The Skoda Kodiaq vRS is something of a niche proposition, offering buyers the practicality of a seven-seat SUV with the performance of a ‘warm’ hatchback. As a result, direct rivals are few and between, but prospective buyers may also want to consider the Cupra Ateca, Land Rover Discovery Sport and, ironically, the Sportline version of the standard Kodiaq. Ginny puts the Kodiaq vRS through its paces to see if the performance matches up to the styling, and whether the car retains all that makes the standard vRS such a good family car.

Mom drops kids home then go drifting at the supermarket parking lot
Before picking up the groceries of course.
Don't most housewives?
I get really nervous walking yo the entranceway of the supermarket, the carpark resembles a race track.
The only review i was searching for!!!!
So which one you will choose Kodiaq VRS or Discovery Sport HSE Luxury (234bhp diesel version)?
Another great review!!
Great Video Review. I particularly like the exterior and the blue paint colour
Wonder if this is the engine that will be in the new golf GTD
Is it an optical illusion,or are the front seats width adjustable in this car
It looks great, and those seats, we’ve got this in the coming weeks, the guys can’t wait, thank you
Why isn’t the 2.0 TDI 150PS 4x4 7 seater *manual* version of the Kodiaq certified for towing like its DSG equivalent? How come Škoda decided NOT to approve that version of the Kodiaq for towing? 🤔
Does this have shift pedals on the wheel??
Does it have sunroof in kodiaq rs ????
If you want a good looking kodiaq, buy the Sportline, well said Ginny.
All this with a diesel?
Wish we had these in the US.
A great review, I agree that that the 190 Sportline is the sensible option. The VRS is way too expensive!
OMG!..... Where did you get those shoes? 😂
Not 43G good .Far to expensive . A Cupra Ateca better value . dont need 7 seats anyway , Great review always a good watch .
Great review again. Honest one too.
Those money just for a 7 seater, that has no ISOFIX in the back seats. Also with those big 20" wheels and those small brake disk looks like it's on stilts. I hate it on all modern cars. And a Diesel, whaaaaat? It's just keeping the the price up. On the other hand how will it differ from the Cupra. They will collide, so just don't bother making it. Imo the twin TDI is not used enough and they decided to make a dedicated model to it.
Nice Esh-UV!!😉
You say make over but take away the VRS badges and its exactly the same looking as the sportline version
I just don’t get why they didn’t fit the Golf R engine to it. That would be far better suited to a vRS than the biTDI it’s currently got - it would be quicker and give the car much more character.
CO2 something...
Hi, Part of my business management course at school requires you to do a project / assignment.
Would it be possible if you could complete a quick survey on BMW so i can gather public opinion?
Thanks Liam 👍
but but but, this is Škoda :-O
Some people say that those jeans are so tight Ginny is actually stuck in them.
I though there was a petrol variant?
Over the years I’ve had a couple of Octavia vrs and a fabia vrs. This is so silly.
The price point is prohibitive and sure be reserved for the other VAG brands
Folks, these journalists will never have critiques like you have here. Yours is more honest. They want to keep “reviewing” many cars.
4:10 Exposed metal in the interior of a car this expensive is simply unacceptable. In a 10k city car? Sure. Not in a 43k SUV.
Shut up you know nothing. the new class b got exposed metal, the classe A too. it cost the same as this. you'r welcome. you'r not in a luxury car. its a kodiaq. wich doesnt cost a lot for what ithas to offer.
@@suricateenerve165 b and a class cost much less than a kodiaq in my country
I’d rather have the “exposed” painted metal than them put a plastic trim over it that makes visibility worse and extra potential for rattling
Do you have some phobia of exposed metal or something??? lol
I don't endorse this Skoda, but what has 'exposed metal' have to do with anything?
It's the working class man's Urus as they are all VAG vehicles
There is no need to SUV in the UK. The MPVs or the minivans make more sense. It is much better to buy a Gran Picasso or Gran Scenic. Stop making people think that SUVs give value.
New game! Shots every time Ginny says "ummm"!!! ;)
Or Batch.
eh, exhaust note ?? The noise in the cabin is fake ..can´t believe you missed that !!
Road tax?
Crazy well well over priced, at this price you got so many many better options! On the plus good review.
Looks like the Q7 at the rear
Pick up 2nd hand one for 15k in 2yrs time.
Not the Vrs you won’t
Check. Not below 28k now
Skodak Yellow
Those wheels though.
I have a kodiaq SE L and it’s mint! But a big part of why it’s a class car is what you get for the money. This spec chucks that out the window. Still a class motor but not worth the price. I would consider buying a scout or a sport line but this nah
Love your reviews Ginny but as you're the one driving I don't care what Batch thinks, please tell me what *you* think of the car.
Marcus Skyfall YES
Marcus Skyfall agree, Ginny does reference Batch way too much- does he reference Ginny??
Needs a good feed.
They should have put this engine and spec onto the karoq instead
4:55 where does the right side of the left car disappear?
I think the video editer need to take some courses ;)
£43k???? I will take a Volvo XC60 R-Design please.
@@user-jw2hk6hq2i Hahahaha, wake up...
For that amount of money you get the barebone R-design with no additional features and the 150hp engine.
I'll take the 2020 Ford Explorer ST.
Like the car but the wheels don't do much for me prefer chrome alloys.
Don't get me wrong the Sportline is nice! But the VRS is just beautiful, the colour and those wheels 😍........BUT....... 45K for a Skoda SUV?!?! That's quite expensive! Soooooo for that money I'd go straight into a Seat garage and buy the CUPRA Ateca! A 305BHP Petrol Engine that sounds just incredible for a family SUV!
Will be ok 2nd hand, but £43k for a Skoda?!
Not a full size 7 seater family car with only two isofox that you would realistically use. Q7 has 3 across the middle and two in the back. Also Ginnie stop with the ‘fake parts’ issue. It would look ridiculous with one exhaust. It’s a design thing and not everything on a car is there purely for function.
Q7 is almost 40cm longer
What a woman! Beautiful!
1:47 dang her hand shows she`s quite old i tought she looked 38-40 ish
What have you got on your feet //? 😆
Being petite as she is, I guess it's so she doesn't look quite so tiny next to the hulking great SUV behind her in the talk to camera bits?
@Martin M high boots and short shorts, oooo shes sexy
Those would be called shoes m8
looks like a last gen kia sportage in the inside
So in summary .... it’s diesel, it’s slow by any sporty standard, has high tax, fake exhausts, and it’s massively expensive. I would love to hear a real buyer justify this
Totally agree! I’m struggling to get my head around the universal desire to drive massive SUV’s, let alone faux ‘sporty’ ones with pretend carbon fibre when the car is unnecessarily huge.
@@jbenekeorr its all about the joes and samanthas that think a big car makes them safe in crashes
notformebeaky I’ve no problem at all with diesel, I even drive one. However, this is billed and priced as a sporty car, yet it’s very slow and if you’re buying a new car, the fact that diesel sales are dropping FAST for pollution reasons has to be taken into account. Why not just put more power in it. This is Golf R money for a family car.
I love diesel because of lower CO2 then benzin and better fuel consumtion. Diesel is not slow, it has better tourque in lower speeds than benzin with the same power. High tax like all cars with that power. Fake exchaust is what I dont like. Massively expensive because of quality what you get, better then BMW or Seat etc., cheaper parts if she brokes. BMW and other just have names not so much better quality then Skoda, ask mechanics about Skoda cars. I was driving Skoda Octavia RS diesel and that was one of the best cars for me and my family.
KSERGEIBY It's ok, but with X1 you can't go off road. He is just for shoping. My friend have X1 and It's a good and quality car but not so much better then Kodiaq like many people say.
Would love to give that ride on a warm sunny day, Oh and the car is lovely too.
That’s not a VRS, its only RS.
I'm no badge snob but 43k for a skoda. Come on. 33k and i would buy one
You can buy a badge of your choice on ebay for not much and you’ll have the image you are looking for.
I judge not.
Badges we don't need no stinking badges !
Ateca Cupra? Hah
That is bigger than my house!!!!!!! Or Ginny is Alice in Wonderland!?
Wow, she's starting to sound like Mat Watson! A bit 'copycat', but still a welcome change and definitely more interesting to watch :)
The only good thing about this car is the colour!
Ateca is pronounced AH TECH A not A TI CA
Its way way too dear
Try to save up
@@isaaclim8645 That price is still too much.
The price needs to go down if they want to sell this car. I just found a new Audi Q5 S line quattro with V6 286bhp + better mpg for that price. Makes no sense coming from the same group.
I had a new Skoda Rapid for 5 years and I did 52,000 km. Can't say that I loved it, nor that I hated it. Keep in mind that I took great care of it. But in those 5 years the heater got clogged(warranty covered it since it was a factory defect), the steering wheel started peeling off, the headlights stopped working and the front suspension started rattling on the left when the weather was cold.
So typical vag rubbish. I had a Passat never again.
But apart from that it was great!
I've got a Skoda fabia combo 1.6 tdi 105 bhp 2013 had it 5 years 105000 miles later no problems besides tyres and discs + pads.2 near side bearings at fr 75000 rear 80000
. I am a joiner and carry all my hand tools and power tools weighing 200 kg all the time. Still get 55 mpg fully serviced.
Andrew Smithson you just wait 😂it will all
Come at once
The front left suspension on my 2015 Fabia has just started rattling too, and I've just done 37,700 miles which is around your 52,000km. Interesting to see another Skoda owner with the same issue.
A normal xc60 takes 0-60 in 6,4, but its more expensive.
Define normal 2/3 of the engine options are slower (0-100 8.5s) and a few a
e faster and are a lot more expensive and the car is smaller.
I’d like to see the Land Rover and the X3 with the same equipment cost the same as this one. That’s just a dishonest comparison.
a trick: you can watch movies on flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
@Charles Maison Yup, have been watching on flixzone for months myself :D
@Charles Maison Yea, have been using Flixzone for years myself :)
Skoda german or sweden
Czech
Czech lol :)))
£43k...what were they thinking?!
43k!!!!! - New Duster 150BHP is about 17k - you do the maths! :)
and both will depreciate 17k in the first year ...
@@paddydowney6269 at least you cant lose 50k on a duster
Wrong my fellow - Dacia depreciate the least of most cars ….
plastic Duster is simply crap....imagine how much crap if it costs 17k for a 4x4 smalluv
Take one for a drive, the new 2019 is much better than previous ones and is pretty good! as an aside, whats wrong with plastic, all cars have it? Do you like paying extra for your plastic?
Seen a 2nd hand v6 touraeg at 25k miles today at half the price.
And when this is 2 years old with 25k miles it will be half that too.
A teck A. Not Attica!
It is a rebadged Tiguan Allspace
The other way around, Kodiaq was released first
This is a briliant car. Say what you want its briliant
Too expensive, no petrol or manual option. VW group have made some poor decisions here IMO.
🛎 end
Working class version of a Lamborghini Urus
Škoda please come to the US!
She sounds like matt Watson, is she his sister?
£43k! The world has gone mad!
Please learn the difference of when to use 'I' or 'me'. Thank you.
Isn’t this more than the Cupra Ateca?!
7K more if you listned
£43k is a bonkers price for this car, an x3 20d m sport is a far better car for the same money. Who could possibly be tempted at that price?
John Small the M sport spec is that price, that’s top spec. There isn’t that much difference in space, yes the Skoda has a third row but there’s a big trade off, have you sat in the back of the Skoda? I have and have had an x3 so I know. I’m sure the Skoda is driven by the wealthy and BMW by the poor trying to look rich......? Listen to yourself.
Esh you vee
4:56 half the car disappears
Thought it was a pig as a standard SUV but the vrs really does make it a totally different and better looking. Defo consider one in this format
Eshhheuveee...
Nearly as big as your boots!
I don't think they will be selling many if these... shame as it had potential..
Same price as 3.0 X3 lol good luck selling any of those
Robert Sturgess much higher end spec though. You find all the extras the vrs has on the X3. Or the discovery, for the same price.
Yeah, X3 with a wheel and pedals and that's it. lol
@@wassupMannn What an M sport 20 xdrive is this price and far from poverty spec
@@martinharrington2163 I think you will find iots the Msport in this price range snd if you spec it up it can get to 45-46k yes but its resale will be 5k+ so over ownership it will be cheaper to have the x3 , your money you buy a Skoda mate but X3 owners will look down on you for your stupidity
Just got me one :)
Sorry to here you have OCD, I have heard it can be a very bad disorder on woman and children that affects many lives.
for that money , there's so many electrical SUV choices out there
How much 43k. Christ
Good price for such a vehicle imo 🙂
Trouble is it's like she said. The 2.0tsi sports line looks as good. It's about 0.5 seconds slower to 60 only and it keeps you below that 40k fresh hold where you get an extra £1500 of road tax cost. It makes no sense in the UK market especially knowing that they are going to keep cracking down on diesel vehicles that'll effect its value or cost you more going in to some city centres in the near future
Not that expensive the Ford Edge vignale is £49k
Brexit people don't deserve anything good
Jesus?
‘From Batch or me.’
Not ‘From Batch or I’.
If in doubt split it up:
You say ‘from Batch’ and ‘from me’.
So it’s ‘from Batch or me’.
‘Batch and I disagree’ ✔️
Batch disagrees, I disagree; we disagree.
Same thumbnail same tone same script same order of reviews same further detailed videos as car wow and a very similar name lol
Skoda have got this all wrong! £43k is ridiculous and it won't sell.
With those skinny fit jeans and huge sneakers she looks like Mickey Mouse.....
WTF fake tail pipe is worse then fake looking mag wheels hubcaps that car makes do to nearly every car these days
Ginny is so much better than clown don't even know his name
No petrol. No manual. No thanks.
The Skodiaq 😂
£35,000 is enough, no way is anyone gonna pay £43,000 for that, id rather buy a used range rover sport
Well maybe the £5000 engine repair on my 2014 RR bill would make you think twice....
@@alanwayte1688 hmm fair enough
TriHard and have all that lovely saved money to spend on cardiac-inducing bills for the Roly Poly Rover...... don’t bother, just a phallic symbol and choice of chavs everywhere. You can do so much better.
@@Luckyjo21 audi q3 or bmw x3
Too expensive !
Literally just heard of a "Skoda" 2 minutes ago
