A FLAGSHIP L&K specification is joining the Skoda Kodiaq line up.

Named after brand founders Vaclav Laurin and Vaclav Klement, the new edition offers one of the most comprehensive specification lists in the Skoda range.

The new L&K model will sit above the current SE L version in the updated Kodiaq line-up and will be available with three drivetrain options.

All-wheel drive models are offered with a 2.0 TSI 204ps engine or a 2.0 TDI that generates 193ps. Both are equipped with a seven-speed DSG gearbox as standard.

For the first time, the range-topping L&K model will be available to order with a plug-in hybrid engine option in the form of the brand's 1.5 TSI iV 204ps DSG drivetrain. Capable of driving up to 71 miles in electric mode, the new model will also be the most fuel-efficient Kodiaq L&K to date.

Like the first-generation model, the new Kodiaq L&K delivers a first class travelling experience for up to seven passengers.

Front seat passengers get electrically adjustable seats with memory, massage function and ventilation, while those in the back can also keep warm with standard heated rear seats.

Elsewhere, the Kodiaq L&K features a heated windscreen, aluminium pedals, variable boot floor, and exclusive L&K floor mats.

In terms of exterior design and technology, the Kodiaq L&K sits on 20-inch alloy wheels and features running boards and bespoke L&K badging as standard. Adaptive cruise control, area view camera, trained parking and remote park assist are also part of the L&K's specification, along with Virtual Pedal electric boot opening, head up display and a CANTON sound system.

The 2.0 TSI 204ps and 2.0 TDI 193ps models are equipped with seven-seat layouts as standard, while the 1.5 TSI 204ps is available in five-seat form only.

In the seven-seat models, the boot offers 340 litres with all three rows deployed, expanding to 2,035 litres when both rear rows are folded down.

Prices start from £48,985 for the five-seat 1.5-litre L&K model with the seven-seat 2.0-litre costing from £51,460. The diesel version of the seven-seater is priced from £53,230.
