Pros	Cons

Quick Summary

The Skoda Kodiaq (2024-present) is a spacious and versatile large family SUV, now in its second generation. It offers a choice of petrol, diesel, and a new plug-in hybrid powertrain, with front or all-wheel drive and five or seven seats. The PHEV boasts an electric-only range of around 60 miles. Practicality is a standout feature, with up to 910 litres of boot space in five-seater petrol/diesel models, and 340 litres even with all seven seats in use, making it an excellent choice for families.

Driving dynamics are generally comfortable and refined at higher speeds, though the ride can feel firm over low-speed imperfections, particularly with larger wheels. All models are well-equipped, featuring a 13-inch infotainment screen, 10.25-inch digital driver's display, and wireless smartphone integration. Running costs are competitive, with the 1.5-litre petrol achieving around 40mpg and the diesel around 46mpg, while the PHEV offers significant fuel savings with regular charging.

Best for: Families needing exceptional space and versatility, buyers seeking a range of powertrains including a practical plug-in hybrid, and those looking for a well-equipped large SUV at a competitive price.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising a premium interior feel or dynamic, sporty handling like a BMW SUV, or those sensitive to a firmer ride at low speeds, especially on larger wheels.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Kodiaq if: You're a family needing exceptional space and versatility, seeking a range of powertrains including a practical plug-in hybrid, or looking for a well-equipped large SUV at a competitive price.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise a premium interior feel, dynamic handling, or are sensitive to a firmer ride at low speeds on larger wheels.

Competitive Position: The Skoda Kodiaq (2024-present) stands out in the large SUV segment for its exceptional practicality, versatile powertrain options (including a compelling PHEV), and competitive pricing. While it may not offer the premium interior materials of some rivals or the sharpest driving dynamics, its comfort, technology, and sheer spaciousness make it an excellent choice for families and those needing a highly functional and well-equipped seven-seater.
