Skoda Kodiaq Edition X marks 10 years anniversary of big SUV

• Tenth anniversary edition of Skoda's flagship SUV
• Based on SE L trim but costs less
• Matrix LED headlights and 19-inch wheels as standard
• Priced from £40,590

Skoda is celebrating ten years of its big SUV, the Kodiaq, with a special-edition model called the Kodiaq Edition X.

Now in its second generation, the Kodiaq is a fine large family SUV with a choice of five or seven seats. The new seven-seat Edition X model is based on the mid-spec SE L trim but adds more standard features to boost it into the more swanky end of the range.

Priced from just over £40,000, the Kodiaq Edition X rides on 19-inch anthracite-coloured alloy wheels, includes metallic paint and matrid LED headlights as standard and has additional exterior styling elements, including a black D pillar, a dark chrome front grille and chrome roof rails. There's rear tinted glass as standard, the front grille has a horizontal light strip, and there's a red decorative strip betweem the rear lights.

Inside, you'll find perforated black leather and artificial leather upholstery with a grey dashboard. The driver gets an electrically adjustable seat with memory function.

Power comes from a mild-hybrid 1.5-litre TSI e-Tec petrol lengine with 150PS, and a seven-speed automatic transmission.

You can order the Skoda Kodiaq X from 16 April, with the first deliveries expected in the late spring. The price is £40,590, which is less than £700 over the standard SE model and less than the SE L, which costs from £42,660. It's a limited edition, although Skoda hasn't said exactly how limited it is.
