Skoda Kodiaq Review | Why is it the world's most loved SUV?

With plenty of plaudits to its name including What Car SUV of the Year and seemingly everyone a fan, we sent Howard Ritchie to see what all the fuss for the new Skoda Kodiaq was about.

Setting forth in a 2.0d DSG 7-seat Skoda Kodiaq complete with hidden umbrella and dog harness, Howard took in the sights and sounds of Stanton House Hotel in Wiltshire before getting in some countryside mischief. Yes it goes on the grass.

after a few months of driving it, i can confirm it's an awesome car for the money. it's immensely popular as well, expect to wait between 6 months and a year (i waited 10 months)

I tried to configure this car but with all the options I wanted it ended up really expensive.. I think a peugeot 3008 gt 2.0 diesel automatic instead makes more sense. For 43000 euros it has everything on it. From 19" alloys, all weather 235 tyres, grip control with 3 modes (snow, mud, sand), hill descent assistance, 360 camera with front-rear parking sensors, blind spot setection, automatic led headlights, rain sensors, active advanced cruise control, active emergency break, active lane assist, break assist, car-play and android auto, bluetooth, dual-zone climate control, 2 digital displays and tomtom navigation with connected services for 3 years, nappa leather sports seats, keyless entry and electronic boot, 3 fragrances that are pumped out from the ventilation... It's a no-brainer

Great review - just found, sorry. We are collecting our new-to-us 2018 SE L 4x4 next week, and really looking forward to it. With the dark metallic maroon paint outside, and oatmeal leather and Alcantara inside, plus that humungous glass roof, it was instant love on the short test drive we took around Kings Lynn. We are really looking forward to going back to North wales this Spring, to see over the hedgerows all that we've been missing with ten years of E-Class Mercedes-Benz estates - loved 'em - all three - but appalling hikes to the insurance made a change to something less expensive and higher off the ground for out awful Cambridgeshire roads made a change inevitable, and, at our time of life, vital. Not even M-B's wonderful, but VERY expensive, air-matic suspension could cope, costing us thousands in repair bills...

I watched a few reviews on this car now. Nearly every one has totally different views on it. Who's right and wrong.I would never buy a car based on online reviews.

38mpg for an Auto isn't bad, the Manual should be more economical I guess.

[RogerBaileyOnCars]

no one does car reviews better than this, not even me - (joke)

1:25 Not seen that before? Ford Focus has had that for two generations.

Smarter my ass! You cannot install 3 children seats in the second row!

[girishshivshankar]

Didn't like the background music at all.. review was good overall, but editing of the video could be improved.. as for the car, I love it!!

[AlexanderTheVampyreL]

Trying to copy Jeremy much? Anyway, still entertaining

[thezanzibarbarian]

Or is it named after a bear because it's shit in the woods?? :-))

As a presenter I quite like this guy but as a motoring correspondent... Learn to drive properly! Get your fecking hand off the gear stick and on the wheel. I'm not asking for "ten-to-two" and "pull-push" but not using your other hand when you run out of movement with one is monumentally dumb.
