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.
Skoda Kodiaq
VW Tayron
VS
The Skoda Kodiaq is the no-nonsense family hauler: cavernous boot, clever storage, and a sensible price that makes sense when you’ve got kids and a budget. The VW Tayron trades some of that practicality for sharper looks, a firmer ride and smarter tech — pick it if you want a touch more polish and driving pep, but the Kodiaq will still win the school run.
