The Skoda Kodiaq is longer than the Renault 4 E-Tech, can tow more, and can have a third row of seats, which the Renault cannot. Both cars give you a good view out the front. On the motorway, wind and road noise never becomes a problem in the Renault 4, while wind and road noise are well-contained at a cruise in the Kodiaq. In town, the Renault’s narrow body makes it easy to navigate through width restrictions and tight city streets, whereas in petrol, diesel or plug-in hybrid guise you can certainly feel the Kodiaq’s size when navigating tight roads. For passengers, the Kodiaq has loads of room for adults in its middle row, whereas adults in the back of the Renault 4 will probably start feeling cramped on long journeys.
