The Skoda Kodiaq offers plenty of practical appeal, capable of towing more than the Omoda 7 and available with a third row of seats, which the Omoda 7 cannot have. When manoeuvring, both cars feature light steering, but over the shoulder your view is not great in the Omoda 7 as a result of its thick rear pillars, whereas the Kodiaq avoids having too much of a blind spot. If you want some engagement from behind the wheel, the Omoda 7 is capable and borderline fun to drive on a twisty road, while the Kodiaq is not very much fun down a twisting back road. The Omoda 7 also provides extra peace of mind with a pretty comprehensive warranty, whereas the Skoda comes with only the bare minimum of cover.
