Skoda Kodiaq review: what owners and experts say

Boot space

Strongly positivebased on 7 reviews

“Even with the three rows up, you have 281 litres of storage, which should be good enough for a couple of medium size suitcases. But you can obviously fold the third row down, and that opens up a massive 786 litres of boot space.”

Rear seat space

Strongly positivebased on 7 reviews

“The seats are large, they are comfortable, they are supportive, and there's plenty of knee room, there's plenty of headroom... even the rear seat is really wide and really comfortable so you can seat three abreast with ease.”

Handling

Generally positivebased on 12 reviews

“In sport mode the car feels agile around corners, yes it does roll off a bit but with fantastic grip levels thanks to its all-wheel drive system, there's a degree of fun you can have while hustling this SUV around.”

Seat comfort

Generally positivebased on 9 reviews

“The Kodiak's front seats go really well on comfort. They're large and supportive, even for a healthier framed occupant like myself. There's adjustable thigh support... I can tell you the massage feature works really well.”

Third row usability

Strongly negativebased on 8 reviews

“Maine ye complaint suni hai is gaadi mein ki jaise main hoon aap hain, adult koi nahi baith sakta, sirf bachche hi baith sakte hain peeche... baithne ko to hum bhi baith sakte hain par aadha ek ghanta hi baitha jaayega max to max.”

Drivetrain reliability

Mixed reviewsbased on 5 reviews

“Slow-moving traffic can reveal some rough edges. The gearbox does tend to feel a bit clunky at low speeds, and that's something we've noted on a whole lot of dual clutch transmissions, but things do smoothen out as you build speed.”

Ride comfort

Mixed reviewsbased on 7 reviews

“Hume lagta hai iska jo body rollover hai ye thoda sa feel hota hai... thoda sa isme thoda zyada feel hota hai [compared to typical SUV characteristics].”

Dashboard layout

Mixed reviewsbased on 6 reviews

“The only issue is that it doesn't mirror the navigation you get from your Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. And that is a little bit of a bummer because I wish you could just use that out here [on the digital instrument cluster].”

Fit & finish

Mixed reviewsbased on 7 reviews

“I go at the back of the car and I noticed that the Kodiaq nameplate, the 'i' is not there... I think this is something to do with the PPF.”
