Skoda Kodiaq 2026

FROM $49,990

The 2026 Skoda Kodiaq range of configurations is currently priced from $49,990.

Our most recent review of the 2026 Skoda Kodiaq resulted in a score of 7.6 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributing Journalist Stephen Ottley had this to say at the time: Plug-in hybrids may be the hottest technology on the market right now and the Kodiaq PHEV couldn’t have arrived at a better time, but it still won’t be easy for Skoda to cash-in on the popularity spike. There are so many good PHEVs arriving at the moment, as is the way with any in-demand technology, that Skoda will need to push its positives with buyers to ensure it doesn’t continue to be over-looked and under-rated.

Skoda Kodiaq 2026 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.
