Skoda Kodiaq Specs & Dimensions

S models are the cheapest in the Kodiaq range but come with most of the kit you need. You get a 6.5-inch infotainment screen that is compatible with your smartphone, DAB radio, automatic emergency braking, air conditioning, keyless entry and 17-inch alloy wheels.

SE models strike the best balance between price and standard equipment. They look smarter than basic S cars thanks to 18-inch alloy wheels and they also get headlight washers. Inside, you get the upgraded Bolero infotainment system with an eight-inch screen, cruise control, four extra speakers, climate control, rear-parking sensors, auto lights and wipers, and tinted rear windows. All the equipment fitted to S models is included so you also get DAB radio, automatic emergency braking and keyless entry.

SE Technology is the cheapest version of the Kodiaq to get built-in sat-nav. Otherwise it’s the same as an SE model, so you get an eight-inch Bolero infotainment system, cruise control, climate control, four extra speakers, automatic lights and wipers and tinted rear windows. DAB Radio, keyless entry and automatic emergency braking are also standard.

SE L models are the most luxurious, but make the Kodiaq quite pricy. They look smart thanks to their 19-inch alloy wheels and LED headlights and, inside, you get Alcantara upholstery that’s nice to sit on but not easy to clean. The front seats are also heated and you get foldable door mirrors, a powered tailgate and a fully integrated sat-nav system. That goes on top of the standard kit fitted to SE models that includes climate control, cruise control and rear parking sensors.

The SE Drive grade adds some useful extras to the regular SE spec. Most significantly, it comes with seven seats as standard. It also gets an upgraded, voice-controlled infotainment system featuring satnav, smartphone connectivity and online services, 19in wheels, front/rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera.

Edition models show how plush a Kodiaq can be, but are too expensive to recommend. Standard kit includes 19-inch alloy wheels and metallic paint, black leather upholstery and wireless phone charging. Safety is boosted by lane assist – which can steer the car in lane on the motorway – a blind spot warning system, and auto-dipping headlights. All the kit fitted to cheaper models is also included, such as things like climate control, cruise control and rear parking sensors.

The Scout trim makes the Kodiaq ready for adventures. There’s beefy body cladding – both front and rear – as well as a guard under the engine to fend off the worst of scrapes but you still get enough street cred thanks to the standard 19-inch alloy wheels. Inside, you get wood trim inserts and front parking sensors but the rest is the same as in an SE L Kodiaq model, meaning you get sat-nav, heated front seats, keyless entry and go, a powered tailgate and adaptive LED headlights.

The Sport Line trim adds some sporty details to the Kodiaq. On the outside, you get 20-inch alloy wheels, a more-aggressive front and rear bumpers and metallic paint. Inside, there are carbon fibre-ish trim inserts, alcantara-trimmed sport seats and a sporty metal finish to the pedals. The Sport Line is based on the SE L trim so you also get sat-nav, heated front seats, keyless entry and go, a powered tailgate and adaptive LED headlights.

SE L Executive cars share the same core features you’ll find on SE L cars, along with a few embellishments that are equipped as standard on the Executive grade. This consists of leather upholstery, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, a reversing camera and heated wing mirrors.

Unlike the standard Skoda Kodiaq, high-spec Laurin + Klement models come with seven seats, a panoramic glass roof and 19-inch alloy wheels. You also get a chrome grille, glossy black interior trim and leather seats with embossed L+K logos. There's an upgraded CANTON stereo system and a 9.2-inch touchscreen infotainment display with built-in satellite navigation alongside dual-zone climate control and a heated windscreen. Laurin + Klement models come with the same automatic emergency braking system as the standard Kodaiq, too.

As well as having the most powerful engine you can specify on a Skoda Kodiaq, the vRS brings to the party standard-fit all-wheel drive, 20-inch alloys, microsuede upholstery and adaptive suspension. vRS comes with a huge 10.25-inch digital instrument display, too.
