Quick Summary

The Skoda Kodiaq (2024-present) is a highly practical and spacious large family SUV that excels in delivering comfort, value, and versatility. The second-generation model offers exceptional interior space with up to 910 litres of boot capacity in five-seater form, or flexible seven-seat configurations with 845 litres with all seats in place. It comes with a choice of powertrains: a 1.5-litre TSI petrol with mild hybrid technology producing 148bhp, a 2.0-litre TDI diesel available in 148bhp or 190bhp all-wheel-drive variants, or a plug-in hybrid combining a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor offering around 60 miles of real-world electric range. The range-topping vRS variant features a 261bhp turbocharged petrol engine with four-wheel drive.

The Kodiaq is well-equipped across all trims with modern technology including a 13.0-inch infotainment screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and comprehensive storage solutions. Whilst it may not offer the premium feel of rivals such as the Volkswagen Tiguan or Hyundai Santa Fe, or the dynamic edge of sportier alternatives, the Kodiaq delivers excellent practicality and competitive pricing. Fuel economy ranges from around 40mpg for the petrol to 46mpg for the diesel, with the plug-in hybrid ideal for regular charging. Running costs are reasonable, though most models exceed the £40,000 threshold for premium car tax. The optional adaptive suspension (DCC) significantly improves ride quality, particularly on larger wheels.

Best for: Families needing spacious seven-seat accommodation, those seeking practical and versatile SUV transport, buyers prioritising value for money, and company car drivers considering the plug-in hybrid option.

Not ideal for: Buyers seeking premium interior materials, those prioritising dynamic driving characteristics, or those unable to regularly charge a plug-in hybrid model.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Kodiaq if: You need spacious seven-seat accommodation, seek practical and versatile SUV transport, prioritise value for money, or are a company car driver considering the plug-in hybrid option.

Consider alternatives if: You desire premium interior materials, prioritise dynamic driving characteristics, or cannot regularly charge a plug-in hybrid model.

Competitive Position: The Skoda Kodiaq (2024-present) is a strong contender in the large family SUV market, offering exceptional practicality, spacious accommodation, and competitive pricing. Whilst the Kia Sorento edges ahead with a five-star expert rating and the Nissan X-Trail scores marginally higher with users, the Kodiaq remains an excellent choice for families seeking versatility and value. It may not match the premium feel of rivals like the Volkswagen Tiguan or Hyundai Santa Fe, or the dynamic edge of sportier alternatives, but its combination of space, flexibility, and affordability makes it a highly sensible and practical option for most buyers.
