Quick Summary

The Skoda Kodiaq (2024-present) is a highly practical and spacious large family SUV that excels in delivering comfort, value, and versatility. Available in five or seven-seat configurations, it offers petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid powertrains to suit different needs. The 1.5-litre TSI petrol provides adequate performance with around 40mpg, whilst the 2.0-litre TDI diesel achieves real-world 46mpg for those covering longer distances. The plug-in hybrid combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine with electric power, offering approximately 60 miles of electric-only range and supporting rapid charging. The range-topping vRS model delivers 261bhp and completes 0-62mph in 6.4 seconds.

Boot space is generous, with five-seater models offering up to 910 litres and seven-seater versions providing 845 litres with five seats in place. The Kodiaq is well-equipped across all trims, featuring a 13.0-inch infotainment screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and excellent interior storage. Whilst the ride can feel firm at low speeds on larger wheels, the optional adaptive suspension (DCC) significantly improves comfort. Pricing starts under £40,000, making it competitive against rivals, though most versions exceed this threshold and incur premium car tax. The Kodiaq represents an excellent choice for families seeking a spacious, practical, and affordable seven-seater SUV.

Best for: Families needing a spacious seven-seater SUV, those seeking excellent practicality and value, and drivers wanting flexibility with multiple powertrain options including plug-in hybrid.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising premium interior materials, those seeking dynamic driving characteristics, or those requiring plug-in hybrid with seven seats.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Kodiaq if: You need a spacious seven-seater SUV, seek excellent practicality and value, or want flexibility with multiple powertrain options including plug-in hybrid.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise premium interior materials, seek dynamic driving characteristics, or require plug-in hybrid with seven seats.

Competitive Position: The Skoda Kodiaq (2024-present) is a strong contender in the large family SUV market, offering exceptional practicality, generous space, and competitive pricing. Whilst the Kia Sorento edges ahead with a higher expert rating and the Nissan X-Trail offers superior user satisfaction, the Kodiaq delivers excellent value and versatility. It may not match the premium feel of rivals such as the Volkswagen Tiguan or Hyundai Santa Fe, or the dynamic edge of sportier alternatives from BMW, but it excels in comfort, practicality, and affordability, making it an outstanding choice for families seeking a spacious and well-equipped seven-seater SUV.
