The Kodiaq has proven itself as a strong contender in the competitive SUV market, offering an impressive blend of space, practicality, and value and ever-improving quality.

A more accessible alternative to premium rivals, it delivers many of the same key premium features without the luxury price tag. Since its debut in 2016, the Kodiaq has proved a winner, and the second-generation offers a fresh design, updated technology, and is more sustainable.

Buyers can choose between petrol, diesel, or the first plug-in hybrid (PHEV) engine, with its extensive 70-mile EV range, along with the option of five or seven seats.
