Compare the Volkswagen Tayron vs Skoda Kodiaq
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both of these family SUVs offer light steering around town that helps shrink their bulk in urban driving. In seven-seat versions, the third-row chairs in both models are best suited to children rather than adults over long distances, and choosing either car as a plug-in hybrid means you lose those rearmost seats entirely, leaving them strictly as five-seaters. Out on the motorway, the Volkswagen Tayron includes adaptive cruise control as standard across the range, whereas the Skoda Kodiaq fits regular cruise control by default and reserves an adaptive system for the top-spec trim or an expensive optional pack.
