There are two new vehicles to look out for from the VW group coming our way — the new Skoda Kodiaq and the Volkswagen Tiguan R Line. Both companies have released enough teasers to keep potential customers excited and the former will be launched on April 17, while the Tiguan R Line will be officially launched on April 14.

The Skoda Kodiaq will be sold in India as CKD units while the Tiguan R Line will be sold as CBUs. That said, the two SUVs will be premium offerings and through various teasers, we know that the Kodiaq will be available in two variants: Laurin & Klement (L&K) and Sportline.
