AI generated from our expert reviews

The Skoda Kodiaq can be had with a third row of seats, which the Audi Q4 e-tron cannot offer, and the Kodiaq can also tow more. Around town, you get light steering in both cars. Over-the-shoulder visibility is poor in the Q4 e-tron due to its small rear window, whereas the Kodiaq does not have too much of a blind spot over your shoulder. Inside, you will notice scratchy plastics in both cabins. For climate adjustments, the Kodiaq keeps physical twisty knobs, whereas the Q4 e-tron moves these controls on-screen, making them harder to use on the go.
