The Skoda Kodiaq is the Czech brand's first crack at a mid-size SUV. Entry-level models start from £21,495, but the higher spec versions are priced to compete squarely against the likes of the VW Tiguan and - thanks to an optional extra pair of chairs positioned in the boot - the seven-seat Land Rover Discovery Sport. So is the big Skoda a grizzly failure or a roaring success? Find out in our in-depth review!

Seriously... These noise and vibration test make zero sense unless you test with the same tires, same tire pressure and for gods sake comparable suspension. Even temperature is quite important. Not even talking about how inaccurate these apps are with incredibly cheap smartphone microphones.

I agree what you say about the smartphone but disagree about tires, suspension etc. He should test the cars as the manufacturers choose to sell them. It's like complaining about the weakness of one car's windows over another. One company might choose to sell their cars with very thin windows for weight/cost benefits, so you can't expect thinner windows to have as good sound insulation or strength in case of an accident.

+1 . Really, those smarphone apps and smartphones themselves should not be taken into serious account.Yes, it is indicative that the Skoda is louder than an Audi (or put any two other brands), but the absolute values are probably not correct for neither. Also, the surface the phone is put on, the direction and position of the mike plays a role.

The people here..."It's still a Skoda". Well, an older gentleman would call a Aventador, still a Lamborghini. Why? Because they made tractors back in the day. People with that argument are living in the past, and have no idea about basic car knowledge.

@peglor 7 жыл бұрын

I'm wondering how you can say this is Skoda's first attempt to break into the premium market when the Superb is in it's 3rd generation (Under VAG, there are much older Superb models around too). The Superb is longer than the Kodiaq and has a similar boot size too. I really want to see how this does as a 7 seater and an off-roader, since these are the only features this car can claim that existing Skoda models don't already have.

Practicality has always been an essential ingredient of Skoda I think they just dropped the ball by not having ISOFIX on ALL passenger seat, I think it will have massive competition from Peugeot 3008 & 5008 for the looks of the cabin.

The polarizing filter on the camera lens makes it look green. It is some kind of a UV filter laminate on the windshield glass that makes it do that. Many new Volkswagen Group vehicles have one. Also some times if you have seen some weird white dots appear on cars' windshield and rear glass in car videos, it is because they have some kind of laminate that appears only through polarizing filter. Same thing happens with polarizing sun glasses.

All in all great review, but the "special" app to measure the noise is more of a gimmick - It is too fast, and it depends on the phone, the road quality, the placement of the phone, so it doesn't seem like a fair test. Reliability running costs and user friendliness are things people normally look for. Also what can you do yourself to the car - like changing a light bulb battery and so on
