Skoda Kodiaq SUV 2018 5 seat review | Mat Watson Reviews

The Skoda Kodiaq is the Czech brand's first crack at a mid-size SUV. Entry-level models start from £21,495, but the higher spec versions are priced to compete squarely against the likes of the VW Tiguan and – thanks to an optional extra pair of chairs positioned in the boot – the seven-seat Land Rover Discovery Sport. So is the big Skoda a grizzly failure or a roaring success? Find out in our in-depth review!

Seriously...
These noise and vibration test make zero sense unless you test with the same tires, same tire pressure and for gods sake comparable suspension.
Even temperature is quite important.
Not even talking about how inaccurate these apps are with incredibly cheap smartphone microphones.

I've just traded my BMW for this Skodiaq. Premium brands? Once you've had one you don't believe in premium anymore... Value for money is the only parameter worth considering.

[SuperSina]

I don't think the noise and vibration tests can be too reliable with those apps and considering the road surface and temperature blabla

The people here..."It's still a Skoda". Well, an older gentleman would call a Aventador, still a Lamborghini. Why? Because they made tractors back in the day. People with that argument are living in the past, and have no idea about basic car knowledge.

Beautiful car! When I saw it first time on the road I was stunned and I'm designer..

Ordered this car a month ago, can't wait to get it in September with the new 69 plate, also added on a panoramic sunroof

Can't wait to watch the Practicality video of this Kodiaq

[bogdanvidrean]

I have windowsphone and I laughed so hard when he said that joke!

[Memories-_]

2:32 yeah but its a different road surface? Hows this fair?

[Femaqui]

6:06 ohhh those poor souls with Windows Phone..hahahahahha! you're the man, Mat!

[Doupik]

5:11 you can have double floor so it is complelety flat then

Practicality has always been an essential ingredient of Skoda I think they just dropped the ball by not having ISOFIX on ALL passenger seat,
I think it will have massive competition from Peugeot 3008 & 5008 for the looks of the cabin.

I'm wondering how you can say this is Skoda's first attempt to break into the premium market when the Superb is in it's 3rd generation (Under VAG, there are much older Superb models around too). The Superb is longer than the Kodiaq and has a similar boot size too. I really want to see how this does as a 7 seater and an off-roader, since these are the only features this car can claim that existing Skoda models don't already have.

wow I have never seen a reviewer with a tape 😃
probably the most practical review I have seen of this car

[keithisaacs]

I love mats reviews he always gives you the bear facts

[googlereviewer]

2:17 very nice touch. good to have some objective measurements along with the subjective impressions etc.

[НиколаНиколов-ьи]

It might be funny but my dream car is the Kodiaq. I absolutely love it, my family have driven Skodas for years, well my dad has a Passat B8 now... But his first two cars were Skodas

[neutronick]

what is it with that green windshield? anyone knows?

[denisbaraniak]

You have absolutely killed it with that "poor souls who have windows phones"...the best joke I'd heard in a while.
