The Skoda Kodiaq is one of the best large SUVs you can buy, thanks to a winning combination of practicality and value for money. It has become a huge success for Skoda, helping make SUVs a major part of the brand’s range.
There is no shortage of competitors to challenge the Skod Kodiaq. Both the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace and SEAT Tarraco share the same underpinnings as the Skoda, and all offer seven seats. Both the Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe provide similar space, while Peugeot’s impressive 5008 is another contender, too.

The Skoda Kodiaq is an eminently usable and affordable large SUV, offering space for up to seven people, but without the large price tag associated with more ‘premium’ rivals.
While the Skoda Kodiaq isn’t the very largest SUV in its class, it still occupies a lot of real estate on the road. This does, however, translate into plenty of space on the inside. Front-seat passengers get the premium experience, with acres of headroom and legroom. Things are fairly decent in the second row, and only the tallest passengers in the third row of seven-seat models will feel cramped.
It’s worth noting that, with all seven seats in use, the boot space shrinks to only 270 litres. This does mean a trade-off between hauling passengers and luggage.
There certainly isn’t a budget feel to the Skoda Kodiaq’s cabin, with materials more than good enough to be found inside the related Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace. Higher-specification models, notably the Skoda Kodiaq Laurin & Klement, feel genuinely luxurious, helped by standard beige leather upholstery.
On the road, the Skoda Kodiaq feels slick and polished, fitting its role as family transport. The ride can feel a little firm on models with the largest alloy wheels but, in general, the Skoda Kodiaq absorbs bumps and broken tarmac with ease. The diesel engines work best with the Skoda Kodiaq’s SUV role, and result in improved fuel economy versus the petrol models.
We think the Skoda Kodiaq has very few flaws. The third row of seats might not be large, but they are more than sufficient for kids. Beyond that, the Skoda Kodiaq manages to deliver better value than the related Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace or SEAT Tarraco. The Skoda Kodiaq has played an important role in Skoda’s image transformation, but it has not forgotten the brand’s core values of practicality and affordability.
A Skoda Kodiaq not for you? We've got 1000s of used cars for sale to suit all budgets and needs.
We like the 2.0-litre diesel in the Skoda Kodiaq, although it won’t suit everyone. If you cover high motorway miles or need to tow a caravan, it’s undoubtedly the engine of choice. The 150PS version is fine, but go for the 190PS if you’d like a little extra power. Otherwise, look for a petrol. The 1.5 might feel a little underpowered at times but it’s refined and cheap to run, while the 2.0 is punchier yet not exactly frugal.
In terms of trim level, there’s no shortage of models for you to choose from. We’d avoid the cheapest S model - it’s pretty basic and didn’t sell in huge numbers before it was withdrawn from sale. A Skoda Kodiaq SE Technology, SE Drive or SE L will tick all the boxes for most buyers without being too expensive. That said, some of the pricier models are very nice indeed, particularly the top-spec Kodiaq L&K. There is also the sporty Skoda Kodiaq vRS.
As of 2021, the cheapest Skoda Kodiaqs were ditched and the trim levels were simplified. Base SE Drive or SE L trim remained the best options in terms of affordability versus kit.
The Skoda Kodiaq is offered with a choice of engines, split between petrol and diesel. There are no hybrid or plug-in hybrid options available. A six-speed manual gearbox is standard for certain engines, although a seven-speed dual-clutch DSG automatic is also available.
The Skoda Kodiaq comes in a choice of different trim levels, with luxury and high-performance versions included.
The Skoda Kodiaq’s exterior dimensions are:
The Skoda Kodiaq’s boot space is:
The vast majority of Skoda Kodiaqs on the used market will have been registered on or after 1 April 2017. This means they will cost you the flat rate of road tax of £180. Just beware cars put on the road prior to this date with higher Co2 emissions as they can be pricey for road tax.
The Skoda Kodiaq can be affordable or quite expensive to insure. With such a wide spread of engines and trim levels, the Skoda Kodiaq spans a number of insurance groups. The entry-level Skoda Kodiaq SE Drive, fitted with the 1.5-litre TSI engine, falls into group 18 (out of 50). A luxurious Skoda Kodiaq Laurin & Klement starts from group 22, while the high-performance vRS is in group 30.
