Škoda Kodiaq dimensions: body, trunk and interior dimensions (2017–2026)

Czech crossover Škoda Kodiaq Since its debut in 2017, it has become one of the most sought-after family cars in the class D-segment. Its main strengths are its spacious interior, flexible seating layout and impressive trunk. But before buying, it is important to understand the dimensions of the car: is it suitable for your garage, is it convenient to park in the city, is there enough space for a stroller or bicycle?

In this article we will analyze in detail all sizes of Škoda Kodiaq - from the length of the body to the width of the luggage compartment, compare them with key competitors (Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento) and give practical advice. We will pay special attention to the differences between 5- and 7-seater versions, as well as changes after the 2021 facelift.

Technical characteristics: length, width, height and ground clearance

Basic dimensions Kodiaq remained unchanged since release, but after the 2021 update, the manufacturer adjusted some parameters. For example, ground clearance depending on the configuration, it now varies from 194 to 210 mm - this is important for those who plan to drive on dirt roads or slushy snow.

Below is a table with exact dimensions for all modifications, including all-wheel drive versions with 4×4 and adaptive suspension DCC:

Parameter	Škoda Kodiaq (2017–2020)	Škoda Kodiaq (2021–2026)
Length, mm	4 697	4 700
Width (without mirrors), mm	1 882	1 882
Height (without rails), mm	1 676	1 679
Ground clearance, mm	194–206	194–210
Wheelbase, mm	2 791	2 791

Please note: width including rear view mirrors reaches 2,105 mm (folded - 1,987 mm). This is critical when parking in narrow yards or older garages. If your garage is less than 2.3 meters wide, opening the doors may cause problems.

⚠️ Attention: When installing roof rails or roof boxes, the vehicle height increases by 30–50 mm. This can create difficulties when entering underground parking lots with height restrictions (standard - 2.1 m).

Comparison with competitors: who is more spacious?

Kodiaq often compared to Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace, Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento. Let's see how the Czech crossover looks against their background:

• 📏 Length: Kodiaq (4,700 mm) loses Sorento (4,810 mm), but longer Tiguan Allspace (4,700 mm in the new version).
• 🚗 Wheelbase: U Kodiaq she's identical Tiguan Allspace (2,791 mm), but less than Santa Fe (2,815 mm).
• 📦 Trunk volume: Here Kodiaq is in the lead - 270 liters in the 7-seater version versus 182 in Sorento.
• 🔄 Cabin flexibility: Only at Kodiaq and Tiguan Allspace The second row seats move longitudinally (by 180 mm).

If it is critical for you trunk volume in 5-seater mode, then Kodiaq offers 630 liters (versus 605 for Santa Fe and 571 y Sorento). But in the 7-seat configuration, the gap becomes more noticeable: the Koreans have only 182–200 liters left, while the Czech has 270.

Trunk dimensions: how much does the Kodiaq hold?

One of the key advantages Kodiaq - this is luggage compartment with variable geometry. Its volume depends on the number of passengers and the position of the seats. Here are the exact numbers:

• 🧳 5-seat mode: 630 liters (up to window level) / 720 liters (up to ceiling).
• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 7-seater mode: 270 liters (third row raised) / 630 liters (third row folded).
• 🚚 Maximum volume: 2,065 liters (all seats except driver's seat folded).
• 📦 Loading height: 760 mm (convenient for loading heavy objects).

For clarity: in the trunk Kodiaq in 5-seater mode the following can be placed:

• 🏀 3 large suitcases (type Samsonite 75 cm) + backpacks.
• 🚴 Two adult bicycles (with the front wheel removed).
• 👶 Stroller 3in1 + shopping bag.
• 🐕 Large transport crate for dogs (up to 100 cm in length).

The secret of such spaciousness is flat trunk floor (without protrusions) and the ability to fold the second row seats in a 40:20:40 ratio. This allows you to transport long cargo (for example, skis up to 2 meters long) without losing passenger seats.

Interior space: how comfortable is it for passengers?

Unlike many 7-seat crossovers, Kodiaq offers really comfortable conditions even for third row passengers. Here are the key parameters:

• 👤 First row: legroom - 1,045 mm, seat height and length adjustment (in top trim levels).
• 👥 Second row: legroom - up to 1,030 mm (with seats moved forward), width - 1,470 mm (enough space for three adults).
• 👶 Third row: legroom - 700 mm (comfortable for heights up to 175 cm), the ceiling does not press due to the high seating position.
• 🚪 Doors: opening angle - 80°, opening width - 720 mm (convenient for seating children).

Important nuance: in the 7-seater version Trunk volume is reduced to 270 liters, but the third row is equipped with:

• 💺 Heated seats (optional).
• 📱 Two connectors USB-C.
• 🌬 Individual air deflectors.

For families with children a nice bonus - wide doorways and a low threshold (480 mm), which simplifies the installation of child seats. And thanks to the system Easy Access (automatic sliding of seats when the door is opened) getting into the second row is not difficult even for older passengers.

⚠️ Attention: In the basic configuration Kodiaq not equipped with armrests on the second row. If you plan to often carry three passengers in the back, order the option Comfort Package.

How do dimensions affect handling?

Despite its considerable size, Kodiaq remains one of the most maneuverable in its class. Here's why:

• 🔄 Turning radius: 11.6 m (better than Sorento - 11.8 m).
• 🚗 Power steering: adaptive, with variable effort (easy to park even in tight yards).
• 📱 Help systems: 360° camera, front and rear parking sensors, automatic parking (optional).
• 🛣 Stability on the highway: thanks to the long wheelbase (2,791 mm), the car confidently holds its course.

However, there are also pitfalls. For example, body width (1,882 mm) may create difficulties:

• 🅿 In parking lots with narrow spaces (less than 2.5 m).
• 🛣 On serpentines in the mountains (you have to carefully calculate the trajectory).
• 🚧 When passing through a narrow gate (for example, in summer cottages).

If you often park in the city center, pay attention to the option Park Assist — it automatically finds a parking space and parks the car parallel or perpendicular to the curb. And for those who drive off-road, the function will be useful Off-Road Mode, which raises the ground clearance to 210 mm.

How to check if Kodiaq will fit in your garage?

Measure the inside width of the garage and add 50 cm for door opening. The minimum recommended width is 2.3 m (for the 7-seater version). Also note that when the trunk is open, the length of the car increases by 1 m (up to 5.7 m).

Practical advice on choosing equipment

Dimensions Kodiaq directly depend on the selected options. Here's what to consider:

1. Suspension:
   • 🔧 Standard: ground clearance 194 mm (enough for the city).
   • 🔧 DCC (adaptive): ground clearance 206–210 mm + choice of rigidity.
2. Wheels:
   • 🚲 17" wheels: maximum ground clearance (210 mm).
   • 🚲 19"–20" wheels: ground clearance decreases by 10–15 mm.
3. Roof:
   • 🏔 Rails: +30 mm to the height (may interfere in parking lots).
   • 🚣 Roof box: check the load capacity (max. 75 kg).

If you often drive on dirt roads, choose versions with 4×4 and adaptive suspension. For the city, a front-wheel drive version with 17-inch wheels is sufficient - it is cheaper to maintain and more economical by 0.5–1 l/100 km.

Frequently asked questions about Kodiaq dimensions

❓ Is it possible to install 235/55 R18 tires on the Kodiaq instead of the standard 215/65 R17?

Yes, but this will affect the ground clearance and speedometer readings. 235/55 R18 tires will reduce ground clearance by ~10 mm and reduce speed by 2–3 km/h. Also check that the rim width is at least 7.5J. We recommend using tire compatibility calculator.

❓ How much does the Kodiaq weigh when loaded?

Weight depends on the configuration:

• 1.5 TSI (front-wheel drive) - 1,620 kg.
• 2.0 TDI (all-wheel drive) - 1,850 kg.
• 2.0 TSI 4×4 - 1,890 kg.

Gross weight (with cargo and passengers) - up to 2,450 kg.

❓ Will skis with a length of 190 cm fit into the trunk of the Kodiaq?

Yes, if you fold the second row of seats in a 40:20:40 ratio. In this case, one passenger seat will remain free. Skis can also be transported through the hatch in the trunk (if it is equipped with the function Ski Bag).

❓ What is the maximum weight that can be carried on the roof?

The manufacturer allows a load of up to 75 kg on the roof rails (or 100 kg when using the original box Škoda). However, keep in mind that this reduces dynamics and increases fuel consumption by 0.3–0.5 l/100 km.

❓ How different are the dimensions of the Kodiaq and Kodiaq RS?

Version RS has the same length and width, but is lower by 15 mm (clearance 185 mm) due to the sports suspension. It also has different bumpers and exhaust system, but this does not affect the internal dimensions of the cabin and trunk.
