Skoda Kodiaq Review, For Sale, Colours, Interior & News in Australia

Skoda Kodiaq Review, For Sale, Colours, Interior & News in Australia

FROM
$53,290

The Skoda Kodiaq continues the Skoda legacy of being the same… but different.

In this case the Czech brand has delivered a proper mid-size SUV, but with seven seats like a large SUV.

Named after the Alaskan bear that shares its name with its island namesake, the first-generation Kodiaq is based on the Volkswagen group MQB platform like most Skoda and Volkswagen products.

The range now extends from the Kodiaq Style (4X4) 132Tsi which arrives at $53,290 and extends up to the Kodiaq Rs (4X4) 180Tsi which will set you back $70,590.

Within its first year on sale the Kodiaq range had grown to include petrol and diesel versions with a Sportline trim level sitting above the base grade. All Kodiaqs feature all-wheel drive which Skoda labels as 4x4.

Skoda Kodiaq FAQs

Are there known radiator problems with the 2024 Skoda Kodiaq?

Modern cars like the Skoda have sealed cooling systems which means they shouldn’t need regular top-ups. As the engine heats up and the coolant expands, any excess coolant is captured by an overflow tank which stores the coolant and then allows it to be sucked back into the engine’s cooling system as the car cools down. This is all perfectly normal. All of which means that if you have coolant disappearing, then there’s a leak somewhere, but don’t necessarily jump to the conclusion that the radiator is at fault.

The problem could be one of many things, including a failed radiator hose or some other piece of critical plumbing, a faulty water pump, cracked cylinder head, blown head gasket, broken overflow tank, failed radiator cap, split cylinder bore, leaking heater matrix and more. The dealership should be able to tackle this as a warranty job and will probably pressurise the cooling system and see where, if anywhere, coolant starts to appear where it shouldn’t.
