Picked the car up and drove the 70 miles home, mostly all motorway. The engine will definitely take some getting used to compared to the diesel we had. It doesn’t accelerate as quickly as what I’m used to, but will give it 500 miles to break the engine in before trying sport mode. I love the virtual cockpit but need to have a play around with it and the other settings. Looks like connecting to our Android phones isn’t working as expected so will look at that too. It connects to the phone but doesn’t mirror on the screen. The sat nav is a step down from BMWs idrive but I’m sure it’ll do the job. The cruise control being on the stalk is a pain, I’m used to it being on the steering wheel. It also seems Skoda make the 12v socket permanently live, which is annoying as it means remembering to unplug the dash cam all the time.
Normally fitted with Pirelli Scorpios with seal inside. If you go on Briskoda you’ll find tons of info on the Kodiaq on there. It’s a great place for all things Skoda. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/
Thanks will have a look on there, I’m sure I’ll get the answers to any questions I have. The tyres that were fitted are the Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 SUV. Reviews seem good so hopefully we won’t have an issue with them but they’re not Michelin or Bridgestone! I’m pretty fussy about tyres but accept I don’t have much say in what’s fitted with a mobility car. Do kwikfit offer a choice for Skoda cars? On the BMW we had to use what came with the car but being Bridgestone I was fine with that.
Hi Rich, just to check is it the 1.5 petrol Kodiaq you’ve got?
I’m still waiting for mine (dreadful service from the Skoda dealer) I also have a BMW a 220D x-drive so not looking forward to the costs and power loss of the Kodiaq.
Can you keep us updated on your experience with the Kodiaq please.
Thanks.
