Cheaper - probably not - almost the same - certainly if you wanted a high spec Kodiaq list price Skoda = discounted land rover. I was really interested in the Kodiak, but my experience at dealer was: PRICE: Don't ask for discount, our allocation is throttled right back and we know we can sell what we have been allocated Finance: Don't have details yet Spec: Not sure of that, or that... BIG EVENT: Sorry that doesn't apply to the Kodiaq sir... 0% Finance: Sorry that doesn't apply to the Kodiak sir... The discovery sport is more expensive, no doubt. But if you want 7 seats so your at SE L in the Kodiak, then you add the electric manual tow bar for £900 or whatever it was and the wife wants the pano sunroof... then your well into discovery sport SE Tech and not far from HSE - with shopping around your looking at 8-9% off list as well. I think in next Jan's "big event" from Skoda when there is a lot of allocation, all the deals apply - its going to be a great buy - but at list price it does not stack up so well - my two cents anyway.

Looks identical to superb one RickTT posted on the superb, which looks fine and tucks away neatly. I think "Electric Towbar" is not a very accurate description though, and £850 option expensive for a manual swing away - but at least you can still have a space saver spare and 7 seats at the same time. This is what I think of as an electric tow bar: https://youtu.be/KTbJjZvq5jE

Are you certain it's fully electric? As potential future owning I was flicking through the manual (as there appears to be no brochure yet in English) and from instruction: "Press the tow bar in direction of arrow until it audibly clicks into place." It was not clear if it pops out and has to be pushed in position, or motors out and requires a shove to work? Either way lot less faff than a detachable and cheaper than the same option on the Discovery Sport!
