Skoda Kodiaq Plug-in Hybrid (2024) in-depth review: the PERFECT family SUV?

[@gkelly34]

Love the car. Your reviews are excellent, and your English is better than most English people I know ;)

[@ankor1979]

What can be the range of battery in a hybrid mode? In pure electric mode it`s more or less clear, but hybrid?

[@syfer222]

Does anybody know what is the max speed that can be reached only with electric mode? What is the actual limit where the petrol engine will switch in?

[@SazanD1]

It is 140 on the other phev cars so maybe a bit less since it is a bigger car.

[@anderslagerqvist2642]

How much can it pull?

[@LukaszMakucha]

is it only 2 front wheels drive or the electrical drives rear wheels (like in volvo plug in)?

[@ghitaandrei1048]

Front wheel drive.

[@aldra744]

fast charge in plug sounds great

[@sbfk6799]

3:21 - Sorry, that's a bit confusing. Are you saying you can or you can't get a plug in hybrid with 7 seats?

[@autoraiinternational]

Cannot. Only the mild hybrid and regular petrol and diesel versions fit 7 seats.

[@olavkokovkin7009]

@@autoraiinternational Gah that is so annoying! That's exactly the variant that i am looking for. This was almost perfect

[@freddymercury2259]

@@autoraiinternational Ye, that confused me too, in the video you said if you want a 7-seater you have to go for the diesel, plugin hybrid or the mild hybrid...

[@FJWH]

Just ordered the steel grey plugin hybride.

[@Bogdan_O]

@autoraiinternational Tell me please about urban and extraurban/highway fuel consumption? I am curious about it especially with an empty battery considering 1.5 petrol engine is quite a small one, in my opinion, for this almost 2000 kg car...

[@nabil101971]

It can charge while using the petrol motor

[@davejacko]

Received mine this week, great car, lovely tech, very comfortable and nice to drive. There is one thing really bugging me, you can’t schedule the charging to take advantage of cheap night time rates, a huge omission IMO. I probably wouldn’t have gone for it if i’d know.

[@moesmiol9226]

update will come in october

[@uramalakia]

Wait, what? How come? My previous gen Superb phev has it but the new lineup does not? That doesn't sound right.

[@davejackson2451]

​@@uramalakia I'm told its coming as a software update towards the end of the year, very frustrating!

[@muralimohant.d.2200]

How it drives when battery charges out. Will it become a self charging hybrid like innova hycross ? OR it becones a petrol only car with 1.5 tsi OR it will become a mild hybrid ?

[@caffjohn]

The battery never actually goes completely flat, around 5kW is hidden and used to make it perform like a hybrid car.

[@edim108]

The battery never goes completely flat. The electric motor is built into the gearbox so when the petrol engine fires up it drives the wheels and the motor which acts as a generator. The system is even clever enough to use the electric motor for enging braking so you get regenerative braking to charge the battery.

[@bsevo]

Was the enginer power enough? Did you feel it being not powerful enough or was it ok?

[@autoraiinternational]

It was perfect. All this car needs. The mild-hybrid (150 hp) however - which I also drove - felt a little underpowered ...

[@bsevo]

@@autoraiinternational Did you try to drain the battery completely and check how it performs in that setup?

[@florindinu8080]

@@autoraiinternational wpuld that mean that at highway speeds it will feel underpowered? Think above 100-120 km/h you will only run on ICE 1.5 TSI engine..

[@vladmihai306]

@@bsevo that would make it behave like a standard hybrid

NIce car, but rust is huge issue for kodiaq do they fix that ? cause my neighbour got kodiaq drove it for 2 years, and it was full of rust.. he sold this and bought octavia now..

[@VicăIlea]

So you can get 7 seats on the PHEV or not?!

[@autoraiinternational]

No, you cannot

[@user-xc4nu9lh6t]

In India we use 3 people in back usually, I sat in Octavia with high bump floor in middle this is painful. Not sure why Škoda designs this high bump . Can’t they avoid

[@dnzry2218]

That is called the transmission tunnel, which houses the transmission in the car. Of course they cannot avoid this.

[@MrRobi10]

For the huge price(60k euro), NO, it's not the perfect family SUV.

[@autoraiinternational]

60k is basically full option, starting price will be around 10-15k lower.

[@MrRobi10]

@@autoraiinternational no, they're not. In Romania normal petrol it's 37k which it's huge for the normal mold hybrid

[@boudewijn-]

60k is 100% full option with leather and sun roof.

No seat 7 that’s rubbish 😢 I thought they would make a 7 seats plug in hybrid 😢

[@EuEu-re8lv]

Ugly car!The previous generations they were beautiful.

[@serkancaner4636]

The rear lights are not nice, I did not like the two-piece shape

[@andreasb]

They really need to work on the design, specially the front. It is very ugly.

[@dainius2933]

Have you seen bmw ?:)

[@aldra744]

nearly all new car are becoming more and more ugly and expensive and crappy materials

[@enricio]

At 6.00 min. I wonder: why do car journalists find the acceleration of a car important? 🥱. In real life people rarely accelerate the pedal to the metal. 🤔. Your English is pretty good though. 😎

[@autoraiinternational]

Thanks! I agree with you, however it's worth a mention I think.
