Owning a Skoda Kodiaq is like being best friends with someone who’s just great at everything. The sort of person who’s really skilled at DIY, is captain of their local sports team, cooks haute cuisine as a hobby and has a cupboard full of various trophies they’ve picked up over the years. As it happens, the Skoda Kodiaq does have a couple of trophies, having won Best Value 7-seat SUV and Best Tow Car at the 2026 What Car? Awards.
The point is, the Skoda Kodiaq really can do it all. It handles the daily commute and school run without breaking a sweat, then at the weekend it transforms into the ideal adventure machine. It can take you, your family and all your outdoor gear into the back of beyond, while keeping everyone comfortable and helping to minimise your running costs – leaving you with more money to spend on having fun.
Here are all the reasons we think you should consider one.
Everyday excellence
Lives are hectic. Kids need to be taken to school, you need to get to work, there are meetings here, there and everywhere, relatives must be visited on occasion, shopping must be bought and brought home, and you need to get to the park to exercise the dog (and the children). But when you have a Skoda Kodiaq on your side, all of this is taken care of with no fuss, no bluster, and more than a little luxury.
You have the option of five or seven seats, depending on just how many you have in your clan. Even with all three rows in place, the seven-seater offers 340 litres of boot space – more than some hatchbacks. That expands to 745 litres with the rear seats down. The five-seater comes with a whopping 910 litres as standard, while both offer all the useful hooks, cubbies and nets you’d expect from a Skoda to help keep your cargo where you left it.
Second-row passengers in both versions benefit from sliding and reclining seats, turning every journey positively luxurious. There’s plenty of space up front too, with loads of tech to boot, including two wireless charging pads for your smartphone, both of which are cooled, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, and a large 13inch touchscreen running Skoda’s latest MIB4 operating system for slick, intuitive interactions.
And you can stay in touch with your Skoda even when you’re miles away from it, using the MySkoda app. This allows you to check if your doors are locked from anywhere, honk the horn and flash the lights in a crowded car park, and even see how much fuel you have left.
