Škoda sweetens the deal with $5000 additional spec

ŠKODA IS CONTINUING TO REINFORCE its unique combination of European design and quality, more metal for the money and easy ownership with the announcement of the Škoda Kodiaq SportLine for the same price as the existing Kodiaq Style.

Priced from a national $56,490 driveaway, the Kodiaq SportLine offer saves customers $5,000 (Škoda figures) over the existing Kodiaq Style, while offering seven-seat large SUV customers substantial additional specification and unbeatable value.

Complimentary specification includes 20-inch alloy wheels, individual-tyre pressure monitoring, Matrix LED headlamps with adaptive high beam, Drive Mode Select including Sport mode, black exterior styling and rear badges, aluminium pedals, sports comfort front seats with integrated headrests, power adjustable driver’s seat with memory, exterior mirror memory and passenger-side tilt in reverse, auto-dimming rear-view mirror and steering wheel mounted paddleshifters.

Škoda Australia head of marketing and product Kieran Merrigan said the Kodiaq SportLine offer emphasises the ‘Simply Clever’ brand’s unbeatable buying and ownership experience combined with trademark packaging excellence and European quality.

“Offering the Kodiaq SportLine for the same price as the Kodiaq Style follows the high value lead set by the Octavia SportLine offered for the same price as the Octavia Style,” Mr Merrigan said.

“In each segment, from a national $32,990 driveaway Kamiq Run-Out in the compact SUV class to the new $39,990 driveaway Karoq, the $42,490 driveaway Octavia SportLine and now the $56,490 driveaway Kodiaq SportLine – Škoda is providing the market with unbeatable value.”

“When you look at national drive-away pricing, standard equipment, the European design and quality, seven-year warranty, affordable seven-year service packages, and guaranteed future value (GFV) finance on every vehicle, Škoda’s value extends throughout each aspect of the purchase.”

Škoda Choice provides transparent GFV pricing at skoda.com.au that adapts and changes the weekly repayment in real time based on the level of specification and options that customers select on the website configurator. The Kodiaq SportLine is available for $140 per week on a 6.99 percent comparison rate, with a 20 percent deposit on a four-year term. Customers can transparently adjust on the website calculator the term (up to five years), annual mileage and deposit, and the calculator will provide weekly repayments and a guaranteed future value of the vehicle.

Options for the Kodiaq SportLine includes leather seats with front seat ventilation ($2300), and a panoramic sunroof ($1900).

A Run-Out pack is also available combining the previous Tech Pack and Luxury Pack: instead of paying $5400 for the two packages combined, for $4600 the Run-Out pack includes adaptive chassis control, Park Assist, power adjustable passenger seat, heated front and rear seats, tri-zone climate control, 360-degree camera, adaptive lane guidance, emergency assist, an off-road mode and sleep pack including ‘airline’ style rear headrest extensions.

Either a $2900 Five Year/75,000km or $3350 Seven Year/105,000km Service Pack is available. The latter works out at just $414 per service including major intervals.
