The SKODA KODIAQ (2016-21) 5DR SUV 1.4 TSI ACT 150 SS EU6 SE 7 SEAT DSG AUTO6 is a practical SUV, offering seven seats in a market where flexible, higher-riding cars are popular. Its petrol engine and automatic gearbox make driving straightforward, while the SE version focuses on useful comfort. With a cabin, the Kodiaq suits families needing school-run space, holiday luggage and occasional extra passenger seats; it can also work well for active households and longer commutes. It is larger and more versatile than a typical five-seat SUV, yet remains easier to live with than a van-like people carrier. Against rivals such as the Nissan X-Trail and Peugeot 5008, its seven-seat flexibility and calm, comfortable character stand out. mycarcheck.com recorded 94 checks across 41 VINs: average private-sale value was £16,900, mileage 35,000, annual use 12,000 miles, and previous keepers averaged just over one.
