- The Skoda Kodaiq has seriously impressed me with the level of quality and equipment. Has this just shown up the Volkswagen Tiguan?

It’s lovely but your are certainly paying for it, these cars are so overpriced the majority of people can’t afford them especially ones with family’s. This is why I think the Dacia bigster will take a lot of sales from this especially if it starts around low £20k mark yes the interior is definitely not the same quality and likely not as fast but if it undercuts this by £15,000-£20,000 it’s worth a look
I have genuinely heard the bigster could be closer to 40!! which is worrying, I agree with you.
Don't worry. With the car market returning to normal families will be able to buy a three year old one of these for £20K in 2027.
They are going nuts with such prices
@@AutoSocialUK40? no way, hybrid will by around 26k..
Got a courtesy Range Rover Sport on my drive! £90k on the road!! Jesus h Christ!!
Volkswagen the best car manufacturers in the world,,,they doesn't compromise any products lineup on clever performance drive and safety side so &so build quality top knoche...
Afternoon Tish
Evening!
Nice car!
To say I hate SUV’s is an understatement , so the silver coloured C pillar doesn’t bother me ! What’s the best looking sheep in the field.
Cheers love
Stopped watching at the CO2 nonsense...🙄🙄🙄
Every little helps though, right?
@@AutoSocialUK We are in a CO2 famine - the atmosphere has had more CO2 in most of the last 500 million yrs up to 8,000PPM Plants grow better with more CO2 (Dr Will Happer.)
Low CO2 at 400ppm is an anomaly compared to the past 500 million years. It is virtual insanity to try to maintain an anomaly in a system rather than the norm.
If the carbon dioxide level drops any further all plants will begin to die. Followed by YOU.
Wake up love.
I owned a Kodiaq for four years and it was excellent in every way but this revamp has really taken it to another level. I like every single one of the improvements and really like the rear side window treatment!
Some 10 yrs ago this presentation might create some interest, but new old Skoda Kodiaq has nothing much to impress. Simple Joseph Kaban old cosmetics with degrading quality of power train and overall finishes. Price is also a step back factor comparing to competition. I owned a brand new Superb for more than a decade and things were OK with some issues (full suspension replaced in 2000 km / excessive oil consumption / ..) discussed with top decision makers from Skoda, but not much solved. When you are constantly ignoring Skoda owners might not expect them to come back.
Same here.
A great quick view of the new Kodiaq Tish. I really like the outgoing model but this new one makes the old one look quite dated. The changes are more revolutionary than evolutionary and I think it looks all the better for it, less boxy on the outside but still functional on the inside. It's worth noting that this model, like other manufacturers is the top of the range for a show model. I have to take my hat off to Skoda for keeping some of the physical knobs and buttons and not blindly following some other members of the VW group with just a touch screen. This new design could also give us an idea of what the next generation Karoq will look like in a year or so time. Many thanks for sharing.
I agree, it will be worth seeing the not-so-high speciforcation model.
Hi Tish - most high-end leather for cars (Aston, Jaguar, Range Rover etc..) is actually produced sustainably in Scotland. At Bridge of Weir leather. It is produced from hides from animals that have been slaughtered for food consumption. If these hides were not made into leather, they would take decades to degrade in landfill. Animals are not bred and slaughtered to be made into leather.
The vegan and anti leather fools have allowed lies to be spread. Those who love leather or work with leather all attest to the fact, of “animals are never killed wholly for the leather”
There will be a Kodiaq vRS coming later on with a 2.0-litre engine with 272PS. As a reminder, the previous Kodiaq vRS petrol has 245PS.
Awesome, that's something to look forward to!
Great review Tish. I like your new look also. Keep up the good work.
Skoda cars are starting to outdo the main VW cars now... Also people seem to like skodas more than VW when on the road.....I'd definitely buy a skoda over the VW badged cars etc
I do.......
I do like that interior and the boot space is impressive. My only concern is the sheer size of the vehicle, the hassle of needing a parking spot with nobody too close etc.
Get a Karoq or Kamiq then
Great review Tish. Skoda are so good at squeezing extra room in a vehicle and it has a classier interior than the outgoing version.
They are not squeezing any room into the vehicle. On the contrary, they allow the interior of the vehicle to inflate further out into the outer space. ;-)
that is a very good observation. The thing I noticed that this car has really utilized its space very well. I mean the exterior styling is very standard to say. But the spacing inside is well done. And the extra space at the back ? Brilliant. Means you can always tuck that extra luggage at the back for the long trip. Must be expensive though. Its interesting how these upper economy brands are now competing with luxury brands. As the consumer becomes more self aware and chooses utility over brand name in car you might see a merging of brands into becoming a category. The category is guess is now the luxury.
What a massive but beautiful car. But why oh why are they building diesel cars? Despite this I just love how Skoda improve everything on the equivalent VW cars. Great review as usual
because in europe people still want diesel as they last long miles and have better fuel mileage.
Diesel is way more fuel efficient and affordable, especially here in the Caribbean.
Why not diesel? Fun fact ,cruise ships will use 80,000 gallons a day!! More then a car driver could use in a life time.
Diesel is a great option for so many. I fell for the hype about ev's, had one for 3 years, so so glad to be shot of it and now back to petrol and changing back to diesel in new year. Full circle. Thankfully new diesel models are still being made although not as many but this could increase as EV legislation keeps getting put back.
Long live diesel 🎉… never will get electric
I have ordered mine yesterday - exact finishes from the video + panoramic roof 😊
You don't need to make leather and its bio degradable 👍
That's a good point
Skoda has actually taken a BMW kidney look and split head lights, and cleaned it up :-)
Skoda have come lightyears from the days of the jokes they were in the 70's. I can picture the new Kodiaq in black which would look awesome. The interior is beautiful. Again who would have thought in the 70's you would be saying about a Skoda! One thing that wasn't featured and was wondering if it still had it was the pop out tow hitch? What a great idea that is if you tow regularly. Another great review Tish.
It has a tow hitch that is hidden under the car and pops out with a button from the boot
Most of the jokes built on Škoda 105 and 120. You should watch a recent U.S. review of that car. It was evaluated as sale-proof but it was also seen to be simply clever already back then! See th-cam.com/video/nC0lHFtbc9g/w-d-xo.html
I again wonder why make such a big family car and then have what looks like a tiny middle seat, which you do fail to talk about again. How does a huge car like this raise the bar when it really only seats 4 people in comfort?
this one is top notch L&K line, extra pricey, that's why the interior is so nice.
I love all the new Skoda models. Great review!
Thank you for commenting!
I’m 90% sure I want to ditch my Cupra Formentor and get this car, interior looks amazing
The multi function dials are a sensationally good idea.
Enjoyed the video. I recently viewed all the Skoda range at the dealers, as I’m looking to renew my car soon. As a former yellow patrol of 28 years, can I say I hardly ever went to a new Skoda breakdown. The styles and quality of build in the new range are very good indeed. I have been to see several other well known brands and found Skoda well above a lot of them. To think back 15/20 years ago they were tin boxes filled with plastic. Wow, wow Skoda how they have improved. Do we now rank them among the prestige brands 🤔👌
I think the 2.0L engine doesn't have mild hybrid technology
car manufacturers already many years do not used chrome, they used chrome look plastic
It is actually pretty ugly. But you’re commenting is very biased 😢
7:15 pressing a climate button :"This is very technical." Oh yes indeed it is. Perhaps Škoda should think about voice control for certain functions.
I get enough people talking VEGAN crap about what I eat,,,I DON'T WANT THEM TELLING ME WHAT FKING CAR COVERS I HAVE IN MY VEHICLE
Good that you get a choice then 🤔
Waiting to see what the infotainment options are like. I had one of the first kodiaq and have switched around since 2017,and the new model looks interesting.
Hopefully the old columbus system has been fully replaced.
Will the new Kodiaq be offered in Laurin & Klement trim level?
why is skoda copying other car manufacturers? super = BMW 5, and now the Kodiaq has lights like a Volvo. maybe it would like to change the designers
11:10 Really 😂 nice 👍 SUV, both interior and exterior. Especially love 💕 the seats,sporty and looks quite comfortable, dashboard is a bit simplistic, but attractive enough, very spacious and roomy. This is a good 👍 buy. Really love 💕😘 it.
Glad you liked it!
idk why, but i hate that rounded corner of the headlight SOOOOOO much... sticks out from the whole design and every Skoda out there in general.
Why the rounded headlight when everything around it so damn sharp, mean and angular
I have a 2020 edition and will be trading it in for this new model
VAG still does not understand full HEV is the way to go. PHEV is heavy and unpractical. MHEV just doesn’t add anything to a regular ICE.
It’s weird how the differentiation between Skoda, VW and Audi diminishes with each generation. Its almost as if it were one giant company sharing platforms and technology… um hang on a minute!
front seat has memory function and ventilated seats ??
Such an useless ugly car honestly how can somebody like a box
Looking forward to your UK road test of the slammed version. I.e Superb. Also others seem to have had real problems with Skoda and Apple CarPlay freezing and not reconnecting. Please keep an eye out. Thanks
Good to know! I am looking forward to test driving them too!
I have owned a Skoda Superb know have just ordered the new Kodiaq it looks fantastic can't fault the finish of the cars.
We were also very interested in the new Kodiaq. If I understood correctly, there is all-wheel drive OR plug-in hybrid - unfortunately.
first of all,learn to pronounce companys name properly.its not Skoda but SHkoda(shadow,shoe,shut up),
Hi, great review! Covered everything that needed to be covered without using any terms a common person won't understand! What are your thoughts about the colour - since the one they are showing in brochures is more yellow compared to a bronze- green-gold seen here.
I always think VW group cars are better build quality than the VW cars themselves.
Nice car but again too big for our small roads and car parking spaces.
Thanks for sharing
Yet there are plenty of Range Rovers, and other large 4x4's and crew-cab pick ups around.....
Too difficult order ca t on motab
ility just pass it over . Just bought new sportage skoda not interested in my custom
great quick review of the new model (interior is great), but they need to get rid of gloss black plastic entirely, exterior version will scratch on first drive/wash! interior versions just scratch easy, come on use some thing better inside, like a matt wood that Mazda use. welcome proper interior controls in VAG cars, after their dumb touch button ideas.
We need the same car in india stop providing beige interiors..
Skoda is pronounced as Shkoda. Not S, but SH.
Better to know if you specialize in cars.
My Xmas wish is a HUG from Tish!❤😉😏
I love the Range Roverish rear end, classic and elegant design. It would be great if more and more cars are like that.
Skoda have pulled off a nice refresh, I’d like to see the exterior in person but there’s no major alarm bells going off, the interior though certainly looks very nice.
I like this interior. Really good Skoda have kept the well designed manual climate controles. Skoda, and VW as well should do the same on all of their EV´s
So far, this is the best advertising for Hyundai SANTA FE 2024! 😂
A nice and solid electric car. And then I'm also a bit in love with Tish. 😊
only hybrid for now :)
Love Skoda - drive one; but it would be really nice if those who do a review could learn how to pronounce the name of the brand.
I guess, you either like/dislike Skoda. Personally, not for me, though I'm sure as the previous generation of Kodaiq, it will have a small segment of the SUV market with its entry price point. Great review as always, thank-you.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
When it comes to engines etc Skoda are the same as most VAG cars. I'm surprised about the climate controls though. I thought you had buy an Audi to get sensible ones on a VAG car these days.
Inside of the Kodiak looks better than a Mercedes. I am not joking
The eqs is very ugly inside
Do you know when will the new Skoda karoq revealed?...
No sign of it yet, but a fully electric replacement for the Yeti is on the way......called Elroq.
I'm a little Tea Pot with a pretty face, please don't call me out by name cuz I sell out late.
Great there is a non dead animal skin leather option
Yeah and price has been raised, skoda is insane thinking it can ask 45k for this
it seems to be underpowered just to have as little consumption as possible.
Model Notre bone monar fanzoi.
😅
Just like the car, this review was logical, practical and very enjoyable
Stop all this sustainable and eco nonsense. Whilst celebrities fly everywhere, drive 5L cars and have yachts ; there is no issue or such a problem as climate crisis. Give up on the stupid messaging.
Every little helps though right?
@@AutoSocialUK If everyone lived the same lifestyles as celebrities we would have a real problem.
I enjoy looking at the pretty lady and listening to the native speaker.
You speak only of aestethic. A woman's review, for wives and gfs.
A sad car. In fact Skoda in Ukrainian means: Pity.
I think until I can drive it, that’s only really what I can talk about ☺️
the lady is magnificent
Skodiaq? A slip of the tongue or on purpose?
No that was an accident but I think it works 😂😂
200ps for the PHEV seems woefully underpowered
That is so nice
It's so dangerous watching your new reviews i always want a new car
Skoda with last 2 gen are better than vw
there ARE pros and cons.......
Skoda have pulled off a nice refresh, I’d like to see the exterior in person but there’s no major alarm bells going off, the interior though certainly looks very nice.
Best all round suv is volvo xc60 T8..
This car is little to small. Buy only cars with 3 tonns and more, not this small gogo 😂😂😂😂!
Good on you mate!!!
...and no physical buttons for basic functionality again, changing where the fan blows during a long drive will make you crash into a wall.
So ask the voice assistant to do it for you.......
@@Brian-om2hh until they can actually recognize commands they're almost as useless as those tablets or more so
Sometimes its not too big for UK roads? :DX
900 litres boot space?!?! Are they thinking you move house everyday
What'll carry a lot, will also carry a little.....
New subscriber, thanks. Getting one of these this year, great looking car. (Run your scripts through Grammarly)
Thanks! Unfortunately I don’t really script which is likely the issue. I’m quite heavily dyslexic, so sentences have a habit of exiting my brain in all sorts of combinations 😂
@@AutoSocialUK Blimey, I'm impressed! I would need 50 takes to do that and it still wouldn't be as fluent... All the best 💪
Didnt like a story teller without any real demo
Страшная конченное жуть
rear window wiper looks like bird shit
Interesting colour that's all I have
When you review a 7 seater and then completely ignore the last row!
This wasn’t the 7 seat version
Very nice Review, Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Does it come with acoustic side windows?
Never liked Skoda myself, always so bland looking and the addon options are so expensive.. they would make BMW blush.
That's interesting to know. Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Always great reviews. Thanks, Tish.
My pleasure!
looksok
Momental Mazda cx60
I enjoyed watching the Video. Looking nice ❤ as always 😊
Thank you Jamie!!
Is the kodiaq the best car because it comes from the volkswagen group or because it really is that good? Personally, I think that German cars are clearly overrated.
Bet you just cant affort one😂
Well skoda is Czech not German 🤷
Its cheap and allot of car for the money its in partnership with german so you get quality as well ❤
I wonder where you are from, making such a comment
At least.one person with Geographical.knowledge @SimonJanecko
Look👍
'tooodaaaiy'😵💫
The SUV bar has been raised with THIS? That is a bold statement, madam😂 but right off the bat: the presence! From exterior to interior, it kinda gives off a "love at first sight" kinda vibe, huh? She is stunning!! An impressive piece of machinery from Czech Republic. But it's got some serious competition in its class: VW, Volvo, Toyota, Mercedes (especially with their own interior lighting) and of course Jeep. Truly an exciting time to be an SUV fan. So many choices, but does Skoda stand above them all? Great review, Tish. Thumbs up!
Thank you so much for commenting and I am glad you enjoyed it!
Drive one, and see what you think....
