After 3 months owning one, i'm also very happy. for 40k€ i got the top level version, leather seats, panoramic roof etc (u need this roof, it gives a much brighter inside) > something i would have paid 60k with a different brand
He complained that its hard to Park in town then he complains that you have to pay for the 360 camera, over the standard rear camera, sheesh there's no pleasing some people, keep doing what your doing skoda it's a brilliant car well done, use this as your first electric ev with a 65kw pack and you'll have a winner again
You've made a mistake with the gearbox choice, because when diesels are paired with the DSG you get a much more quiet ride, because it constantly shifts at low rpm and keeps you in the optimal torque range. Manuals are better with the 1.4 petrol choices.
Not only that, but unlike its DSG equivalent, the 2.0 TDI 150PS 4x4 7 seater version of the Kodiaq with a *6 speed manual gearbox* isn't certified for towing. But why is this? I mean, there must be a reason as to why the manual version of this engine and drivetrain combination with 7 seats can’t tow at all... 🤔
Hello, I enjoyed your review. My Skoda has been rejected due to numerous faults. Another one is coming, well I say coming. It cannot be built until the 2.0TSi DSG Specification car can actually be built. But WLTP emissions will at present not allow this as it cannot pass the tests!!!! One point that I think you need to correct, you say the sheer size of the car is big and may be difficult to park. Length of the Kodiaq ia 4697 - 4705 mm SMALL compared to the Skoda Superb Hatchback at 4861 mm. Cheers.
Nice to see all the seats down... Though, as usual with reviews.. Nobody carry's a tape measure or just says.. Seat down inside it's...CM long and .... CM wide... I really can't understand why 98%..? Of "carrying vehicle " reviews never give the measurements... A main factor of why it would be bought..
Always big fan of your review. I bought at least two cars after following your long term reviews. They have never let me or my family down. Just one question, in the original Autotrader review the seat down storage space is 2000+L but here is is down to 17xxL. is that depending on the trim? Or spare wheel vs pucture repair kit?
Why isn’t the 2.0 TDI 150PS 4x4 7 seater version of the Kodiaq with a *manual gearbox* certified for towing like its DSG equivalent? How come Škoda decided NOT to approve that version for towing?
I did wonder about this as we nearly brought a kodiaq when they first came out . Sat down at the dealers to purchase the car informed him of the spec and said tow bar , he then informed us the car could not tow so we brought a Mitsubishi Outlander BIG mistake . We now have a Kodiag 150 Sel with DSG gearbox and a tow bar . We have just come back from France and drove all the way back in one hit , Have not felt so fresh after driving fourteen hours . We are impressed .

Yes those nails need cut.. Does his wife enjoy them? Will he react for the next video? OK diesel not my thing either but consumption from a petrol on this size of car would be high. Perhaps a diesel or petrol hybride for town driving - if skoda are reading.? Think that the camera pack and auto box are essential for this type of vehicle. No mention of reliability in the review?
Well driving around Hampton Village on the narrowest of roads it will seem large - driving our Polo down those streets to The Dip is still narrow - cmon!
actually much better than I thought. I take it to snow fields and dirt tracks, without any problem. However better take the option "underbody protection" as the ground clearance is not the best in the category. Also the reasonable price means you're not going mental thinking you'll have 1 or 2 scratches

Great, balanced, interesting review. Clear, concise and well presented.
Love your long term tests, gives a real insight thanks

I hate automatics
@@colinme2672 you're gonna love driving in 2030 when the only cars you can buy new are electric hence automatic 😂
Noisy? Yeah you picked the diesel..
Hard to park? Duh.. go for the 360 cameras.

I have a kodiaq and find it very easy to park but tbf I literally do not agree with one negative comment you said 😀
I dont like to have any fuss with a car, I have a BMW 530 estate diesel, it doesnt complain does its job gets me from A to B, job done!
One of the best Family Cars

Needs colour coded wheel arches and bumpers on SE L trim.
How can it be quiet on the motorway on long journey but noisy in town? Also..Diesel engine are in general louder than petrol.

Good review.
Is it reliable? Thats only thing i care about
I'd trade my Kodiaq sunroof for 360 cameras anyway. Why on Earth would someone still go diesel...
Why would someone go petrol?
It's not really that big. Trying driving an XC90, Q7 or Landrover Discovery and you'll be thankful it's not that big!
So Skoda, you've provided the ability for drivers to read texts, think about a response and then send it; all while driving a 2 ton weapon. Genius.
How is that any different from talking to a passenger?
Yes, really. A voice in the car says something. You verbally reply. The whole time, you don’t take your eyes off the road. How is that different?
nothing about the need too top up the oil after 10.000Km?
My Skoda Superb Diesel was too noisy & had vibration through the pedals. Dealer didn't give a damn. Won't waste my money again buying a Skoda
gerry whelan I have octavia 2l tdi no trouble for pass 4 years with this engine . But waiting for new superb with petrol egine 1.5 150 bhp
how do the skodas perform offroad?
actually much better than I thought. I take it to snow fields and dirt tracks, without any problem. However better take the option "underbody protection" as the ground clearance is not the best in the category.

only Apple, no Android?
I watched until apple carplay
Karoq is better!
not skoda's first seven seater, but first one in a long long time.
Goodness! Cut your fingernails please
If you need a camera to park you shouldn't be driving!!
Very good and clear presented!
P.S. cut your nails ,please
Hmm you like the size of the car but you don’t?
I think he likes the size from the inside and doesn't like the size from the outside.
Direct trail developing certain makeup coast box pretty.
What a daft review.
Why does no one mention the shit coffee cup holders
just never liked the look of skoda's they still look boring and plain with no lines.
Nice car but boring inside and ugly front end
I had to stop watching when I saw his fingernails...
JÁ budu mít škoda karog
First
Why did u have a child so old.
None of your business and the child does not look old
It’s so boring
Of course, it's a Skoda.
You pick a skoda for practicality not for fun
So ugly, boring cars.
I'm not easily bored :) I like it!
So stupid, cant read some of the comments...
