Skoda Kodiaq
SUVs are popular for a reason. They offer an impressive mixture of versatility, all-weather ability and luxury. And the Skoda Kodiaq is at the very top of its game as a company car choice, too.
That’s because it’s available with a class-leading plug-in hybrid powertrain, which combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine and electric motor for a combined total of 204PS, while the 25.7kWh battery can be charged from 10-80% in as little as 26 minutes. A full charge using an 11kW wallbox at home will take approximately 2.5 hours, so your Kodiaq will be ready to go in zero-emissions mode whenever you need it.
A WLTP CO2 output as low as 35g/km on SE models (37g/km on SE L and 38g/km on SportLine) and a battery range of up to 76 miles puts the Kodiaq at the very summit of company car PHEV running, and means it qualifies for BiK of just 6% currently.
So the Kodiaq definitely does the business. And it also does the pleasure, because it’s a superb car to live with every day.
As Autocar’s testers say: “Inside, the Kodiaq is a very nice place to be,” adding: “It feels and looks refined, the panoramic roof adding a light and airy atmosphere to the cabin.”
That light and airy feeling is enhanced by the sheer space on offer for the five occupants, and the 745-litre boot means there’s no need to leave anything behind.Technology is another Kodiaq specialty, because it features Skoda’s ‘Smart Dials’, which can be configured to operate the systems you need at any given moment. It’s stuff like this, and the sheer number of storage areas, that make the Skoda Kodiaq easy to live with.
