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 that delivers exceptional versatility. Available as a five-seater or seven-seater, it offers generous boot space ranging from 745 to 910 litres depending on configuration. The second-generation model provides multiple powertrain options including a 1.5-litre petrol with mild hybrid technology, a 2.0-litre diesel for efficiency, and a plug-in hybrid with up to 60 miles of electric-only range. The range-topping vRS variant features a 261bhp turbocharged petrol engine with all-wheel drive, delivering 0-62mph in 6.4 seconds.

Comfort and practicality are the Kodiaq's strongest suits, with well-designed seating, ample storage, and thoughtful features throughout. The 1.5-litre petrol achieves around 40mpg in mixed driving, whilst the diesel delivers real-world 46mpg, making it ideal for motorway journeys. Pricing starts under £40,000, offering competitive value in the large SUV segment. However, interior materials feel less premium than the previous generation, and ride comfort can be compromised at low speeds, particularly on larger wheels. The optional adaptive suspension (DCC) significantly improves ride quality and is worth considering.

Best for: Families needing spacious seven-seat accommodation, those seeking versatile powertrain options including plug-in hybrid technology, and buyers prioritising practicality and value over premium badge appeal.

Not ideal for: Those wanting premium interior quality comparable to rivals like the Volkswagen Tiguan or Hyundai Santa Fe, drivers prioritising dynamic handling, or those requiring plug-in hybrid with seven seats as standard.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Kodiaq if: You need spacious seven-seat accommodation, seek versatile powertrain options including plug-in hybrid technology, or prioritise practicality and value over premium badge appeal.

Consider alternatives if: You want premium interior quality comparable to rivals, prioritise dynamic handling, or require plug-in hybrid with seven seats as standard.

Competitive Position: The Skoda Kodiaq (2024-present) is a strong contender in the large family SUV market, offering exceptional practicality, spaciousness, and competitive pricing. Whilst the Kia Sorento edges ahead with a higher expert rating and the Hyundai Santa Fe offers more premium appeal, the Kodiaq excels in delivering versatile powertrain options and outstanding value. Its seven-seat flexibility, generous boot space, and choice of petrol, diesel, or plug-in hybrid engines make it an excellent choice for families seeking practicality without premium pricing. The optional adaptive suspension significantly enhances ride quality, making it a sensible investment for those prioritising comfort.
