What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the second-generation Kodiaq is a superb all-rounder: roomy, practical, comfortable and well priced, with a more upmarket cabin and easy-to-use controls. Common criticisms are a hesitant DSG gearbox when pulling away and engines that sound coarse when worked hard; Autocar also found some cheap, flimsy materials, including the physical control dials.
