Skoda Kodiaq vRS SUV 2019 in-depth review - Carbuyer

[@rabit818]

Mom drops kids home then go drifting at the supermarket parking lot

[@abdulfooligan1395]

Before picking up the groceries of course.

[@rinunculartoo3006]

Don't most housewives? I get really nervous walking yo the entranceway of the supermarket, the carpark resembles a race track.

[@wakandaforever5732]

If you want a good looking kodiaq, buy the Sportline, well said Ginny.

[@paddydowney6269]

So in summary .... it’s diesel, it’s slow by any sporty standard, has high tax, fake exhausts, and it’s massively expensive. I would love to hear a real buyer justify this

[@jbenekeorr]

Totally agree! I’m struggling to get my head around the universal desire to drive massive SUV’s, let alone faux ‘sporty’ ones with pretend carbon fibre when the car is unnecessarily huge.

[@violahelmsdale2171]

@@jbenekeorr its all about the joes and samanthas that think a big car makes them safe in crashes

[@paddydowney6269]

notformebeaky I’ve no problem at all with diesel, I even drive one. However, this is billed and priced as a sporty car, yet it’s very slow and if you’re buying a new car, the fact that diesel sales are dropping FAST for pollution reasons has to be taken into account. Why not just put more power in it. This is Golf R money for a family car.

[@Cdawgone1]

I love diesel because of lower CO2 then benzin and better fuel consumtion. Diesel is not slow, it has better tourque in lower speeds than benzin with the same power. High tax like all cars with that power. Fake exchaust is what I dont like. Massively expensive because of quality what you get, better then BMW or Seat etc., cheaper parts if she brokes. BMW and other just have names not so much better quality then Skoda, ask mechanics about Skoda cars. I was driving Skoda Octavia RS diesel and that was one of the best cars for me and my family.

[@Cdawgone1]

KSERGEIBY It's ok, but with X1 you can't go off road. He is just for shoping. My friend have X1 and It's a good and quality car but not so much better then Kodiaq like many people say.

[@shroomyesc]

4:10 Exposed metal in the interior of a car this expensive is simply unacceptable. In a 10k city car? Sure. Not in a 43k SUV.

[@suricateenerve165]

Shut up you know nothing. the new class b got exposed metal, the classe A too. it cost the same as this. you'r welcome. you'r not in a luxury car. its a kodiaq. wich doesnt cost a lot for what ithas to offer.

[@eemeli6706]

@@suricateenerve165 b and a class cost much less than a kodiaq in my country

[@thedavephan]

I’d rather have the “exposed” painted metal than them put a plastic trim over it that makes visibility worse and extra potential for rattling

Do you have some phobia of exposed metal or something??? lol I don't endorse this Skoda, but what has 'exposed metal' have to do with anything?

For that amount of money you get the barebone R-design with no additional features and the 150hp engine.

[@PlanetautoUK]

It looks great, and those seats, we’ve got this in the coming weeks, the guys can’t wait, thank you

[@joshbacon8241]

Why isn’t the 2.0 TDI 150PS 4x4 7 seater *manual* version of the Kodiaq certified for towing like its DSG equivalent? How come Škoda decided NOT to approve that version of the Kodiaq for towing? 🤔

[@Guvb235]

I just don’t get why they didn’t fit the Golf R engine to it. That would be far better suited to a vRS than the biTDI it’s currently got - it would be quicker and give the car much more character.

[@seb.]

CO2 something...

[@robtheplod]

[@lucrolland7489]

There is no need to SUV in the UK. The MPVs or the minivans make more sense. It is much better to buy a Gran Picasso or Gran Scenic. Stop making people think that SUVs give value.

[@funkymonkey1198]

I'm no badge snob but 43k for a skoda. Come on. 33k and i would buy one

[@ricco123tube]

You can buy a badge of your choice on ebay for not much and you’ll have the image you are looking for. I judge not.

[@toshlanark]

[@RB_750GS]

Ateca Cupra? Hah

[@jirikral8839]

So which one you will choose Kodiaq VRS or Discovery Sport HSE Luxury (234bhp diesel version)?

[@steveross8326]

A great review, I agree that that the 190 Sportline is the sensible option. The VRS is way too expensive!

[@razvandobos9759]

Wish we had these in the US.

[@killiangmurphy]

You say make over but take away the VRS badges and its exactly the same looking as the sportline version

[@alstalda]

OMG!..... Where did you get those shoes? 😂

[@tomoshughes123]

Don't get me wrong the Sportline is nice! But the VRS is just beautiful, the colour and those wheels 😍........BUT....... 45K for a Skoda SUV?!?! That's quite expensive! Soooooo for that money I'd go straight into a Seat garage and buy the CUPRA Ateca! A 305BHP Petrol Engine that sounds just incredible for a family SUV!

[@teovm]

Great review again. Honest one too. Those money just for a 7 seater, that has no ISOFIX in the back seats. Also with those big 20" wheels and those small brake disk looks like it's on stilts. I hate it on all modern cars. And a Diesel, whaaaaat? It's just keeping the the price up. On the other hand how will it differ from the Cupra. They will collide, so just don't bother making it. Imo the twin TDI is not used enough and they decided to make a dedicated model to it.

[@alexquinn9213]

I have a kodiaq SE L and it’s mint! But a big part of why it’s a class car is what you get for the money. This spec chucks that out the window. Still a class motor but not worth the price. I would consider buying a scout or a sport line but this nah

[@everydayyoutube5544]

I had a new Skoda Rapid for 5 years and I did 52,000 km. Can't say that I loved it, nor that I hated it. Keep in mind that I took great care of it. But in those 5 years the heater got clogged(warranty covered it since it was a factory defect), the steering wheel started peeling off, the headlights stopped working and the front suspension started rattling on the left when the weather was cold.

[@slcarsuk]

So typical vag rubbish. I had a Passat never again.

[@neilndebs]

[@harkmannah7432]

Not a full size 7 seater family car with only two isofox that you would realistically use. Q7 has 3 across the middle and two in the back. Also Ginnie stop with the ‘fake parts’ issue. It would look ridiculous with one exhaust. It’s a design thing and not everything on a car is there purely for function.

[@seb.]

Q7 is almost 40cm longer

[@filipefmelo]

I’d like to see the Land Rover and the X3 with the same equipment cost the same as this one. That’s just a dishonest comparison.

[@stevenham1937]

Trouble is it's like she said. The 2.0tsi sports line looks as good. It's about 0.5 seconds slower to 60 only and it keeps you below that 40k fresh hold where you get an extra £1500 of road tax cost. It makes no sense in the UK market especially knowing that they are going to keep cracking down on diesel vehicles that'll effect its value or cost you more going in to some city centres in the near future
