skoda kodiaq review 2023

The 2023 Skoda Kodiaq is the sensible seven-seater that pretends it’s a boutique Euro, then undercuts the lot at the checkout. You get a smart, roomy cabin, heaps of clever touches (umbrella in the door, anyone?), and secure AWD manners that make school runs feel less like herding cats.

Most models run a 2.0‑litre turbo petrol (about 132 kW) with a 7‑speed DSG and AWD; the RS steps up to a 2.0‑litre turbo with around 180 kW, adaptive suspension, and bigger brakes. Ride comfort is polished, steering is tidy, and noise levels are low; the third row suits kids, while the boot is big once those rear pews fold flat. New pricing typically lands around AUD $55k–$77k before on-roads depending on spec, while used examples range roughly AUD $30k–$70k based on age and kilometres. If you want a family SUV with Euro manners and fewer badge-tax tears, it’s a sharp pick; for stock near you, Tradingpost is a good starting grid.
