Skoda Kodiaq Lounge: Features
{{/usCountry}}Because the Lounge is the base trim of the Kodiaq, it misses out on a few features. The infotainment system is now a smaller 10.4-inch unit, but it still gets wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. However, Skoda continues to offer a digital driver's display. There is no 360-degree parking camera and gesture control for the electric tailgate. But you continue to get a sliding panoramic sunroof, tri-zone climate control, rear parking camera and cruise control. The infotainment system is connected to a 100 W 9 speaker system instead of 750 W 13 speakers with a subwoofer.
Skoda Kodiaq Lounge: Exterior
In terms of exterior, a few of the elements are finished in dark chrome. There are 18-inch Mazeno alloy wheels. Apart from this, there is a rear spoiler, gloss black for the window frames and roof rails.
