Which is better? The Škoda Kodiaq or the Volkswagen Tiguan? Best family SUV UK 4K

[@radoslavkotrik9315]

I have tested both. Skoda = less noise to me, much more luxurious interior, better dashboard

[@nat_blueberry7011]

Skoda looks way more premium than Tiguan.

[@lumajs]

The group generously makes cars for everyone's taste. Those who prefer the premium, rugged, structured, handsome, muscular, comfortable, authoritative designs will probably pick the Kodiaq. Those who prefer to praise the uninspiring dull cheap looking flat weak ugly duckling will go for the Tiguan 😂.

[@avgusak]

But when you sit inside and see and touch the materials, you realize that Skoda is a little bit lower then VW...

[@lumajs]

@@avgusak You are wrong, the interior materials and the finish are a bit better in Škoda these days, too. Some of the cheaper VW feeling is hidden behind their more sustainable, animal free, and otherwise politically correct efforts which are stronger than in Škoda but it is hard to verify how much sustainable VW actually is and whether the compromises are necessary.

[@nat_blueberry7011]

Really liked this comparison format. Great job, Tish! I'd take the SKODA out of the two, seems to win on practically

[@AC-ManuGB]

This should be Tiguan vs Karoq, not the Kodiac. The Kodiac is a 7 seater, you can only compare this against a Tiguan Allspace. The Tiguan is the equivalent of the Skoda Karoq, and the Seat Ateca and they each use the same floor plan.

the new Kodiaq sport line in race blue is best

[@chryschrysostomou5392]

If I do opt for a non-EV car, it would need to be a PHEV. I don't need 7 seats and the Tiguan boot is ample. So, minimum external dimensions are best. After viewing your presentation of the Tiguan, I'm thinking the top power PHEV would probably be my choice, even though I recommend the Skoda everywhere! How would the Superb Estate in PHEV stand up in a 5 seat test? Brilliant comparison presentation, thank you Tish! ❤

[@Jishin85]

Well, the Skoda Kodiaq IV, the PHEV option, is coming end of year if you are willing to wait. It will be 5 seats only and it's personally what I'm waiting for.

Always had VW but I like the new outside shape of the Skoda without bright plastic wheel arches and front and rear of the VW. The inside of the Skoda I’d also less bright and modern plastic look. I think VW have over shown their modern views with the Tiguan.

The Tiguan is better looking on the outside, the interior of the Kodiak is much more premium in appearance anyway. Did I hear correctly that all the Tiggies are front drive only? If so I’d give it a miss on that alone..

[@AutoSocialUK]

Yes!! All front wheel drive for now 🤯🤯🤯

I really like both of them. If I have to pick one, it will be the Tiguan only because it's slightly smaller, easier to park and I don't think I will need 7 seats in the foreseeable future. Great video. :)

why would you compare a D segment SUV with a C segment? It should be Karoq to be compared, not Kodiaq.

[@harlowrog1]

Not when you compare the prices

[@janbruinenberg5767]

Hi Tish. Great comparison. Thanks. Indeed a question of taste (classy of somewhat more modern) and need fore space. My choice is the Tiguan. But what about the driving experience? The kodiaq is about 117 kilo more than the Tiguan. (Both 1.5 Tsi 110 kw petrol version). Can you share your findings?

[@AutoSocialUK]

Tbf, for the driving I do, they both felt perfectly adequate and you didn’t feel the added weight of the Kodiaq. However, the 2.0 diesel felt much more suited on the Skoda. I enjoyed that the most.

Eh are these cars not both in different classes? However if I was to choose it would be the Skoda of course. There is a reason thatcVW have Skoda building the new Passet because Skoda do it better. I would choose the Skoda it will be better built looks better inside and out and it will be more reliable and possible cheaper too with better equipment as well.

[@Pavlogradski]

Amazing work Tish! Great sound level and video colors. Looking forward to 50k right ❤

[@lordcritias]

Both got it pros and cons. Skoda looks unlovable from the rear, Tiguan from the front. Sadly the skoda interior just looks premium, but is not. The Tiguan interior looks way better during night where the LED just are better made. Same can be said about speakers, HD matrix vs skoda older. They made it intentionally that Skoda is getting worse technology while the cost is almost similar.

[@anthonystevens8683]

As mentioned Skoda is no longer the bargain brand for cars and let's face it they haven't been for quite a while. What they do offer though is decent spec and space with more function over form. It might be worth looking at the equipment though. From experience some features standard on the VW are options on the Skoda and vice versa. Personally for my money I'd consider the Skoda if it would fit in my driveway.

[@davidjones535]

Nothing more then today's version of the mini vans of the 1980s and 90s and doesn't any car makers do compact cars any more that don't cost a arm and a leg .

[@Rm-no6jr]

Thanks for the nice review. Tbh, the old Tiguan is in all departments better than this new version. I do think, all those changes inside and out are more about following the trend in the market, specially in Asian cars. The old Tiguan is timeless and clean inside and out.

[@viktorslavov9097]

I've sat and in driven both cars. Kodiaq is much cheap on the interior inside and Tiguan is way more refined car on the road. To me Tiguan looks much more modern wheres Kodiaq retains the old boring cabin style and exterior.
