Skoda Kodiaq 2024 first drive of the new king of the road

The ultimate large SUV just got a makeover and Skoda has managed to keep it the same but does that mean you should buy the current model?

Brilliant straight forward review. No fluff. Maith an Fear Bob, Keep it up!

[@user-vm7uu5tr9w]

Great video Bob

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Great video Bob, looks good 👍

[@martinwood9014]

Why buy a Range Rover? The Skoda is great, and more reliable. Great video thanks.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Good point, no one needs a Range Rover and you could have two Kodiaq’s for the price of one Range Rover 😂

[@simonmellor4028]

Great review, Bob, always a pleasure watching your reviews. I do get the distinct impression that petrol and diesel cars are being hyper- inflated, in an attempt to convert us to electric by stealth.

[@sig6394]

Keep up the great work Bob love you videos, I personally prefer the skoda superb 2.0L diesel not a fan of petrol electric why can't they be desiel phev then you have the best of both worlds 👊

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Thanks 👍

[@terrydelahunt842]

This is a good question I dont think I've ever seen it answered anywhere.

[@dan612]

The diesel engine would not resist to the stop/ start cycles of a hybrid system, especially during winter when the diesel engine usually has problems in getting to the normal operation temperature even while running continuously

[@paulj3625]

Great honest review, only negative to getting a diesel is all our short journeys, which i suspect alot of these cars do!!

[@terrydelahunt842]

Need to make sure you get a regular long journey in. I generally dont find that an issue as I live rurally and usually have a reason to do a long run, but its not for everyone. The other negative to a diesel is the price of it is only going one way.

[@gabrieloravet]

I personally would go for the 2l TSI because of the 5 ish km/ trip that I often do.

[@ericrochford3134]

Great video Bob. Think I prefer the exterior of the current model

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Fair enough!

[@rob_jarvis]

Nice vid bob.... It's mád the way the diesel is cheaper than the hybrid... Me thinks it should be the other way round!!

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Prices taken from the official price lists so it’s correct. Bit battery in the PHEV might be distorting the price

[@JOHNMTIGHE]

Plug-in hybrid one of these or wait for the superb plug in hybrid, or Skoda eniac currently driving and eniac will change next year

[@user-mo5rv5hg1r]

Skoda Eniac - и ты в долгих очередях чтобы зарядить аккумулятор.

[@vodonnell1]

2.0 tdi one of the best engines ever made.

[@m2rtsoo]

The new Kodiaq is a brilliant car, but since its so new the good spec one will set you back around 57000€. There are deals for 2023 Kodiaq vRS (12000km) for 40 000€ and i think il go with that.

[@iannoble4854]

2021 model from £27,650.. 2024 from £36,645 thats some jump in price.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

The price of ICE cars has gone up hugely while the price of battery power has gone down which is distorting the market. Car buyers are being ripped off

[@iannoble4854]

@@BobFlavinVideo I was just pointing out that Skoda are no longer a good value brand, If you choose say the top spec car from the range I would not expect to spend £s more to add heated seats ect.

[@stumps8672]

Just another way we are being forced into electric cars, ICE cars are now subsidising EV’s.

[@mhenn5895]

Poor sound quality bob microphone issues.

[@SpyPap]

For 55K I suggest you forget about the Skoda and get the new 2024 Hyundai SANTA FE.

[@user-mo5rv5hg1r]

с таким дизайном, до короля ему очень далеко. Но интерьер конечно хорош.

[@gporourke627]

Why oh why are car reviewers obsessed with boot size. It's actually just annoying and boring now. I mean what exactly are people putting in their boots. You look stupid in it. I know, I'm waiting on the comments now..

[@brianbickle7395]

Or “ scratchy plastics”. And cupholders.

[@Mancozeb100]

Some of us put dogs in the back. Tools and Toolboxes when I’m doing jobs. Cardboard boxes when going to the recycling centre. My current car has too small of a “boot” section, so the back seats remain folded down most of the time. Maybe I really need a van or a pickup !!

[@BobFlavinVideo]

I use the boot everyday for all kinds of jobs. Families put prams and equipment in them and when you buy a car you look in the boot

[@Mancozeb100]

@@BobFlavinVideo 😆👏👏 Yep - first thing I do too 😆

[@johnmull59]

I find it strange that so many reviewers open the bonnet/hood to look at the engine. It's invariably just a big piece of black plastic!

[@bextar6365]

Terrible muffled audio !

Did you not read the response from the last time you said the same thing ?

@mlann2333 looking for a reaction best ignore and get on with looking at Bobs video great having him back always insightful and worth a view
