SKODA KODIAQ SE 1.5 TSI
When 4x4 manufacturers send us vehicles to test drive, nine times out of times they’re either top-spec models, stacked up with options, or both. This is nice for us, in a larging-it-in-someone-else’s motor sense, but it makes it very hard to review what their vehicles are like for people buying at the other end of the range.
So, respect to Skoda. When we asked if we could get our hands on a new Kodiaq, they offered us the very cheapest model in the range.
The SE 1.5 TSI e-TEC 150PS DSG, to give it the name on its birth certificate, is powered by a petrol engine mated to a 7-speed auto box (there’s no such thing as a manual Kodiaq any more). It costs £36,645 OTR, and it comes with equipment including cruise, tri-zone climate, a 10.25” digital dash and 13” media screen, DAB, smartphone mirroring, sat-nav, reversing camera, LEDs, heated front seats, 18” alloys, wireless charging and all the safety kit that matters.
