AI generated from our expert reviews

The Skoda Kodiaq can have a third row of seats, while the Chery Tiggo 7 cannot. Up front, storage is great in the Kodiaq, whereas storage is slightly lacking in the Tiggo 7. Both cars provide plenty of or generous headroom and legroom in the back, alongside a flat or almost-flat floor so passengers have room for their feet. You will also find that visibility out of the front is decent in the Tiggo 7 and quite good in the Kodiaq.
