Street Stance and Family-Friendly Looks

The Kodiaq sits like a grown-up family SUV with a confident, upright stance and sharp Skoda face that avoids flashy gimmicks; at just under 4.76 m in length (4,758 mm) and 1.86 m wide it looks substantial without being oversized. Clean lines, a broad grille and available 19–21-inch wheels give a presence that reads practical and premium at the same time. Proportions are sensible rather than sporty, so the Kodiaq feels composed in town and on the motorway. Practical details such as elevated ride height and short overhangs also help when loading a pram or reversing into tight spaces.

Cabin Quality That Keeps Things Simple

Inside the Kodiaq the focus is on usability: materials are solid and finishes are neat, with harder plastics in less visible areas and softer surfaces where hands rest, plus clear, logical switchgear. The dashboard layout prioritises straightforward controls over gimmicky menus, while digital instrument clusters and central touchscreens are available in larger sizes for easier reading. Comfort is good for long stretches thanks to supportive seats and a quiet cabin, though a fully loaded PHEV or RS can feel heavier on the move. Five-seat configuration is standard, and fit-and-finish generally competes well with class rivals at similar price points.

Boots, Boxes and Real-World Space

Space is the Kodiaq's strong suit: luggage capacity sits around 745 litres with the rear seats up on the standard setup, expanding to well over 1,900 litres with seats folded flat depending on the version, so weekly shopping, suitcases and a folding bike all fit without creative Tetris. The usable cabin is long on clever details — large door bins, under-floor storage and optional roof rails — and payload figures near 500–545 kg mean the car copes with family kit and holiday gear. Tall passengers will find rear-seat headroom generous and access is easy thanks to wide-opening doors. For those needing occasional third-row use, some configurations offer extra seats, but the five-seat layout is the most comfortable for adults.

Composed Ride, Predictable Handling

The Kodiaq prioritises comfort and composure over sharp handling, with suspension tuned to absorb bumps and keep occupants settled on long journeys, though cornering body roll is noticeable if driven enthusiastically. All-wheel drive is available and helps traction in poor weather or on loose surfaces, while kerb weights ranging from about 1,684 to nearly 1,970 kg explain the calm, planted feel and the need to be smooth with inputs. Performance spans from relaxed to brisk depending on engine choice: typical 2.0 TSI variants offer around 204 hp with 0–100 km/h times in the mid-to-high sevens, while the RS pushes nearer to the mid-six-second mark for those wanting real pace. Steering is accurate rather than tactile, which suits family duties where predictability is more important than sportiness.

Running Costs, Electric Range and Practical Fuel Choices

The Kodiaq line covers plug-in hybrids, mild-hybrids, petrol and diesel options, with outputs from roughly 150 to 265 hp and real-world fuel use that reflects the chosen powertrain: PHEHs can report combined figures as low as 0.4–0.5 L/100 km with electric ranges around 113–123 km from a 19.7 kWh battery, ideal for short commutes and city driving without petrol use. Petrol 2.0 TSI engines typically consume in the mid-to-high 7 L/100 km area in mixed driving while the RS is closer to 8.2 L/100 km, and diesels return the best long-distance economy at roughly 5.3–6.1 L/100 km. In everyday terms the PHEV suits buyers who can charge regularly, diesel suits high-mileage drivers, and petrols are the middle ground for balanced use. Consideration of payload and vehicle weight is important, as heavier configurations will lift consumption and flatten acceleration slightly.

Assistance That Does the Heavy Lifting

Driver aids are comprehensive and include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist and parking assists that make motorway miles and tight car parks easier, with safety systems well-executed rather than intrusive. The infotainment setup supports smartphone integration and offers clear graphics, while over-the-air updates and connected services are available on higher trims to keep maps and services current. Voice control and wireless charging are sensible options that remove small daily annoyances. The tech package is aimed at convenience and safety first, with a few premium touches available for tech-minded buyers.

Who Buys a Kodiaq and Why It Works

The Kodiaq targets families and buyers who prioritise space, versatility and sensible running costs over sporty thrills; it suits households needing a roomy boot, comfortable long-distance manners and a range of efficient powertrains from PHEV to diesel. Those wanting occasional performance can step up to the RS for sharper acceleration, while commuters who can charge will see the biggest benefit from the PHEV variants with their long electric range. Overall the Kodiaq is a practical, well-rounded choice that emphasises functionality and value for money without trying to be something it is not. Strong practicality and a broad model spread make it a safe pick for most family buyers.
