Compare the Hyundai Santa Fe vs Skoda Kodiaq
AI generated from our expert reviews
If you are looking for a large family SUV, both the Skoda Kodiaq and Hyundai Santa Fe provide plenty of practicality, though neither is particularly engaging or exciting to drive. Out on the motorway, both models keep wind noise well-contained at a cruise. The Santa Fe brings more power across the range, alongside third-row seating that is easier to access and more spacious than the Kodiaq's rearmost seats. Even so, the third row in both cars is not especially comfortable for adults on long journeys, with the rearmost seats in the Kodiaq being better suited to children. Each car serves family life well, leaving you to decide between the extra power and third-row space of the Santa Fe and the dependable sensibility of the Kodiaq.
