SKODA KODIAQ cars

What types of used Skoda Kodiaq cars are there?

The Skoda Kodiaq family SUV is the largest car the brand makes, and it remains one of the best in its class thanks to its comfort, reliability, safety and practicality.   

What sets the Kodiaq apart from many other family SUVs is that it offers such high levels of practicality and interior space at a low price.  

The Kodiaq takes the edge over many of its competitors thanks to the Skoda value-for-money appeal and understated, stylish looks. 

Whether you choose a five- or seven-seat model, there’s a collection of trims to choose from that all get their own features. This includes the Sports Line models, the SE, and the Scout.   

You’ll have a pick of front- and four-wheel-drive models, plus petrol and diesel power and automatic and manual gearboxes, making it a hugely versatile and customisable family car.

What features does the Skoda Kodiaq have?

Inside, the Skoda Kodiaq carries over its smart and stylish exterior looks.   

Being a newer Skoda model, high-end Kodiaq models benefit from a large touchscreen, a digital instrument cluster, heated and electronically adjustable seats, and even a Wi-Fi hotspot so everyone can enjoy their devices on longer journeys.   

Entry-level Kodiaq models still get a range of features – the Kodiaq SE includes cruise control, parking sensors, and anti-theft protection. Newer models come with LED headlights as standard, even entry-level SE Drive versions. 

Skoda’s SmartLink+ system also works a treat and is standard across the range, allowing Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity.    

Whether yours is a five- or seven-seater, the boot is definitely big enough. Seven-seater models have a slightly smaller boot to accommodate the rearmost seats, but the difference is minimal and barely noticeable in the real world.

Is the Skoda Kodiaq reliable?

Every Skoda Kodiaq for sale is built on the same platform that forms the foundation of other Volkswagen Group models, like the Volkswagen Tiguan and SEAT Tarraco, meaning the Kodiaq offers incredible levels of reliability. 

Other cars that use the same platform include the Skoda Superb, Seat Ateca and VW Tiguan – all very reliable cars in their own right.  

Because many of the parts, including engines and gearboxes, are used in many other cars, you know they’re tried and tested. 

How much does the Skoda Kodiaq cost to run?

A used Skoda Kodiaq benefits from a range of incredibly efficient engines, but the diesels are the most efficient – they can achieve more than 50mpg. 

The 4x4 models are slightly less efficient, but if you’re coming from an older 4x4, you’ll still be pleasantly surprised. 

Who is the Skoda Kodiaq suitable for?

The Kodiaq offers everything you could possibly want from a family SUV. It has great levels of practicality, comfort, fuel efficiency and off-road capability – should you need it.  

Because of its seating capacity for up to seven and – depending on the configuration of seats – a very large boot, it’s a great pick for large and growing families. 

It isn’t easy choosing the perfect family SUV, but we believe this is up there with some of the best. Its rivals include the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace, Peugeot 5008, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Land Rover Discovery Sport.
