...that is 145/85?R17

Another one with space saver...

[Invited to Kodiaq evening.]

Some magazines make me angry with their non-competent articles.

 

Last year Autobild wrote that Kodiaq had 9,2" navi. Oh, really?!?

[Invited to Kodiaq evening.]

Narrower than Yeti?

 

 

[Invited to Kodiaq evening.]

Another two shots: 7-seater vs 5-seater

 

5-seater w/o space saver has ability to have double floor. That one on the Picture below doesn't have.

 

There is also an option to have full size spare Wheel. I that case floor is almost similar to the one in 7-seater.

 

 

 

 

 

[Invited to Kodiaq evening.]

5-seater with space saver has a bigger depth than 7-seater (blue). And even w/o space saver it gets around 16 cm more in depth than 7-seater (white).

Hi AandOsDad,

the car seat on the right is a isofix seat. Slotted straight into the ports. Very firm fit. The only criticism I could find with the car is the high windows in the back. My kids would struggle to see out of the side! Otherwise a very nice car.

 

Cheers.

 

Same problem with kids and windows on my wife's Captur, too.

Could a third person sit in between?

[Kodiaq Event Dartford]

There is one in Slovenia. Our dealers will get its own demo cars in March. And I expect to get my delivery date (ordered on 12th Jan) by end of February.

[Kodiaq Event Dartford]

When I had a test drive, I drove the car with dark alcantara. It was rainy at 8am in the morning. It was quite dark inside and I really liked the whole interrior. But it may look worse with beige interrior. Large and crystal-clear navigation unit, brisk instrumental cluster/panel and nicely lighted buttons on steering wheel, air conditioning and elsewhere was everything that I saw at that time. Mostly I was focusing on the road and how it rides. Maybe at sunny noon It could look different. But at least this part of the car in front of the front passeneger is not covered with plain plastic as I saw in Superb. 

[Kodiaq Event Dartford]

Between Zebra part and glove box or Zebra part itself?

[Amundsen vs Columbus]

Scout and Sportsline are already mentioning 9.2" display. It may be offered from week 22 on.

 

2.5D is probably 2D viewed in birds view that looks like 3D.

[Amundsen vs Columbus]

Columbus will have 9.2" in the near future and it currently has:

- 3D maps (Amundsen has 2.5D)

- online maps update (Amundsen has SD card that is updated on computer)

- fully functional window in window

- internal 64 GB SSD drive

- 2 free SD card slots

- Google Maps and Street View

- option to include LTE module with SIM slot and RSAP

[Height change because of DCC?]

I do 

[Height change because of DCC?]

I am talking ahout change made in the factory and not the change made by DCC itself.

[Height change because of DCC?]

I know that if I press button and switch from comfort to sport mode, the height is the same.

 

But people are asking if having DCC lowers ground clearance from 187mm to 177mm like it happens in Superb? And I don't know the answer.

[Height change because of DCC?]

It is not about the change. The ground clearance is always the same. But in the case of Superb, Tiguan and Passat, the ground clearance is different if DCC is included.

[Height change because of DCC?]

Hi!

 

On German forum I've heard that on Superb if you have DCC, the car is 10 mm lower.

 

Does that happen also on Kodiaq? I tought the DCC doesn't have any impact on height.

 

Cheers, Roman

[Kodiaq LED Headlights & AFS]

The problem lies in the pricing of LED lights.

[Carwow's surprising 0-62 test result]

This week I drove Kodiaq and it had wireless heated windscreen. No metal wires! And 60% of the sun heat is reflected back keeping inner temperature 15% lower.

[Carwow's surprising 0-62 test result]

So all engines with DSG are using wet clutch?

[Just seen one in the flesh]

I am glad I've ordered it.

 

Because of the kids I've given up on beige interrior but that test car has dark alcantara and I've just fell in love with it. Black makes interrior more classic and it is harder to see any hard plastic in below area. 

 

Even with 19" wheels, the DCC works great and in comfort mode road bumps were absorbed well. That was my only concern regarding Kodiaq (German cars are known not to be comfort) because today I've driven Skoda for the first time. When I switched back to Grand Scenic, my car felt somehow too soft. Still I don't like stiff suspension.

 

Canton plays very loud at 25% of volume.

 

Navigation was working well. I've tested area view. Compared to Grand Scenic diesel, TDi has larger turbo hole below 1750 rpm but above that it flies. Thanks to DSG you don't need to bother with it. 

 

Now I know now why it is a winner in so many reviews.
