Skoda Kodiaq 2024 - why we love the diesel so much!

The new Skoda Kodiaq 2024 is here and about to make some waves, you can order it today and get it in June but I'd be quick because this has the beginnings of a waiting list, especially in diesel.
That's right Skoda are continuing to produce diesel for their cars alongside the petrol, mild-hybrid and PHEV.
I can't wait to get a drive!

I have to say Skoda are absolutely rocking it at the moment. Good to see you back Bob, hope recovery is going well for you:)

[@andyburnett8012]

Bob I've loved all your videos and so glad to see you back continuing with your car reviews, great to see you on the mend 👍😀

[@sig6394]

Great video Bob, really glad your back my friend, keep doing what you do best mate 👍 👌 👏

[@barryquinn5840]

Best of luck with your recovery 👍🏻 Great to see that you’re still putting out great content 👍🏻

[@kingoneeyed3433]

With the introduction of the double fist in the rear I thought Bob had moved to only fans! Good to see you keeping on Bob.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Double fists of fun!

[@davidhanna6057]

Great to have you back Bob doing what you love and we love you doing!! Lovely car too.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Thank you kindly!

[@rustyfox81]

Spot on !!!

[@Iceberg1313]

Great to see you get your chance with the Kodiaq. Lovely to see you still have your sense humour and that you're coming along nicely. Currently have the Kodiaq in the 1.5 petrol as most of our journeys are town based but once on the main road the old consumption isn't that bad, about 6,8L at 100kph and it's so damn quiet and comfortable that you have to watch that speedometer as you'll find yourself travelling a lot quicker than you should 🙈🤣

[@neilvinyl]

Great video Bob. Good to see you back and I hope your recovery is going well!!

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Thank you kindly, its going well so far

Glad to see you back doing reviews again. Your reviews were good to watch, and very entertaining. Informative. As you say (kind of) "Keep on the right sade".

[@alankelly1542]

Great review Bob. My favourite car reviewer. Skoda really make some fantastic cars. I have had 3 and am currently running an Enyaq. My choices were made based on the reviews from the legend that is Bob Flavin. Thanku sir. Looking very svelte may say Bob. Certainly great to see you doing what you do better than the rest sir ❤

[@bripiry]

Thanks Bob, great video. Keep up the good work 👍

[@RJWB67]

Great video. Enjoyed your videos for years after i bought an A6 biturbo after seeing your review. Keep up the great work. 👍💪😀

great video... couldn't understand you before .... :) wishing a speedy recovery

Smashing look at the new Kodiaq Bob. Great to see you back in business.

[@petrolbased]

Great to see you back at it Bob . Phev version will be handy for low BIK

[@Ragorar]

Those green stripes look futuristic Bob! Regarding the Skoda, looks like a solid car! build but prices…

[@johnrees8322]

You look as if you've really been through the mill, Bob. Kudos to you for cracking on

[@Ej239B]

Hi Bob, Looking forward to you test driving the new Kodiaq in the near future. It’s a good looking SUV. I also wish you all the best for the future, and a quick return to good health. As usual you done a great job reviewing the Kodiaq. Ej.

[@MrJordanwain]

Happy to see you review the new Kodiaq Bob! Couldn’t think of a better reviewer to watch on this subject!!

[@Mancozeb100]

Great to see you rocking it again, Bob. Kodiaq is more modern day Land Rover than Land Rover ! (Well - since the Yeti went)

[@ian..slattery]

Good review Bob, looking forward to seeing you on the road with it. Currently on my 3rd Kodiaq and can't fault them...

[@lukedavey4431]

Oh, I love this model. Great to see you Up and about Bob. I would love to catch up with you.

[@barryjmarling]

Bought my first Skoda over a year ago,there fantastic cars (Karoq Sportline) will definitely by one again,still get some mocking the fact it’s a Skoda,but the number on the roads shows how great these cars are,great video with one of the greatest reviews doing it,thank you Bob.

[@larrymulryan5305]

Nice one pity we can't get it here in Canada, good to see you back on the job Bob.

[@carlseddon2392]

Good to see you bob 😊

[@kd6gs]

Love watching your videos

[@Jags22079]

Excellent video.... thanks

[@minnietoby]

You were missed Bob , great to see you back, really looking forward to you test drive this car, I absolutely love the Kodiaq traded mine in for a new sorento last year which is also a lovely car with lots of tech for your money but the seats are nowhere near as comfortable as the Kodiak, so in another year I will go back to one.

[@barryoconnell8179]

Great review Bob. Looks like a great motor. I think you need to get a room with that Skoda too!!!

[@stephencarney3982]

Good to have you back on KZbin Boss 😎

[@jaspermcfly2765]

Thanks!

[@TheKhirocks]

Great video as always Bob. Would love to see you driving the 7 seater version so we can get an idea of legroom for the 2 back rows. Fair play to Skoda keeping a good sized diesel option. Keep the vids coming, its important that the irish spec cars get represented on KZbin by someone who knows what they are doing such as yourself.

[@ROGEXTREME]

I have a 2018 tdi 150 manual 4x4 from new. Great car no problems. Will be keeping it as new car prices are ridiculous. Great review, thanks.

[@johnbir8321]

Take care Bob !

[@Lensman3333]

Bob, wishing you well, good health mate.

[@Forsyth0]

Welcome back Bob and all the best with your recovery! I just wanted to clarify that the language shown on screen at around 3m8s is actually Swedish and not Czech :)

[@panagiotisnikoloudakis4949]

Stay strong! God bless you.

[@kaypee1972]

Great car, great review!

[@joeo8919]

Great Scoop, PHEV version only available in 5 seat version due to space required for the 25kWh battery.

[@terrydelahunt842]

Good review Bob. Will it be available in 5 seater here with 4wd/awd? How big is the boot with the seats up?

[@conorhanley9009]

That’s some bus very impressive considering a new Honda CRV is nearly 70k great to see you back Bob ✌️✌️

[@b4ggy007]

Great video, can’t wait to see the car being driven would love a real world comparison of the PHEV and diesel driving experience, like you say the straight petrol would seem a bit underpowered for the size of car.

[@NedNew]

I like those multi function rotary controls, there very easy to use and they also look good.

[@mibr8148]

RECOVERY is written on the truck with Kodiaq - I wish you all the best and keep my fingers crossed for your RECOVERY. I'm sure this sign is good for you. Thank you for the Kodiaq review - the PHEV version is my target.

[@panathaninf]

Thanks Bob for the excellent review, I'm interested in the 7th seater but cant get any skoda rep to answer me if there are isofix points in the 3rd row... any idea? Otherwise any SUV with isofix in the 3rd row you are aware of??? Cheers!

[@brianbickle7395]

Audi Q7 according to google 😊😊

[@stephenmulligan2483]

Welcome 🎉back Bob. Skoda not a patch on the Nissan X Trail E Power.?.. stay safe.

[@alanblack9540]

Ive read receny that diesell sales are on the rise again. Yes, EV is running well, but in real world terms, for a lot of people, diesel and petrol is still the only option. Will EV be a thing looking forward long term...remains to be seen. Trade-in values are poor at best. Clean burning internal combustion has to be the long term solution. My money is on a hydrogen revolution in next 5-10 years. Great work as always Bob. You're flying it.

[@damienminnock6509]

Great review. I bought a Kia Sportage last year and I love it. My only gripe is that the boot space is not great, tiny. The longer wheel base version in the US and Australia are what should be available here as an option too. So next time round I'll be looking for something else with a larger boot and the new Skoda Kodiaq looks perfect. I need a Diesel as I drive a lot with work. Electric does not work on trips from Derry to Cork. Wishing you all the best with your recovery and wishing you every health and happiness.

[@terrymolloy6997]

Lovely car bob,and I need the diesel will be big the seller with the torque as it's a big car

[@markmurphy7301]

Great review Bob, we're on our 5th Skoda. Fine cars. Great to see you powering through!

[@pl1068]

So happy that they are still producing diesels, I still have my Audi A4 avant 1.9tdi sport that I bought in 2003, I loved it so much that I shipped it from UK to New Zealand 17 years ago. It’s outlasted all the other cars that have come and gone. Great review 😊👍🏻 Yes please for driving the car.

[@Janskatesnyc]

Speedie recovery!

[@yatinsehloth2801]

Best of luck with your recovery, also one question is it good decision to still buy new diesel car specially when Ireland plan to stop ICE cars soon?

[@DuffffMan00]

Absolute beast of a car

[@jimj2683]

Kodiaq has the best space for rear passengers I have ever felt. I can stretch out fully at 5'11". I couldn't stretch out as well in a new bmw i7...

[@robertmulhall6823]

It looks like a serious machine!

[@davidktk]

Bring back the Sunday Service!

[@CynicalBastard511]

The EU has already sentenced diesel to death, so I trust that the European Union knows what they are doing. My best to you Bob. I wish you an excellent recovery.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Making engines until 2035 so over 10 years away.

[@olkarls5494]

EU does NOT know what they are doing...

[@brendanjburns2969]

They are a fantastic car Bob.

[@Michael-dp4fo]

Wow the prices are getting out of control a car for the rich

[@zerma6]

I don’t know bob. I don’t know what happened to him but I wish him good recovery. However you may want to put subtitles .

[@mso8190]

Lovely car. I'm still fond of diesel engines. It would be my pick. Any plans on reviewing the facelift Kuga?

[@davidbrady6987]

looks like a nice motor

[@vishnudhanpal]

Does the Kodiaq iV come in 7 seat too?

[@paulstewart3010]

🗣It's just "WONDERFUL" to see you back Bob where you firmly belong!! And l👀king good for it also!! Yea Skoda seem to be the brand to fully watch atm!! Just wish they had hidden the rear window wiper up inside the roof top spoiler, the way Lexus do with their stunning Rx!! As it so tidies up the rear end so much better!! Your ever up North, I'll give you some free Reflexology to help loosen your neck up!! 😘💕👣

[@danielchristian9833]

Is the 1.5 litre powerful enough for this size? The 2 litre petrol is reported to be quite thirsty. Or is the 2 litre 150bhp diesel the best choice?

[@BobFlavinVideo]

I would have the diesel for this car in all situations but I don’t live in a city

[@danielchristian9833]

@@BobFlavinVideo Thanks Bob! I live in Dublin but would stick to diesel as you have suggested. My wishes and prayers for your quick and perfect recovery.

[@carlrea]

Great vid Bob. That looks brilliant and will sell loads.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Yes it will

[@tanti1943]

Whats the price star from

I wonder if the software is still shyt

[@MsItalia007]

Dental work or stroke? What's up with Bob. Hope it's not serious.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

I got mouth cancer last year so surgery and radiotherapy has me talking funny, I'm awaiting another surgery to fix it up

[@MsItalia007]

All the best with the recovery. I bought a Superb after seeing your review a few years ago. Feeling tempted by this Kodiaq now. Skoda should be paying you a commission.

[@davecobb5649]

Respect to you Bob for getting back on the horse after such an ordeal. Having had two ops and chemo, I know what a shit cancer can be. Good to see you back again. Take it easy and all the best for your recovery.

[@travellingman4609]

Looks like a BMW X1. Last Kodiaq was nicer imo. I prefer the look of the Enyaq but that's such a comprimised EV.

[@user-ru5wc1qe1n]

Great to see you back Bob, best wishes on your recovery- diesel aint going anywhere

[@Lensman3333]

The only problem is, they do NOT produce a Full Self Charging Hybrid.

Big disappointment there at the end Bob. Looked like you might be going in for a little respray 🤭
