Skoda Kodiaq
Dacia Bigster
VS
The Skoda Kodiaq is the sensible grown-up: roomy, cleverly packaged and quietly refined for family life, while the Dacia Bigster bangs the value drum — massive interior and tough price tag, but fewer niceties. Choose the Kodiaq for long-term polish and smarter detailing; pick the Bigster if you want maximum space and minimum spend — just don’t expect leather and laser-cut precision.
Mercedes GLB
Skoda Kodiaq
VS
The Mercedes GLB dresses up compact practicality in a premium suit, with crisp tech and city-friendly manners, while the Skoda Kodiaq goes full-on family hauler, offering cavernous space and sensible value. Choose the GLB for style and badge appeal; pick the Kodiaq if you need seats, luggage and a boot that could double as a small country.
