Škoda Kodiaq vRS - Horrendous weather put it to the ULTIMATE test ! | 4K

Loved my 2018 Octavia vRS. It’s my second best car I’ve owned (behind the 2014 M135i). Skoda make great cars, which are ridiculously practical. If you don’t need 7 seats then an Octavia vRS estate is the only family car you need. £54k though is utterly bonkers. Car prices are insane.

[@UKDagnar]

Got a Kodiaq Sportline for the 7 seats as we regularly carry 4 teenagers and 3 adults. Wasn't expecting to be blown away just a utility vehicle for shifting family and loads to the tip (you can fit ridiculous loads in it's cavernous interior, I've even managed to fit king size mattresses in it & 3m long skirting!) but I've actually been really impressed by it's comfort, driving engagement (it's no sports car but it's better than an average car) and the clever bits Skoda include like the pop out door protectors, the ice scraper, the umbrellas, the parcel shelf storage, the pop out light in the boot...the list goes on. Never thought I'd be a Skoda owner, can be a bit of a badge snob but this car has certainly changed my mind on the brand and will include them on short lists in the future.

[@frankbyrne1738]

I have a 73 plate SE L executive and for the amount of spec without add ons was 39k and the drive is so good as you said. The virtual pedal is the swing your foot under the bumper to open the tailgate. Great review Pete.

[@PetrolPed]

Very nice!

[@michaelkember8102]

I find if I plug phone in with a cable, best to do it with the car switched off. Won’t lose CarPlay at all then, but if you plug in after the engine is running it sometimes losses connection. Love the seats in my Kodiaq very comfy, even after 770miles in 11.45hrs. It’s a great car

[@stuartwest1236]

I have a 61 plate Octavia vrs diesel,best car I have ever had,6 years I've had it 6 MOTs and not 1 advisory,love it.

[@shanewaller2864]

As an ex skoda mechanic I love my skodas, in the last two years we have had a new skoda superb 2.0 190 tdi dsg sel executive estate and a new skoda citigo sel 75ps model .even at those prices skoda still represents outstanding value for I would however opt for a 4x4 tdi sel executive over the vrs ,just that little more comfortable and a few more mpgs to boot .cracking review Peter keep up the fantastic work

[@dangreasley7934]

Skoda's are just amazing cars. Totally practical, and perform well. The VRS is definitely the option to select. The name Skoda still has a bit of a stigma attached to it, but only by those who have never driven one. Always good to see a friend of the A272, Winchester to Petersfield, one of my regular commutes. Cheers Pedro

[@PixelVibe42]

I honestly think Skoda have the best blend of functionality at reasonable price points. If you're playing with company money, then get an Audi or BMW. If it's your own money, you'd be hard pressed to justify anything other than a Skoda! Great cars. Another fan of the A272 here (tried out my wife's new GTI Clubsport on it yesterday!) - but less so of the SPECS that have appeared on it :(

[@helpme9622]

I have a 2019 Skoda Kodiaq Sportline. This was a factory order with a host of options, the only difference between my Sportline and the VRS was the Bhp, the alloys and the red stitching. Even the Skoda salesman at the time stated that anyone buying the VRS over the Sportline was a lunatic considering the 5 year road tax of £570 per year, year 2-6. My road tax is £180. My previous car, Skoda Octavia VRS estate - Road Tax £30 per year!! Today it looks like the VRS has an annual road tax of £1565 although this might be year 1 followed by 5 years of £570. Pedro you included car prices in your reviews I would like to also have you mention TCO and road tax.

[@terrycurry9198]

I have owned a Kodiaq Sportline for 2 years and can honestly say its a great car to drive. I had Land Rovers for over 20 years and build quality is far superior and the drive is great. Also the four wheel drive system is adequate and has got me out of some very sticky situations.

[@TestTest-eb8jr]

54K is NOT a bargain, the Audi you're using as a reference is hopelessly overpriced....

[@neilturner6749]

Agree that the Audi was a silly reference. The equivalent VW model (Tiguan Allspace 245R) starting at £46k is a £2k cheaper than its Skoda Kodiaq twin. Surely someone at Skoda UK has screwed up on the pricing?

[@Wilko101]

I hate it when these you tubers earning big money refer to £54,000 as if it’s not that much!!!

[@Wilko101]

10 years ago this would get you a nearly new 911 and now you get a Skoda suv!!

[@NH-bz9jv]

For this car 54k IS a bargain.

[@dd9ag]

This is an obsolete model so it’s kind of irrelevant what it costs. Used prices will show whether the asking price was silly or not.

[@markrathbone179]

Great to see a video on a proper ICE car when most of the discussion is not about where to charge, how expensive it is and am I going to make it! The Kodiaq looks like a great package and as you say well put together. I agree about the red/black combo - great video!

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@trev8591]

Skodas now are amazing cars, tested a Scala Monte Carlo recently and was very impressed with the build/fit/finish. Still not convinced an SUV should have a VRS badge, though, Pete.

Great car. Had an petrol Octavia Scout as a workhorse for a few years. 100% reliable, did everything well. They're expensive now though. Still better than any EV.

[@scollyutube]

The wheels are plastic covers Ped. Just take them off, that's what I've done as look much better. Virtual pedal is opening the hatch with your foot swiping underneath the car when your hands are full. The matrix headlights are awesome too. Averaging just under 9l per 100kms on mine after a year and we live alpine, so lots of hills, skiing etc..... You are getting ripped off a bit too, these are £40k equivalent here in NZ.

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks for the tip!

[@tomashley5869]

Great video as always Pete! It is a great all round package, and it sounds good as well, even if some of that is artificial. The 2.0 litre from the Golf GTI is very capable indeed. I’d try and grab a second hand one in 2 to 3 years’ time. In grey no doubt. Cheers, Tom

[@jasonborn1978-h1i]

Great information video. I have a karoq sportline in red. Really want a kodiaq vrs or sportline in red as next car. Spot on with the connection issues. Mine does this. Standard turn off turn on usually works.

[@danielheathcote5625]

Ready good point you make about performance going for an overtake. My folks chopped out their Audi a4 multitronic 2.0 tai for a mini countryma 1.5 litre petrol. The box is responsive but they both say it hasn’t got enough pole to get out of its own way - my dad just doesn’t bother any more in it. He loves his golf 2.0 tai dsg as if he wants to get past something, he’s got great grunt just where he wants it. They’re upgrading to 2.0 litre petrol as they reckon it won’t drink much more in real world as they’ll have plenty in reserve for when they need it like a short slip road on tools back!

[@KAM-666]

I can remember when front windscreen wipers were an optional extra, “well they never started in the rain anyway 🤷‍♂️” They’ve come along way down the road since then 😁👍🏻

[@jammyb2008]

We are a year in with the Sportline model of this car and due to parts shortages it got basic Virtual Cockpit. If I was to order it again I’d option for the 2L with 4x4, the panoramic roof and VC. The LED Matrix headlights are AMAZING. The build quality is excellent and yes. CarPlay does sh*t itself every now and then. Great family car. Though I am leaning towards a Touareg next 🤔

[@rakanishu531]

As an owner of Kodiaq vRS 2.0 BiTDI - this video is okay, however missing these sweet spots of driving experience in a vRS Škodiaq :)

[@runawayronnie]

great video. As per others. I opted for the Sportline as it was better value. Added the options I wanted so it's my perfect car. I'm one of those folk who motoring hacks refer to as living an impossible lifestyle - the car is used for carrying all sorts of sporting equipment, camping, and in addition to a fully loaded car I can carry my mountain bike upright, inside the car ( all you do is mount a front fork support on a piece of wood and insert it where the load cover stores underfloor). It's such a fantastic car for us. It's now 3yr old, this is when I usually change my cars, I've had a look around and believe it or not, I can't find anything to touch my Kodiaq at any price! Seriously. I'd have to compromise in some way if I changed cars. The infotainment? Yes, the newer systems are more buggy than the older ones but still, which system isn't? I can find flaws in all systems. The only time I use Sport mode is for overtaking otherwise I leave it in normal. Over 3yr I've averaged around 40mpg which is insane. Cars are obviously subjective but for me, I've yet to see a better car that fits my lifestyle. The Mk2 Kodiaq you recently reviewed? I can already see flaws in it over the car I currently own. I kept asking myself what exactly have they improved?

[@stefanedmeades4298]

I had the same issue with my Octavia Vrs, CarPlay would just drop out and I’d struggle to reconnect. Apart from that I loved the Octavia. Skoda build quality and design has come on along way.

[@cjrp0]

Ditto in a Karoq. Have to get out, lock the car, wait for it to properly shut down and then try again.

[@stephencawley971]

I bought a 2017 Kodiaq 4x4 in 2021 for £27k. I bought it specifically as a “travel to the tip” car (property renovation!). It’s been great, has most of the features noted here and, importantly, motorway driving on Economy at ~65mph returns me 40mpg ( according to the car!). Seriously thinking about the hybrid due next year - price dependent!

[@PetrolPed]

[@kthanxlol]

Great video Ped. I’ve had my VRS Kodiaq for 18 months or so now. The plastic hubcaps lasted about a week before they went into the loft, they are dreadful, and hide a pretty wheel underneath. Performance and mpg also significantly improved on mine after 10k once it loosened itself off a bit. I regularly use all 3 rows of seats, cart dogs around and tow with mine, it’s such a versatile car. The road tax is slightly painful, but I bloody love it. BTW, press and hold the radio power button for 15 seconds and it reboots and starts again. The issue is it’s an android infotainment system.

[@DavidJones-cf6ph]

When we fell out with JLR over my wife's beloved diesel Discovery Sport we went shopping for alternatives and ended up exchanging the Disco for a 2.0 petrol Kodiaq SEL 4x4 (the first of the "new badge" versions) which we have now had for four years and put 60k miles on. She loves it and uses it as her daily, I like it but whenever I drive it I have to put it in sport mode to get the kind of steering feel it needs. In normal mode the steering is, to my mind, too light for such a large vehicle and so my start-up ritual whenever I need to drive it is to a) put it in Sport mode and b) turn off start/stop. Only problems in 60k miles have been a sticking rear parking brake motor and a replacement battery. It did over 53k miles on the initial set of tyres which I have now swapped now for Michelin Cross Climates that are thus far brilliant. My wife trains gun dogs and is frequently driving through muddy fields and farmyards and has never got it stuck even though it is not an obvious tool for that job, many of her shooting friends are impressed with how it copes in the mud. Thanks for a really good, informative video.

[@johnmull59]

Did I miss the explanation of 'virtual pedal'? I think it looks better than the VW and Audi equivalents. I don't mind the red, better than grey or silver in my opinion...at least it stands out. On a different topic, what do you think about some insurance companies not going to insure EVs just now due to possible issues with batteries damage after an accident, not to mention cost and availability of new batteries? I was thinking of going EV in next car but this has made me think. Perhaps an issue for a Q&A session?

Given the miriad of phones connecting to a multitude of different in-car systems, it's a miracle they work at all!

I’m all for a space saver, but the wheel well for it absolutely has to take a full size so you can put your original back there, as in the RAV4 or SantaFe/Sorrento if we’re comparing 7 seaters (highlander no longer available). Love the other clever touches though.

Totally agree

It would be interesting to know how the sportiness is affected by having a decent load in it. I don’t mean fully loaded but empty vehicles do handle differently.

[@paulharland2238]

I have a 23 plate octavia vrs diesel 7 speed dsg. Lovely drive, comfortable and nice cabin. However, 2 things. 1: Very suprised how much oil its using, or should i say coloured water. Skoda main dealer advised I log journeys and record oil usage! 2: The VW infotainment system is appalling. I've lost count how many times it turns off and resets. Seriously considering trading in, trouble is I'll take the hit on depreciation...

[@puffins4007]

I like Skoda's alot, my wife had a Yeti and it was brilliant, however £54,000 is alot of money for a Skoda.
