New Deal of the Day: why this SUV with spacious interior is one of the best deals right now, with over £5,100 in savings

I’ve been keeping a close eye on what’s happening with deals on large SUVs because so many buyers love them, and the Skoda Kodiaq is definitely one that stands out right now. With up to seven seats, a smart swooping dashboard design, and a broad choice of engines (including diesel), it’s a practical yet stylish option. What makes it even more appealing is that the current deals on Carwow mean you’re getting a lot of car for your money.

Here’s a breakdown of deals I like, why you should consider it, and what else is on offer.

Remember, you can buy a brand new or used car right here on Carwow. And you can also sell your car, too. We’re here to help you through every step of your car-changing journey.

Deals I’ve spotted on the Kodiaq, including over £5,100 off one trim*

The Skoda Kodiaq starts at £38,140, but through Carwow you can currently order one from around £35,186. The biggest savings are on the SportLine trim, with £5,151 off at the time of writing.

I believe this is a fantastic deal because SportLine isn’t just a styling pack. It includes 20-inch alloys, sports seats, and blacked-out trim, plus useful kit such as LED Matrix headlights and adaptive cruise control as standard. In some alternatives with similar spec, you have to pay extra for these – for example, Matrix LEDs are still a £1,500 option in the BMW X3.

The flexibility is another advantage: you can pick from a plug-in hybrid (great for short commutes) or diesel (better for long motorway runs). That means you’re not locked into an engine that doesn’t suit your lifestyle.

Just so you’re aware, we earn a commission from the dealer when you buy through Carwow, but the price you see is usually lower than going direct as multiple dealers compete to offer you their best deal.

But why consider the Skoda Kodiaq?

I think the Kodiaq is worth considering as it’s a practical 5+2 seater, with the third row best suited for children or occasional adults. It offers generous space in the second row and a 340-litre boot even with all seats in place, making it a strong choice for families who need versatility without compromising comfort.

Its design is sleek and modern, with a wider grille, sharper headlights, and a lower, longer stance. Higher trims add 20-inch alloys, contrasting panels, and an LED grille strip, while the cabin impresses with a 13-inch touchscreen, intuitive physical dials, and high-quality materials that make it feel on par with German rivals.

Engine options include petrol, diesel, and a plug-in hybrid, all with automatic gearboxes. Four-wheel drive is available on the more powerful diesel, while the hybrid offers over 60 miles of electric-only range and fast-charging, ideal for commuters or company car drivers. The Kodiaq prioritises comfort, practicality, and refinement, delivering a smooth, reliable drive for families and anyone needing a spacious SUV.

Alternatives to the Skoda Kodiaq

If you’re considering the Skoda Kodiaq, there are a few great alternatives worth noting:

• Peugeot 5008: This is a slick 7-seater with clever sliding seats, but its tiny third row boot makes the Kodiaq feel like the better choice for real family practically.

• Land Rover Discovery Sport: This looks and feels premium with standard all-wheel drive, but it’s pricier and tighter in the back, so the Kodiaq often gives you more space for less cash.

• Nissan X-Trail: This offers plenty of space, but if you’re after more boot space. The Kodiaq wins hands down.

Why should you listen to me? I’ve been a motoring journalist for more than two decades, testing and reviewing a huge variety of cars, so I know what makes a deal genuinely good versus what just looks good on paper. My experience helps me spot value, practicality, and hidden extras that matter in real life, not just in marketing brochures.
