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.

The 2026 Skoda Kodiaq carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1800 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Skoda Kodiaq 2026 prices range from $49,990 for the basic trim level SUV Select Hybrid 5 Seat (Mhev) to $70,590 for the top of the range SUV Rs (4X4).
Inside, the Kodiaq uses leather-appointed or Suedia trim depending on grade, with black or cognac finishes available. A 10-inch digital cockpit and 13-inch infotainment screen are standard. Tri-zone climate control, ambient lighting and storage touches like an umbrella in the driver’s door are included.
Eight paint choices are available: Bronx Gold, Black Magic, Graphite Grey, Moon White, Race Blue, Brilliant Silver, Steel Grey and Velvet Red Premium Metallic.
With all seven seats in place, boot space is 289 litres. Folding the third row lifts this to 794 litres, depending on seat position. With all rear seats folded flat, the Kodiaq carries up to 2035 litres.
The 2026 Skoda Kodiaq offers a flexible seven-seat layout. The second row folds 60/40 and slides for more boot space or legroom. The third row folds flat into the floor when not needed. Higher trims add sports comfort front seats with bolsters and power adjustment.
Standard features include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, LED headlights, a rear camera and full keyless entry. SportLine models add sports seats, black styling and a heated steering wheel. The Launch Edition upgrades to ventilated and massage front seats, a head-up display, Canton audio and panoramic sunroof.
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.
