Skoda Kodiaq (2024-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Exceptional interior space and practicality	Interior quality feels less premium than the previous model
Available in petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid configurations	Ride comfort is compromised at low speeds, especially on larger wheels
Competitive pricing for a seven-seater SUV	Plug-in hybrid not available with seven seats

Quick Summary

The Skoda Kodiaq (2024-present) is a highly practical and spacious large family SUV, now in its second generation. It offers a wide range of powertrains including petrol, diesel, and a new plug-in hybrid variant with an electric-only range of around 60 real-world miles. Available with five or seven seats, and with front or all-wheel drive, it caters to diverse family needs, including a sporty vRS model with 261bhp.

Boot space is generous, with five-seater models offering up to 910 litres and seven-seaters providing 340 litres with all seats up, expanding to 845 litres with the third row folded. The interior is well-equipped with a 13-inch infotainment screen and digital driver's display, along with practical features like Smart Dials and ample storage. While generally comfortable, the ride can be firm on larger wheels, though adaptive suspension is an option. Running costs are competitive, with good fuel economy across the range, especially for the diesel and PHEV if regularly charged.

Best for: Large families needing exceptional space and practicality, buyers looking for a versatile SUV with a range of powertrain options (including PHEV), or those seeking a well-equipped seven-seater at a competitive price.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising a premium interior feel over practicality, those who desire a sportier, more engaging driving experience (like a BMW SUV), or those sensitive to a slightly firm ride on larger wheels.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Kodiaq if: You're a large family needing exceptional space and practicality, seeking a versatile SUV with diverse powertrain options (including PHEV), or looking for a well-equipped seven-seater at a competitive price.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise a premium interior feel, desire a sportier driving experience, or are sensitive to a slightly firm ride on larger wheels.

Competitive Position: The Skoda Kodiaq (2024-present) remains a top contender in the large family SUV segment, offering unparalleled practicality, a wide range of efficient powertrains, and competitive pricing. While it might not match some rivals for outright premium feel or dynamic handling, its comfort, versatility, and extensive standard equipment make it an excellent choice for families, especially those needing a roomy seven-seater or a functional plug-in hybrid.
