Skoda Kodiaq Reviews

Skoda's marketing department has always plugged the brand's "simply clever" features, from hidden umbrellas in the front doors to the windscreen clip to store your parking tickets so there's no more frantic searching at the boom gate.So what does the brand's focus on practicality perks mean for its first real foray into the world of family focused SUVs?Enter the 2020 Skoda Kodiaq 132TSI Sportline.  Priced at $54,890, our 132TSI Sportline came with $6700 of extras, including Skoda's Luxury ($3400) and Tech ($2600) Packs, as well as the virtual cockpit ($700).Standard features include a 9.2-inch gesture control media display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, sat nav, LED headlights, proximity key, power tailgate, privacy glass and dual-zone climate control.  So, how will the Kodiaq handle the weekend family duties, and what practical features make it stand out from the SUV crowd? 

The Skoda Kodiaq RS is the angriest Kodiaq money can buy. But you can't get one yet - it doesn't land in Australia until 2020. Luckily, Skoda smuggled one into Australia for us drive... at a race track.

If the Skoda Kodiaq 132TSI Sportline was a person would you hang out with it? We would, and here's why.

The Kodiaq represents the first example of a Skoda with seven seats. And this version, the Sportline, isn't just focused on functionality - it also has some fun elements to it, too... not to mention a number of premium touches, if you tick enough option boxes.

Seven-seater SUVs that rarely get their boots dirty are all the rage these days, and Skoda is trying to get in on some of Mazda's action with its Kodiaq. We're driving the 4x4 Sportline variant, with its sporty looks and nifty features, to see if it's worth the $60,000 sticker.

In what’s become a tradition of Skoda giving its cars silly names, the seven-seat mid-sized Kodiaq is named after a bear, sort of because they had to be different and swap the ‘k’ for a ‘q’.
