Skoda Kodiaq SUV (2017 - 2023) SE L (7-seat) 1.5 TSI ACT 150PS DSG auto 5d Owner Review

1.5 Petrol engine is capable even when carrying 7. Good load carrying capacity although doesn’t feel too large a vehicle when handling and offers a smooth balanced ride. DSG transmission is very capable and gives easy driving. Interior not cutting edge but pleasant clean lines and solid build. Leather was an inexpensive option and well worth the money. Seats 6 & 7 are tight and bit difficult to access. They do not offer adults much legroom but ok for short journeys or carrying the children. Remote opening of hatch door can be bit hit and miss. Sometimes works when metres away and at other times seem to have to be within inches of the door. The inconsistency is annoying. Petrol consumption is reasonable but not as good as hoped. Averages 30mpg on a good mixed urban/motorway trips selection. Technology is generally good but voice activation of SatNav is horrendously difficult. Was a waste of £90. When considering came at a sub £30k purchase price would give 4 out of 5 assessment overall.
