I owned a Kodiaq for four years and it was excellent in every way but this revamp has really taken it to another level. I like every single one of the improvements and really like the rear side window treatment!

Great review Tish. I like your new look also. Keep up the good work.

I have ordered mine yesterday - exact finishes from the video + panoramic roof 😊

Hi Tish - most high-end leather for cars (Aston, Jaguar, Range Rover etc..) is actually produced sustainably in Scotland. At Bridge of Weir leather. It is produced from hides from animals that have been slaughtered for food consumption. If these hides were not made into leather, they would take decades to degrade in landfill. Animals are not bred and slaughtered to be made into leather.

The vegan and anti leather fools have allowed lies to be spread. Those who love leather or work with leather all attest to the fact, of “animals are never killed wholly for the leather”

Always great reviews. Thanks, Tish.

Thanks Trish. Great skirt.

Enjoyed the video. I recently viewed all the Skoda range at the dealers, as I’m looking to renew my car soon. As a former yellow patrol of 28 years, can I say I hardly ever went to a new Skoda breakdown. The styles and quality of build in the new range are very good indeed. I have been to see several other well known brands and found Skoda well above a lot of them. To think back 15/20 years ago they were tin boxes filled with plastic. Wow, wow Skoda how they have improved. Do we now rank them among the prestige brands 🤔👌

I love all the new Skoda models. Great review!

Waiting to see what the infotainment options are like. I had one of the first kodiaq and have switched around since 2017,and the new model looks interesting. Hopefully the old columbus system has been fully replaced.

A great quick view of the new Kodiaq Tish. I really like the outgoing model but this new one makes the old one look quite dated. The changes are more revolutionary than evolutionary and I think it looks all the better for it, less boxy on the outside but still functional on the inside. It's worth noting that this model, like other manufacturers is the top of the range for a show model. I have to take my hat off to Skoda for keeping some of the physical knobs and buttons and not blindly following some other members of the VW group with just a touch screen. This new design could also give us an idea of what the next generation Karoq will look like in a year or so time. Many thanks for sharing.

Hi, great review! Covered everything that needed to be covered without using any terms a common person won't understand! What are your thoughts about the colour - since the one they are showing in brochures is more yellow compared to a bronze- green-gold seen here.

Skoda have pulled off a nice refresh, I’d like to see the exterior in person but there’s no major alarm bells going off, the interior though certainly looks very nice.

Super good review! 👍😊

They are not squeezing any room into the vehicle. On the contrary, they allow the interior of the vehicle to inflate further out into the outer space. ;-)

@brajeshsingh2391

that is a very good observation. The thing I noticed that this car has really utilized its space very well. I mean the exterior styling is very standard to say. But the spacing inside is well done. And the extra space at the back ? Brilliant. Means you can always tuck that extra luggage at the back for the long trip. Must be expensive though. Its interesting how these upper economy brands are now competing with luxury brands. As the consumer becomes more self aware and chooses utility over brand name in car you might see a merging of brands into becoming a category. The category is guess is now the luxury.

It’s lovely but your are certainly paying for it, these cars are so overpriced the majority of people can’t afford them especially ones with family’s. This is why I think the Dacia bigster will take a lot of sales from this especially if it starts around low £20k mark yes the interior is definitely not the same quality and likely not as fast but if it undercuts this by £15,000-£20,000 it’s worth a look

Skoda have come lightyears from the days of the jokes they were in the 70's. I can picture the new Kodiaq in black which would look awesome. The interior is beautiful. Again who would have thought in the 70's you would be saying about a Skoda! One thing that wasn't featured and was wondering if it still had it was the pop out tow hitch? What a great idea that is if you tow regularly. Another great review Tish.

Most of the jokes built on Škoda 105 and 120. You should watch a recent U.S. review of that car. It was evaluated as sale-proof but it was also seen to be simply clever already back then! See kzread.info/dash/bejne/oHdkzqp_pMXJaco.html

Just like the car, this review was logical, practical and very enjoyable

I have a 2020 edition and will be trading it in for this new model

I like this interior. Really good Skoda have kept the well designed manual climate controles. Skoda, and VW as well should do the same on all of their EV´s

That is so nice It's so dangerous watching your new reviews i always want a new car

this one is top notch L&K line, extra pricey, that's why the interior is so nice.

great quick review of the new model (interior is great), but they need to get rid of gloss black plastic entirely, exterior version will scratch on first drive/wash! interior versions just scratch easy, come on use some thing better inside, like a matt wood that Mazda use. welcome proper interior controls in VAG cars, after their dumb touch button ideas.

When it comes to engines etc Skoda are the same as most VAG cars. I'm surprised about the climate controls though. I thought you had buy an Audi to get sensible ones on a VAG car these days.

Perhaps someone could explain to me who needs and who uses such big cars. They are more expensive to buy, operate and maintain, more difficult to park and impractical for daily commute. I can understand that a bigger car is useful for a family trip but families don’t go on trips on a weekly basis and a common family sedan may be as practical. So who needs and buys such big cars?

She is stunning!! An impressive piece of machinery from Czech Republic. But it's got some serious competition in its class: VW, Volvo, Toyota, Mercedes (especially with their own interior lighting) and of course Jeep. Truly an exciting time to be an SUV fan.

Some 10 yrs ago this presentation might create some interest, but new old Skoda Kodiaq has nothing much to impress. Simple Joseph Kaban old cosmetics with degrading quality of power train and overall finishes. Price is also a step back factor comparing to competition. I owned a brand new Superb for more than a decade and things were OK with some issues (full suspension replaced in 2000 km / excessive oil consumption / ..) discussed with top decision makers from Skoda, but not much solved. When you are constantly ignoring Skoda owners might not expect them to come back.
