What is it?
One of the most rounded cars on sale has entered its second generation. It’s fair to say we adored the old Kodiaq, lavishing it with praise and awards. Skoda’s coming-of-age tale probably reached its exciting climax in 2016 when the first-gen car launched, in fact.
Here was a seven-seat SUV that could send shivers down a Land Rover Discovery’s spine at a fraction of the cost, bringing quality trim, sharp dynamics and a nicely chiselled style to a surprisingly niche sector. Sure, five-seat SUVs have long since swarmed our streets. But properly practical seven-seaters are much rarer. This was among the very best.
You wouldn’t blame Skoda for deploying a modest facelift and declaring this a new car, afraid to mess up a good thing. On appearances alone, you might deduce as much: for all the talk of a new ‘Modern Solid’ design language, its bold front lighting strip and a new iteration of the Skoda badge, this keeps the general Kodiaq aesthetic and moves it on a furlong.
While those big wraparound rear lights, silver rear pillars and a lick of fresh Bronx Gold (aka glamorous brown) paint all add a bit of tinsel, anyone who’s traded in the old one ought to feel reasonably at home as they glance out the bedroom window seizing their last moment of peace before school run bedlam commences.
So what is new?
It’s actually a decent overhaul and naturally battery power has reared its head, a first in the Kodiaq. Sharing much beneath the skin with the latest Volkswagen Tiguan (albeit with more distance than the latest-gen Superb and Passat) you’ve a choice of pure petrol and diesels – yes, diesels! – while a plug-in hybrid is primed and ready to hoover up all the company car sales with its low CO2 emissions. Fully electric propulsion continues to be dealt with by the bespoke Enyaq crossover.
The pure petrols consist of a 148bhp 1.5-litre with mild-hybrid tech (for a little extra efficiency without any additional complication for the driver) and a 201bhp 2.0-litre with AWD, while the 2.0-litre diesels are split between a 148bhp tune with front-wheel drive and a 190bhp option with AWD. Skoda claims fuel economy of 47.4mpg with petrol power and 53.2mpg if you’ve gone diesel (those numbers are for five-seaters, the heavier seven-seater is thirstier).
The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) takes the 1.5-litre petrol engine and combines it with an e-motor and 25.7kWh battery for 201bhp and - brace yourself - 75 miles of official electric range. That works out at 50 to 60 miles in practice, but it’s still a worthwhile chunk of range and you don’t really suffer from running just on electric, where other PHEVs can get wheezy.
