Škoda Kodiaq 2019: all dimensions and dimensions with explanations

When choosing a family crossover, many drivers pay attention to the car dimensions Not only the comfort of travel depends on them, but also maneuverability in the city, the possibility of parking in cramped yards and even the cost of insurance. Škoda Kodiaq 2019 is one of the most popular 7-seater SUVs in the Russian market, but its size often raises questions. How much more competition is he? Will it fit in a standard garage? How many things can I take in the trunk with the seats folded?

In this article we will look at full-length Kodiaq 2019 - from the length of the body to the width of the luggage compartment, compare them with similar parameters Toyota Highlander, Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace and Hyundai Santa FeWe also offer practical advice on operation. We'll pay special attention. The unique features of the Czech crossover, which are rarely mentioned in reviews For example, how the real height of the car affects the landing in the cabin for people taller than 190 cm.

Official External Dimensions of the ŠKODA Kodiaq 2019

The manufacturer declares the following sizes for Kodiaq 2019 model year (all modifications, including the Style, Sportline and basic equipment:

• 📏 Body length4,697 mm is 100 mm shorter than the Toyota Highlanderbut 200 mm longer Volkswagen Tiguan.
• 📐 Width excluding mirrors: 1,882 mm (with mirrors, 2,087 mm). An important nuance: with such a width, the car barely fits into standard parking "pockets" (usually 2.3-2.5 m).
• 📊 Height: 1,676 mm (in the basic version). U Sportline The clearance is 10 mm lower and the height is reduced to 1,666 mm.
• 🚗 Wheelbase: 2,791 mm – this parameter directly affects the legroom of passengers in the second and third rows.
• 🛣️ Ground clearance (ground clearance): 194 mm for the 4×4 version and 184 mm for front-wheel drive versions.

Interesting fact: despite the size of the Kodiaq has one of the most compact turning radii 11.1 m in the classroom. This is achieved due to the precise tuning of the steering and short overhangs of the body. For comparison, Hyundai Santa Fe turning radius is 11.4 m.

Comparison with competitors: who is bigger?

To understand how much Škoda Kodiaq 2019 is great against the background of classmates, we have compiled a table with the key dimensions of popular 7-seater crossovers. Pay attention to the difference in clearance and width – these parameters often become “pitfalls” during operation.

Model	Length, mm	Width, mm	Height, mm	Ground clearance, mm	Trunk volume, l
Škoda Kodiaq 2019	4 697	1 882	1 676	194 (4×4)	270–2 065
Toyota Highlander 2019	4 895	1 925	1 730	203	292–2 321
Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace	4 701	1 839	1 677	190	230–1 775
Hyundai Santa Fe 2019	4 770	1 890	1 685	185	571–1 615
Kia Sorento 2019	4 780	1 890	1 685	182	605–1 820

As can be seen from the table, Kodiaq inferior Highlander in length and height, but exceeds in width Tiguan Allspace. The Czech crossover has a greatest range of trunk transformation - from a modest 270 liters in a 7-seat configuration to a record 2 065 liters with all rows of seats folded.

⚠️ AttentionIf you plan to use the third row often, keep in mind that with a passenger growth above 175 cm, the legroom there will be extremely limited - only ~ 50 cm. This is a common problem for all compact 7-seater SUVs.

Log dimensions: from 270 to 2 065 liters

One of the key advantages Škoda Kodiaq Flexible system of transformation of the cabin. The volume of the trunk varies depending on the configuration of the seats:

• 🪑 7 seats (all rows raised)270 liters – enough for 2-3 bags from the supermarket or one suitcase of medium size.
• 🧳 5 seats (third row folded down)630 liters – enough for a family holiday for the weekend (4 suitcases + backpacks).
• 🚚 2 seats (second and third rows folded)2,065 l – allows you to transport bulky goods, such as bicycles or furniture.

The important thing is that, unlike many competitors, the Kodiaq double-floor. When the second level is raised, a hidden compartment is formed with a depth of ~15 cm – ideal for storing tools or dirty shoes. However, this “secret” compartment reduces the usable volume by 50-70 liters.

Make sure the second row folds in the proportion of 40:20:40 (not all trim levels support this)

Check for a two-level gender (option)

Evaluate the convenience of access to the third row (in some versions, the doorway is narrower than that of competitors)

Try folding the seats with one hand (the mechanism should work smoothly)

Compare it to Toyota Highlander: with a similar 7-seater configuration, the Japanese offers 292 l vs. 270 l y KodiaqBut when the seats are folded, the Czech wins - 2,065 l vs. 2,321 l Highlander. However, Toyota The trunk has a more regular rectangular shape, which simplifies the placement of goods.

Interior dimensions of the cabin: space for passengers

Despite its external compactness, Kodiaq It's amazing with the spaciousness of the cabin. Here are the key parameters:

• 👫 First row:
  • Leg space: up to 1,050 mm (adjusted by the longitudinal seat displacement).
  • The height of the ceiling above the driver's head: ~ 1000 mm (comfortable for growth up to 195 cm).
• 👨‍👩‍👧 Second row:
  • Leg space: 910–980 mm (depending on the position of the front seats).
  • Shoulder-level width: 1,450 mm – three passengers will be accommodated without cramping.
• 👶 Third row:
  • Leg space: 500-550 mm (suitable only for children or passengers up to 170 cm tall).
  • Ceiling height: 920 mm – an adult will rest his head against the ceiling.

Feature KodiaqThe rear door opens 85°, making it easier to land on the third row. However, doorway width It is only 680 mm, so passengers with broad shoulders will have to maneuver. For comparison, Hyundai Santa Fe The opening is 50 mm wider.

How to measure third-row convenience before buying?

Ask the seller to adjust the front seats to your height, then sit on the third row with your back straightened. If the knees rest on the back of the second row, and the head touches the ceiling, this car is not suitable for regular trips with 7 passengers. Pay attention to the width of the arms: Kodiaq They're narrower than they are. Kia SorentoThis can be uncomfortable for large people.

One more nuance - climate system. In basic configurations Kodiaq In 2019, third-row deflectors are located on the racks, not in the ceiling. This reduces the efficiency of heating/cooling for rear passengers, especially in cold weather.

Ground clearance and geometric cross-country ability: what you need to know

Official clearance Škoda Kodiaq 2019 is:

• 🚙 4x4 versions: 194 mm (reduced to ~175 mm with full load).
• 🚗 Front-wheel drive modifications: 184 mm (under a load of ~160 mm).

In practice, this means that the crossover is able to overcome:

• 🌊 Fords up to 40 cm deep (at a speed of not more than 7 km / h).
• 🏔️ Up to 22° (at full weight).
• 🛣️ Ground roads with a track up to 15 cm.

However, there are important limitations:

⚠️ Attention: Entry and exit angles at Kodiaq They are only 16° and 17° respectively. This means that when overcoming steep slopes or ascents (for example, in the forest or in a parking lot with high curbs), there is a high risk of hitting the bumper. For comparison, Toyota RAV4 These angles are 19° and 21°.

If you are planning to operate a car on the road, pay attention to the crankcase protection. In basic configurations, it is plastic and is not designed for serious loads. Optional metal protection (article) 5Q0 825 371) increases clearance by 5 mm and weighs 8 kg.

How dimensions affect operation: practical advice

Dimensions Škoda Kodiaq 2019 has some limitations and benefits. Let's look at the key points:

• 🅿️ Parking:
  • Due to the width of 1,882 mm, the car barely fits into standard parking spaces (usually 2.3-2.5 m). Use a rear-view camera and parking sensors – without them, parking in cramped yards will be a challenge.
  • The length of 4,697 mm requires careful entry into garages with automatic doors (the minimum depth of the garage is 5.5 m).
• 🛣️ Traffic in the city:
  • The turning radius of 11.1 m allows you to turn in three receptions on most streets, but at narrow intersections, additional maneuver may be required.
  • The height of 1,676 mm makes Kodiaq vulnerable to low canopies (for example, at some gas stations or in underground parking lots). Always pay attention to signs with a height limit!
• 🚗 Road trips:
  • A large frontal area (2.4 m2) increases fuel consumption at high speeds. At 120 km/h Kodiaq 2.0 TSI consumes ~8.5 l/100 km (vs. 7.2 l in the city).
  • Wide mirrors (total width with mirrors – 2 087 mm) create additional aerodynamic drag, but improve the view.

If you often drive on the country roads, pay attention to the air-momentum (Cx- Kodiaq It's 0.33. It's worse than that. Volkswagen Tiguan (0.30), but better than the Toyota Highlander (0.34). The difference of 0.01 may seem small, but at 130+ km/h it affects the stability and noise in the cabin.

Frequent questions about the dimensions of the ŠKODA Kodiaq 2019

Will the Kodiaq fit in a standard 6x3.5m garage?

Yes, but with reservations:

• The length of 4,697 mm leaves ~30 cm of stock in front and behind (at a garage depth of 5.5 m).
• The width of 1,882 mm allows you to open doors 60-70 ° without the risk of hitting the walls (the minimum width of the garage is 2.3 m).
• The height of 1,676 mm is suitable for most garages, but check the height of the gates – it should be at least 2.0 m.

Tip: If the garage is narrow, fold the mirrors automatically (optional) Auto-Fold available in configurations Style and Sportline).

What is the maximum height of the passenger for the third row?

Practical tests show:

• Up to 170 cm: comfortable at a distance of up to 100 km.
• 170-180 cm: Possibly, but the knees rest on the back of the second row.
• Above 180 cm: A trip longer than 30 minutes becomes tedious due to a lack of legroom and low ceiling.

For comparison: in Toyota Highlander A passenger who is 185 cm tall can ride in the third row without serious discomfort.

Can I carry a 1.7 m high refrigerator in the trunk of a Kodiaq?

Yes, but only with the second and third row seats folded:

• The maximum height of the load with an open hatch is 1,200 mm (limited by the line of taillights).
• If the refrigerator lies horizontally, check the width of the trunk - it narrows to the arches of the wheels (the minimum width between the arches is 1,050 mm).
• The weight of the cargo should not exceed 75 kg / m2 (maximum load on the floor of the trunk).

Warning: when transporting high loads, close the rear windows with curtains - they are not designed for pressure from the inside.

What is the Kodiaq's ground clearance when fully loaded?

At full weight (2,200-2,400 kg depending on the configuration), the clearance decreases:

• 4×4 versions: from 194 mm to ~170–175 mm.
• Front-wheel drive modifications: from 184 mm to ~155-160 mm.

This means that when fully loaded, it is best to avoid:

• Deep-gauge ground roads.
• Parking with high curbs (above 15 cm).
• Snow snow snowdrifts with a depth of more than 20 cm.

What tires are recommended for the Kodiaq 2019, taking into account the dimensions?

The manufacturer recommends the following dimensions:

• Basic: 215/65 R17 (diameter 69.3 cm).
• Optional: 235/55 R19 (diameter 72.2 cm).

When choosing tires, consider:

• Tires with a diameter of more than 72 cm can touch the underwings when fully loaded.
• Narrow tires (e.g. 215 mm) improve snow passability but impair asphalt stability.
• For off-road operation, only tires with a load index of not less than 102 are suitable (maximum weight per wheel is 850 kg).
