Skoda Kodiaq Review, For Sale, Colours, Interior & News in Australia

The Skoda Kodiaq continues the Skoda legacy of being the sameā€¦ but different.

In this case the Czech brand has delivered a proper mid-size SUV, but with seven seats like a large SUV.

Named after the Alaskan bear that shares its name with its island namesake, the first-generation Kodiaq is based on the Volkswagen group MQB platform like most Skoda and Volkswagen products.

The range now extends from the Kodiaq Style (4X4) 132TSI which arrives at $51,490 and extends up to the Kodiaq RS (4X4) 180TSI which will set you back $69,290.

Within its first year on sale the Kodiaq range had grown to include petrol and diesel versions with a Sportline trim level sitting above the base grade. All Kodiaqs feature all-wheel drive which Skoda labels as 4x4.

Skoda Kodiaq Interior

The interior of the Skoda Kodiaq is clever, but hasn't changed a lot for the most recent facelift.

All grades have a 9.2-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless connectivity, plus a wireless smartphone charger. In fact, Skoda calls its cabin "wire-free", which might explain why there are only two USB-C ports in the front, and none for the rear rows of seats.Ā 

There's also a "Virtual Cockpit" digital instrument cluster on all grades, which looks great and is easy to use, too.
