ŠKODA Kodiaq Sportline 2022 Review

Rob Fraser

Kodiaq Sportline – ŠKODA Kodiaq is one of those underrated SUVs. This is a shame as it’s a particularly good vehicle.

This is in addition to adaptive chassis control, Matrix LED headlights, passenger protection (active seatbelts), heated steering wheel, massage front seats, tablet holder and sleep package – with three- zone climate control and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto further over the Hyundai and Kia; and Virtual Cockpit and front ventilated seats beyond the Mazda.

Kodiaq Sportline is powered by a 132kW/320Nm 2.0-litre turbocharged four- cylinder petrol engine, that has AWD and a 7 step DSG transmission. Kodiaq has smooth ride and relatively dynamic handling.

The third row seats are tight but are covered by side airbags, which is a bonus.

The Kodiaq is a clever competitor to the Kia Sorento, Hyundai Santa Fe, Mazda CX-8 and more similar sized SUVs and should absolutely be taken for a drive if that’s what you are after
