoda/kodiaq/98435/sporty-skoda-kodiaq-sportline-suv-uk-prices-

 

Looks like they have made it 4x4 across the range of Sportlines with you guys in the UK and 20" wheels. We get the sliding sunroof as standard so that we can get wet any time we want.

 

Here in Ireland, the pricelists show Sportlines with 19" Triglav anthracites as standard, we just get the 1.4  150bhp Petrol with 2WD (no 2.0 Tsi) . 2WD and 4x4 are on the 2.0 Diesels. You can have manual & 4x4, DSG, or DSG and 4x4 on those, depending on whether you opt for 5 or 7 seaters. Diesel is still King here.

The BIK level for the basic 1.4 Sportline has made the decision for me to go for a 2WD diesel SEL. Shame as the styling and spec is just what I wanted for my next company car.

Nice of skoda to keep the launch a secret from their potential customers, as usual.

 

Anyway unless they launch a decent engine with a manual gearbox, I'm not interested.

The most powerful manual Kodiaq Sportline we can get here are the 150 petrol (1.4 Tsi) and 150 diesel 2.0 Tdi.

 

At least with the Superb III Sportline you can get the 190 Tdi in manual. 

 

Here you go guys.

 

 

That's quite some thread revival, the SportLine is now readily available...

 

But what do you think about the interior ...? not so good I think, better in Laurin Klement version

https://www.skoda-storyboard.com/en/models/kodiaq/meet-skoda-kodiaq-sportline/

The only significant advantge of the SportLine interior is the fronts seats, the rest is standard Kodiaq.

 

It gets dark headlining and alcantara door panels but these are all available on other models.

 

The seats are usually enough to convince most people though, I've not found anyone who doesn't like them!

They are?

Leather panels a cost option on the SE L and Edition, alcantara panels are standard on the Scout.

 

 

Black headlining 'might' be on the Scout, I'll know for sure in a few weeks...

I thought you were trying to say they were available as options on other models... whereas what you really meant was alcantara door panels and (possibly) dark headlining are also standard on the Scout. 

 

I was thinking I had missed the option of getting dark headlining on my Edition. Although after two cars with it, I'm actually quite enjoying the brightness of not having it.
