2018 Skoda Kodiaq review, road test
The Czech brand’s first middle-of-the-road SUV promises much, but does it deliver enough luxury SUV to justify the price? We put it under the microscope.

150hp version of Volkswagen’s 2.0 litre diesel is smooth and very refined.
Alloys look a bit small, but 235/55 R18 tyres are good for our roads.
'C'-shaped LEDs are a Skoda signature; note crystal like detailing.
