The 2024 Skoda Kodiaq range of configurations is currently priced from $39,990.
Our most recent review of the 2024 Skoda Kodiaq resulted in a score of 7.9 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Deputy News Editor Tom White had this to say at the time: If you’re already a Skoda buyer, you know the drill. I don’t need to tell you the Kodiaq is a genuine off-beat alternative to the mid-sized seven-seaters of the world.

This is what Tom White liked most about this particular version of the Skoda Kodiaq: Bigger, better than before, Cabin tech overhaul, The keen driver's seven-seat SUV
The 2024 Skoda Kodiaq carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2000 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Skoda Kodiaq 2024 prices range from $43,450 for the basic trim level SUV Style (4X4) 132TSI to $69,190 for the top of the range SUV RS (4X4) 180TSI.
The second-generation Kodiaq has a more spacious interior with a focus on higher-end technology, with larger touchscreens and an increase in soft-touch materials. Like other Skodas, the Kodiaq has an array of cabin features to enhance practicality like removable trays and bins and mounting systems in the boot and back seat.
Internationally, the Kodiaq is available in eight colours, including bronze, red, blue, black, white, silver, and two greys.
The second-generation Kodiaq offers 910-litres of boot space with the third row folded flat, or 340L with the third row up.
The Skoda Kodiaq is a seven-seat three-row SUV.
Standard equipment in the Kodiaq range includes LED headlights, a 13.0-inch multimedia touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a 10-inch digital instrument cluster, 18- to 20-inch alloy wheels, tri-zone climate control, keyless entry and push-start ignition, as well as a full suite of safety items.
Modern cars like the Skoda have sealed cooling systems which means they shouldn’t need regular top-ups. As the engine heats up and the coolant expands, any excess coolant is captured by an overflow tank which stores the coolant and then allows it to be sucked back into the engine’s cooling system as the car cools down. This is all perfectly normal. All of which means that if you have coolant disappearing, then there’s a leak somewhere, but don’t necessarily jump to the conclusion that the radiator is at fault.
The problem could be one of many things, including a failed radiator hose or some other piece of critical plumbing, a faulty water pump, cracked cylinder head, blown head gasket, broken overflow tank, failed radiator cap, split cylinder bore, leaking heater matrix and more. The dealership should be able to tackle this as a warranty job and will probably pressurise the cooling system and see where, if anywhere, coolant starts to appear where it shouldn’t.

Australian-market versions of the Kodiaq are expected to launch with an updated version of the current 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine, producing 150kW/320Nm.
The 2.0-litre petrol versions are yet to have their 0-100km/h sprint times confirmed, but seven-seat 2.0-litre diesels can sprint from 0-100km/h in 8.0 seconds in international markets.
Fuel efficiency and range figures are yet to be determined for the Australian market.
