Skoda Kodiaq

As a model line, the Kodiaq is a large, comfortable seven-seat SUV. The steering is light and the chassis filters out bumps calmly, staying stable even when laden. It feels confidence-inspiring and predictable, with a relaxed motorway manner. The 2.0 TDI delivers smooth pull and the petrols respond eagerly. Expect no sporty edge, but safe, comfortable and relaxed progress for the family.
