If you need room for a football team and their luggage, the Skoda Kodiaq is the grown‑up SUV — cavernous interior, composed long‑distance ride and clever storage touches that make family life embarrassingly easy. The VW Touran, by contrast, is the sharper, more city‑friendly people‑carrier with …

It really is the Swiss Army knife. Six people on holiday at a summer cottage including all their luggage. Or how about four people in the car plus a dishwasher standing in as baggage. Or five people, two of them in child seats plus two strollers in the back. And it's also super comfortable on long trips. You sit well and it has a nice interior. Today there's nothing comparable that can replace it. Oh, and it actually does the 16–17 km/l it's rated for.
