The Kodiaq is a completely new model SUV body type. It is the first Skoda model that makes that kind of body and also the first with more than five occupants capacity. Since November 2016 can be Skoda place orders and make the first deliveries in early 2017. In this and this list are the prices of all versions of the prices are known, with five and seven seats respectively.

The closest thing on the market model is the Ford Kuga 2017 petrol and 120 horsepower, which costs EUR 24,500. The Skoda Kodiaq is bigger, faster and uses less fuel. The Hyundai Tucson and KIA Sportage, both with petrol engine of 132 horses, are clearly more economical than the Skoda Kodiaq, but its size is smaller. Despite the power advantage of Korean models they are not faster, according to official data.

Diesel engine with 150 horsepower, all - wheel drive and manual transmission, costs 28,500 euros. The price is the same if you choose front - wheel drive and automatic gearbox (DSG), and is also priced lower than most of its alternatives. For now, Skoda has not provided the price of Kodiaq with this diesel engine, front wheel drive and manual transmission.

It is available with five or seven seats, always with the same body length, 4.69 meters. The space available for passengers is similar to other comparable size SUV like the Nissan X-Trail (4.63 meters), the KIA Sorento (4.78 meters), the Hyundai Santa Fe (4.66 meters) and the Mitsubishi Outlander (4.69 meters) - and the trunk is one of the highest capacity among SUVs measuring less than 4.8 meters long.

Pilots can have two designs. The wheel arches and lower bumpers and doors are unpainted plastic.

The Kodiaq has ingenious solutions, like an umbrella inside each of the front doors, a flashlight with magnet and a system that protects the edges of the doors to avoid damaging them against a wall or damaging the car is parked next. This system is similar to that used Ford in Focus and consists of a plastic piece that opened the door pivots from inside protecting the edge of the door.

There are five possible engines, three petrol -125, 150 and 180 hp and two Diesel -150 and 190 hp. The gasoline of 125 and 150 hp have a displacement of 1.4 liters and the rest 2.0. In the gasoline engine 150 hp Skoda uses the system off half the cylinders when the torque demand is low.

With the gearbox occurs as traction systems: manual transmission is the only available for the 125 hp engine and an alternative in the 150 hp; automatic, dual clutch, is standard on the 180 and 190 hp and optional on the 150 hp.

Although the Kodiaq is not planning to be used off-road, its ground clearance (194 mm) height and all-wheel drive allow relatively complicated circular areas. Optional for all versions is a selector driving modes that alter, among other things, the response speed of the engine, the operation of the automatic transmission, the operation of the HVAC system and power steering. The available modes are Normal, Eco, Sport, Individual and Snow. Snow mode is exclusive to the version with four drive wheels and modifies the operation of different systems of the car (disables the ABS and stability control, reduces the sensitivity of the accelerator pedal and enables control hill descent, between other) to increase adhesion to surfaces with little grip.

In the best case, the lighter Kodiaq weighs 1515 kg (Outlander, 1430 kg, X-Trail, 1505 kg and Santa Fe, 1777 kg; sheet comparative ) and the drag coefficient is 0.33 (as the Sorento). It can tow up to 2500 kg and a system is provided to facilitate parking maneuvers with - what trailer premiered the Audi Q7 - in which turning the adjustment knob mirrors the trailer operating automatically steering the car is driven.
