Car Test Škoda Kodiaq Sportline 2.0 TDI 200PS 4x4 DSG
ŠKODA leads proceedings in this issue of Car Test, as we feature two super SUVs, an exceptional estate and the fabulous Fabia.
Up first: the Kodiaq Sportline. Throughout the week, the Kodiaq impressed us with its versatility and practicality. An adaptable seven seater, it’s perfect for families - safe, spacious with seven airbags fitted to ensure each passenger is protected.
We drove down several muddy lanes and the Kodiaq took them in its stride - it’s a 4x4 through and through. Even when fully loaded with people and luggage the 2.0 litre TSI engine was nicely responsive. It’s gutsy but not overly so and we averaged around 40 mpg, which is great going by anyone’s standards.
Rear parking sensors, cruise control as well as a plethora of automatic lights and wipers make for a very pleasant driving experience and the roof rails allow you to transport bikes and other equipment - again, great for families. The Sportline range includes several nice touches as standard, our favourite being the light and rain sensor. It’s an added layer of protection that covers you if ever you forget to turn your lights or wipers on.
In conclusion, if you’re looking to enter into the 4x4 world then the Kodiaq is a great starting point. At just over £40,000, ŠKODA prove that a high-quality, family-oriented offroader doesn’t have to cost the earth, making it another standout offering from the Czech car manufacturer.
Škoda Kamiq SE 1.0 TSI 110PS 6G Man
The next ŠKODA to be featured in this edition of Car Test is the Kamiq, their smallest SUV but arguably one of their best.
It’s well-suited for the hustle and bustle of the city - small, nifty but still chunky enough to make you feel secure. It’s also very smooth to drive, as we found out when taking it around local suburban roads, whilst the 1.0 TSI engine gave off little noise even at motorway speeds. In terms of the ride, it doesn’t get much better. The Czech manufacturers have found the sweet spot between sturdy suspension and everyday comfort, with the Kamiq handling potholes with ease. It is small but there’s a surprising amount of space for both passengers and loads alike. Legroom and headroom were plentiful, the driving position was
86
impressively high up and we managed to fit three in the back with luggage comfortably, without the need for squishing or bags on laps (we’ve all been there before!).
The SE trim includes a selection of upgraded features too, each of which add a touch of luxury to the general driving experience. We found the 9.2 inch infotainment system very easy to use, great for keeping young ones entertained.
To conclude, few small SUV’s offer better value than the Kamiq. If you’re after an entry-level SUV that will make city living easy, then the Kamiq should certainly be on your radar starting from a little over £17,000.
