Dimensions of Škoda Kodiaq 2026: body, trunk and interior dimensions with explanations

When choosing a family crossover, the size of the car becomes one of the key criteria. Škoda Kodiaq is the flagship of the Czech brand, which combines a spacious interior, a practical trunk and confident handling. But how exactly are its dimensions distributed? Is it suitable for a narrow garage or tight parking lot? And most importantly, is there enough space for passengers and luggage on a trip for 7 people?

In this article we will look at all sizes in detail. Kodiaq by generation (including facelift in 2026), compare it with its main competitors and give practical advice on operation. You will learn not only the official figures from the technical specifications, but also real nuances, which affect comfort - from the width of the doors to the depth of the trunk with the seats folded.

Official dimensions Škoda Kodiaq 2026: length, width, height and ground clearance

Modern Kodiaq (second generation, type NS7) retained the basic proportions of its predecessor, but became slightly larger due to the updated platform MQB Evo. Here are the current sizes for 2026 models:

• 📏 Body length: 4,758 mm (+61 mm compared to the first generation). This is 10–15 cm shorter than full-size SUVs like Volkswagen Touareg or Hyundai Santa Fe.
• 📐 Width without mirrors: 1,864 mm (with mirrors - 2,106 mm). Important for parking: Kodiaq wider Toyota RAV4 by 5 cm, but narrower Kia Sorento by 3 cm.
• 📊 Height: 1,676 mm (as standard). With roof rails, the height increases to 1,700 mm.
• 🚙 Ground clearance (ground clearance): 194 mm. Sufficient for light off-road use, but less than Subaru Outback (213 mm).

These options make Kodiaq one of the most compact 7-seater crossovers in its class. For example, Peugeot 5008 8 cm longer, and Land Rover Discovery Sport - by as much as 20 cm. However, do not rush to rejoice: a compact body does not always mean spaciousness in the cabin.

Size comparison Kodiaq with competitors: who has more space?

To understand how much Škoda Kodiaq wins or loses to its peers, let's compare it with the main rivals in the segment. Please note: we take models with a similar layout (5+2 seats) and a similar price.

Model	Length, mm	Width, mm	Height, mm	Ground clearance, mm	Trunk (min/max), l
Škoda Kodiaq (2026)	4 758	1 864	1 676	194	270 / 2 065
Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace	4 702	1 839	1 677	201	231 / 1 775
Kia Sorento (2023)	4 810	1 890	1 700	182	187 / 2 011
Peugeot 5008	4 641	1 844	1 646	178	190 / 1 940
Hyundai Santa Fe (2026)	4 830	1 900	1 705	185	210 / 2 050

As can be seen from the table, Kodiaq occupies an intermediate position: it is longer Peugeot 5008, but shorter Hyundai Santa Fe. At the same time, its trunk in the minimum configuration (270 l) is one of the most voluminous in the class - this is a merit flat floor and a high roof. But in terms of ground clearance, the Czech crossover is second only to Tiguan Allspace.

⚠️ Attention: If real cross-country ability is important to you, pay attention to the approach/departure angles. U Kodiaq they are 18°/22° - this is worse than Subaru Forester (20°/25°), but better than Nissan X-Trail (16°/21°).

Trunk dimensions Škoda Kodiaq: from 270 to 2,065 liters

Luggage space is one of the main advantages Kodiaq. Depending on the seat configuration, its volume varies from a modest 270 liters to a record 2,065 liters. Let's look at it in detail:

• 🧳 5-seater mode (all seats up): 270 l in the version with a spare wheel, 295 l - with the system Tire Mobility Kit. For comparison: Toyota Highlander in this mode only 231 hp.
• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 7-seat mode (third row raised): 270 l (same as 5-seater version). However trunk depth is reduced up to 70 cm - this is critical for large suitcases.
• 🚗 The third row is folded: 630 l. Enough for a family holiday, but less than Kia Sorento (660 l).
• 📦 All seats folded: 2,065 l. Here Kodiaq is in the lead - even Volkswagen Atlas offers only 1,987 hp.

Important nuance: in the trunk Kodiaq no "secret" compartment under the floor (as opposed to Hyundai Santa Fe), but there is double bottom with adjustable height. This allows you to hide valuables or create a flat surface when transporting large cargo.

Interior space: how dimensions are distributed for passengers

Body dimensions are one thing, but how do they translate into passenger comfort? B Kodiaq the salon is designed taking into account modular system VarioFlex, which allows you to transform space for different tasks.

Let's look at the key parameters:

• 👤 First row: legroom - 1,045 mm, ceiling height - 1,020 mm. The driver's seat is adjustable in height and length (in top versions - with memory settings).
• 👥 Second row: legroom - up to 1,030 mm (with seats moved forward). The cabin width at shoulder level is 1,470 mm, which allows three adults to comfortably accommodate.
• 👶 Third row: it’s already tighter here: legroom is 700 mm, and the ceiling height is 950 mm. Passengers taller than 175 cm will find it uncomfortable over long distances.

Feature Kodiaq — asymmetrical seat folding. For example, in the 7-seater version, only the middle seat of the second row can be folded, leaving two side seats for passengers. This is convenient for transporting long items (such as a baby stroller) without losing seats.

How to fold the seats in a Kodiaq?

1. Press the lever under the second row armrest and move the seat forward.

2. Pull the loop on the backrest to fold it down (on versions with VarioFlex the backrest is fixed in 3 positions).

3. For the third row, first lift the head restraints, then pull the backrest strap.

4. To return the seats to their original position, make sure they are locked into place (you will hear a click).

For families with children it is important: Kodiaq fastenings are provided ISOFIX in both outer seats of the second row and in the passenger seat of the first row. But in the third row ISOFIX no - this is a minus for large families.

Effect of size on handling and parking

Despite its sizeable dimensions, Škoda Kodiaq remains one of the most maneuverable crossovers in the class. Here's what you need to know:

• 🚗 Turning radius: 11.6 m (better than Ford Explorer - 12.1 m). This allows you to turn around in three steps on a standard city road.
• 🅿️ Minimum width of parking space: 2.5 m. At the same time machine length (4.76 m) requires a space of at least 5.5 m for comfortable reverse parking.
• 🎯 Visibility: The front and side are good thanks to the large windows, but the rear is limited due to the high trunk line. Helps in top versions 360° camera.

The problem of many owners Kodiaq — wide mirrors (protrude 24 cm from the body). In tight yard passages, this increases the risk of catching a pole or branch. Solution: in the multimedia settings you can activate automatic folding mirror function when setting the alarm.

⚠️ Attention: When towing a trailer, the total length of the combination may exceed 7 meters. In some countries (eg Germany) this requires a special sign on the rear window. Check local traffic regulations!

How are the sizes Kodiaq affect fuel consumption and dynamics

Large dimensions and weight (from 1,600 kg) inevitably affect efficiency. Let's look at how dimensions correlate with technical characteristics:

• ⛽ Fuel consumption: in the city Kodiaq 1.5 TSI (150 hp) consumes 8.5–9.2 l/100 km. For comparison: more compact Škoda Karoq spends 1.5 liters less.
• 🚀 Acceleration dynamics: up to 100 km/h in 9.2 seconds (for 2.0 TSI 190 hp). It's slower than Volkswagen Tiguan (8.5 s), but faster than Kia Sorento (9.7 s).
• 💨 Aerodynamics: coefficient Cx = 0.31. Not bad for an SUV, but worse than “streamlined” crossovers like Tesla Model Y (0,23).

Interesting fact: Kodiaq with all-wheel drive 4×4 80 kg heavier than the front-wheel drive version. This increases fuel consumption by 0.3–0.5 l/100 km, but improves handling on slippery surfaces.

Use the mode Eco in transmission settings

Monitor tire pressure (recommended: 2.3 bar front, 2.5 bar rear)

Remove roof rails when not in use.

Avoid overloading (maximum trailer weight: 2,000 kg)

Practical operating tips: what to consider when purchasing

If you are considering Škoda Kodiaq like a family car, here are a few specific recommendationsbased on owner reviews:

1. For tall passengers (above 185 cm): check the comfort in the third row. There's often not enough knee room, even with the front seats pushed forward.
2. For garage owners: The minimum height of the gate must be 1.9 m (including the antenna on the roof). The width of the gate is at least 2.3 m.
3. For travel: if you plan to frequently travel fully loaded, pay attention to versions with air suspension — it automatically equalizes the ground clearance when loading.

Another important point: in the 7-seater version Kodiaq no separate air conditioning for the third row. The air flow enters there through additional deflectors, but in hot weather this may not be enough. Solution: order the option three-zone climate control.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about sizes Škoda Kodiaq

❓ Will it fit? Kodiaq for a garage 2.3 meters wide?

Technically yes, but with caveats. Width Kodiaq without mirrors - 1.86 m, but taking into account the open doors (swing open 70°) you will need at least 2.5 m. If the garage is narrower, you will have to park very carefully or fold the mirrors when entering.

❓ Is it possible in Kodiaq transport furniture, for example, a 1.8 m high cabinet?

Not unless you remove the second row of seats. The maximum height of the cargo compartment with the seats folded is 1.1 m. For tall furniture you will have to use a trailer or cargo van.

❓ Which Kodiaq more spacious: pre-facelift (2017–2023) or new (2026)?

New Kodiaq (2026) is 61 mm longer and 12 mm wider, but the cabin height remains the same. The main changes are in ergonomics: more comfortable armrests and larger door pockets have appeared.

❓ How much does it weigh Kodiaq in equipped condition?

Weight depends on the configuration: from 1,620 kg (1.5 TSI, front-wheel drive) to 1,850 kg (2.0 TDI, all-wheel drive). Total weight - up to 2,300 kg.

❓ Can it be installed on the roof? Kodiaq luggage box?

Yes, but with restrictions. The maximum load on the rails is 75 kg (for static loads) or 50 kg (when moving). We recommend choosing boxes with an aerodynamic shape so as not to increase fuel consumption.
