Have today got a provisional build week 14 for my 8th Oct VRS order; almost feels like Christmas! Out of interest, have any of you received a confirmed build week that preceded the provisional week? I only remember seeing dates being put back but fingers crossed 😬

Yes I did. Ordered end of November my VRS and was told mid to end of Feb for build. Actually build week 6 and now on route to Emden

And it doesn’t even have all-round disc brakes to go with the all-wheel drive.

Because regenerative braking.

Good point, well made 🤦‍♂️.

 

It’s still foobar expensive though…

For all those waiting… it could be worse! Your new car is finally built, on the boat, and then…

Glad there's no mention of Skodas, or my order would be pushed even further back!

I'm quite sure the new passat is a skoda superb.

No, it's a VW Passat. It may share the platform and other things with the Skoda Superb, but it's not a Skoda.

Iv seen pictures maybe fake of the new USA passat and its looks a lot like the superb. But that was a while back could have been a fan picture. Any how any one waiting on there new kodiaq. Iv had it 5 days now and love it best car iv had yet. Keep the faith. 

2016 r line passat fully loaded. 

2018 superb sportline loaded. 

2019  mercedes e220 few extras 

And now happy owner of UK spec sportline kodiaq. 

Matrix lights for me are a winner.

Agreed.  Best lights I've ever had on a car.  Might not technically be the best available in the market however if I'd had to pay extra for them as an option I'd have been happy (within £££ reason).

Yep. I'd never even considered them before they turned up on the car.  The ability to essentially leave full beam on all the time is really handy.

After a veeeery frustrating 8 month wait, our new Kodiaq (and 1st ever Škoda) is finally here! We got a Style TSI 190 4x4, and it is quite well equipped, with some options that I particularly enjoy every day: 

Matrix LEDs - awesome

Canton - sounds alright, and feels good that I managed to spec it before they removed the option from the configurator

Auxiliary heater - hard to live without in cold winter mornings

And most importantly the Ergo Comfort seats - the added underthigh support is great for taller people and the seats feel overall better than in any other Kodiaq I've test driven. 

All in all a great car so far!

So an update today, no change. Factory accepted order, still showing as Build Week 1 😪

I now have a build date of Week 12 🤞. Really hope this is “the one”!!

Anyone who did get there car find the radio and cockpit playing up. Changing settings view etc. It's starting to pizz me off. One week 500 miles in 

Favourite thing about the car.

For me coming from a 2019 e 220 there the best thing about the car. Top class. Few other bits not so happy about

Such as...?

I ordered a new Kodiaq Sportline this very week to replace my Karoq edition as now with two kids we need more luggage space. And also the Kodiaq worked out cheaper.

 

Whats the wait times people have experienced? I’m thinking the awful news could easily impact my car anyway so I’m expecting a LONG wait but was told roughly 5 or 6 months but expecting it to be longer given Russia and Ukraine horrific situation.

Seems to vary wildly, some wait less than 3 months whereas some unlucky sods (like me) have already been waiting over 10 with no news.

I check factory build dates every week and every week it goes back a week. So at the current rate of movement the car will never come. 👏👏👏. F’ing good work Skoda
