Product Overview

Skoda Kodiaq (chassis code NS7) facelift is an affordable mid-size crossover in production from 2021. It is available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.5 to 2.0 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift model, the facelifted Kodiaq has sharper lines but no notable mechanical updates.
Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, need to think twice before pulling the trigger: the Skoda Kodiaq is hardly the "offroader" that Skoda would like you to think. Utility-minded owners will love the 2065L (73cu-ft) cargo space.
Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Skoda Kodiaq uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:
The Kodiaq has received the usual visual nip and tuck. You will mainly recognise the facelift model from the slightly slimmer headlights. Inside, there’s a new steering wheel, some grey stitching and revised ‘ergonomic seats’ As before, all trims but entry-level SE get you seven seats as standard.

Pros
  • Stylish looks
  • Decent infotainment system
  • Lots of standard equipment
Cons
  • Ride can get a bit thumpy
  • Sportline trim isn’t the best

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:
The Kodiaq sits at the more affordable end of the VW Group's SUV spectrum. The 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel powertrain produces 197bhp and 295lb ft. All USB ports have been upgraded to newer USB-C, so you’ll need the right cables (or an adaptor) to plug in your devices. There’s even an optional USB port in the roof next to the rear-view mirror, a frankly brilliant addition.

Pros
  • Powerful engine
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Excellent infotainment suite
Cons
  • Lacklustre handling
  • Lack of rear-view cameras

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
£40,170 SportLine model gets you a 2.0-litre TSI four-cylinder turbo engine with 187bhp and 320Nm of torque. All SportLine models come with a DSG gearbox as standard, but the two-wheel-drive 1.5 TSI 150 might be better value, at £36,340. The chassis delivers a refined and relaxing ride, while the progressive steering means the Kodiaq is still pointy and direct enough. At higher revs the turbocharged engine can sound a little coarse.
Find the original article here.
Pros
  • Comfortable ride
  • Decent infotainment tech
  • Good standard equipment
Cons
  • A little coarse at higher revs
