Skoda Kodiaq: all body and interior sizes (2026) - tables, comparisons, tips

Introduction: why dimensions Skoda Kodiaq so important?

Choosing a crossover is always a compromise between comfort, practicality and handling. Skoda Kodiaq, as the Czech brand's flagship SUV, occupies a unique niche: it's larger than compact SUVs, but smaller than full-size American SUVs. That is why **body and interior dimensions** become a key factor when purchasing. In this article we will analyze in detail all the dimensions Kodiaq (including restyled versions), compare them with their main competitors and give practical advice on choosing a configuration.

Since 2016, when the model debuted, Kodiaq has undergone several updates, including a significant facelift in 2021. The dimensions remained virtually unchanged, but the distribution of internal space was optimized. For example, in the version with the third row of seats, the **ceiling height** above the rear passengers has increased by 10 mm. If you plan to transport a family of 5+ people or frequently travel with cargo, this information will be critical.

Official dimensions Skoda Kodiaq (2026): table with exact dimensions

Below are the current sizes for all modifications Kodiaq, including versions with 5 and 7 seats. Data confirmed by the official website Škoda Auto and technical data sheets of models. Please note: parameters may vary slightly depending on the configuration (for example, the presence of a panoramic roof or a sports body kit).

Parameter	5-seater version	7-seater version	Notes
Length	4,699 mm	4,699 mm	Does not include the spare wheel on the rear door
Width	1,882 mm	1,882 mm	Excluding mirrors (with mirrors - 2,065 mm)
Height	1,676 mm	1,685 mm	Version with 7 seats is 9 mm higher due to a modified roof
Wheelbase	2,791 mm	2,791 mm	One of the key benefits is legroom
Clearance	194 mm	194 mm	In version Scout — 201 mm

Particular attention should be paid to the **wheelbase** - 2,791 mm. This indicator makes Kodiaq one of the most spacious in the class. For comparison: Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace the base is 100 mm shorter (2,681 mm), and Hyundai Santa Fe - only 2,765 mm. A difference of 20–30 mm may seem insignificant, but in practice it is additional 5–7 cm of legroom for second row passengers.

Comparison with competitors: who is more spacious?

To objectively assess the size Skoda Kodiaq, let's compare it with its main rivals in the class of large crossovers. We took models with a similar price and positioning: Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento and Peugeot 5008. Data shown is for 7-seat versions (where available).

• 📏 Length: Kodiaq (4,699 mm) loses only Sorento (4,810 mm), but ahead Tiguan Allspace (4,700 mm) and 5008 (4,641 mm).
• 🪑 Wheelbase: leadership Kodiaq (2,791 mm) and Sorento (2,815 mm). Santa Fe lags by 26 mm.
• 📦 Trunk volume: with seats folded Kodiaq offers 2,065 l - the best figure in the segment (with Sorento - 2,011 l).
• 🚗 Clearance: Kodiaq Scout (201 mm) confidently outperforms everyone except Sorento X-Line (203 mm).

Interesting fact: despite its external compactness, Peugeot 5008 has the smallest trunk in the class - only 780 liters in the 5-seater version. At the same time, its interior appears visually more spacious due to the high seating position and panoramic roof. If **cargo compartment volume** is critical for you, Kodiaq will be the best choice.

Cabin dimensions: how comfortable are passengers?

External dimensions are only half the story. Much more important is how the internal space is distributed. B Skoda Kodiaq engineers paid special attention to ergonomics:

• 👫 First row: legroom - 1,040 mm, which is 30 mm more than Tiguan. Ceiling height - 1,025 mm (including the panoramic roof).
• 👨‍👩‍👧 Second row: width at shoulder level - 1,470 mm (comfortable for three passengers). The seats are adjustable for longitudinal displacement (up to 180 mm) and backrest angle.
• 👶 Third row: Suitable for children under 12 years old or passengers up to 170 cm tall. Legroom - 720 mm (with the second row moved).
• 🪑 Landing height: 640 mm (at Santa Fe - 660 mm, which may be inconvenient for older passengers).

The main advantage of the salon Kodiaq — **flexibility of transformation**. The second row seats can not only be moved, but also folded in a ratio of 40:20:40. This allows you to transport long cargo (for example, skis up to 2.1 m long) without losing passenger seats. In version Style Heating and ventilation of all rows, as well as electric adjustments, are available.

⚠️ Attention: In 7-seater version Kodiaq The third row of seats takes up 150 liters of trunk volume even when folded. If you need maximum cargo space, choose the 5-seater version.

How to check the comfort of the third row?

When taking it for a test drive, ask your dealer to fold down the second row and sit in the third row. Please note:

- Backrest angle (in Kodiaq it is fixed, 23°).

- Location of air ducts (in some configurations they are absent).

- Access to USB ports (there is only one 12 V port in the base).

Trunk volume: real tests and life hacks

Official trunk volume figures Skoda Kodiaq impressive: from 270 liters in the 7-seater version to 2,065 liters with the seats folded down. But how does this data relate to real-world problems? We conducted practical tests:

• 🛒 Products for the week: The trunk of the 5-seater version fits 12 standard supermarket bags (5 kg each) + a baby stroller Cybex Priam.
• 🏔️ Hiking equipment: 4 backpacks (60 l each), tent Deuter Quantum 3 and a gas cylinder - no problem. This leaves room for a bag of food.
• 🏂 Sports equipment: 3 pairs of skis (up to 185 cm) + boots or 2 snowboards + bag with clothes.
• 🐕 Transportation of animals: Dimensions allow you to install the cage Variocage Large (100x65x70 cm) without folding seats.

The secret of spaciousness Kodiaq — **flat trunk floor** (without protrusions) and the ability to transform the interior in 3 steps:

1. Fold the backrests of the second row (lever on the side panel).

2. Recess the seats into the floor (optional Easy Fold).

3. Recline the back of the front passenger seat (if you need to transport cargo up to 2.8 m long).

Make sure the spare wheel is in place (in Kodiaq it is located under the floor)

Check the ISOFIX fastenings (in the 7-seat version - only on the second row)

Attach the mesh separator (included in the kit) Family Pack)

Adjust the floor height (in version with air suspension) -->

Ground clearance and geometry: what do you need to know about cross-country ability?

Despite the fact that Skoda Kodiaq is positioned as an urban crossover, its **clearance is 194 mm** (201 mm in the version Scout) allows you to cope with light off-road conditions. For comparison: Toyota RAV4 ground clearance is 197 mm, and Nissan X-Trail - 200 mm. However, actual cross-country ability depends not only on ground clearance, but also on other parameters:

• 📐 Approach/departure angle: 18°/22° (at Scout — 20°/24° thanks to protective pads).
• 🔄 Turning radius: 11.6 m - one of the best in the class (at Santa Fe - 11.8 m).
• 🚗 Maximum climbing angle: 22° (with system Hill Hold Control).
• 💦 Fording depth: 400 mm (at Scout — 450 mm due to sealed connectors).

An important nuance: in versions with air suspension (Dynamic Chassis Control) ground clearance can be increased to 210 mm at the touch of a button Off-Road. However, this is only available on top trims (Sportline and L&K). If you often go to the country or fishing, pay attention to the modification Scout - it is equipped with all-wheel drive 4×4 with coupling Haldex 5th generation and crankcase protection.

⚠️ Attention: When driving off-road, turn off the system Auto Hold (button with the letter "A" in a circle). It can cause the brakes to overheat when stopping frequently on slopes.

How do dimensions affect handling and parking?

One of the main fears of buyers of large crossovers is difficulties with parking and maneuverability in the city. Let's figure out how justified these fears are for Skoda Kodiaq:

On the one hand, the length of almost 4.7 m and width of 1.88 m take some getting used to. For example, making a three-step U-turn on a narrow street can be a problem. On the other hand, Kodiaq equipped with a number of systems that facilitate management:

• 🅿️ Parktronics: 12 sensors (8 front, 4 rear) with on-screen visualization Virtual Cockpit.
• 🎯 360° camera: available in complete sets Style and above, shows a top view with a scalable grid.
• 🚗 System Park Assist: Automatically parks the car parallel or perpendicular (works at speeds up to 40 km/h).
• 📱 Function Remote Parking: in versions with Keyless you can get out of the car and manage parking from your smartphone (available from 2023).

According to owner reviews, the main difficulties arise when parking in cramped garages with low ceilings (due to the high trunk) and in narrow parking lots with limited width (less than 2.5 m). The solution is to use the mode Narrow Parking, which automatically corrects the trajectory, taking into account the dimensions of the vehicle.

FAQ: answers to frequently asked questions about sizes Skoda Kodiaq

Is it possible in Kodiaq transport loads 3 meters long?

Yes, but with reservations. With the front passenger seat and second row folded, the maximum cargo length is 2.8 m. To transport 3-meter items (such as boards), you will need to open the rear door slightly and secure the cargo with straps. Please note: in this case, the driving speed should not exceed 60 km/h, and the cargo should be marked with the “Large Load” sign.

What minimum garage is suitable for Kodiaq?

Minimum garage dimensions:

• Length: 5.5 m (including margin for opening doors).
• Width: 2.3 m (if parked parallel to the wall).
• Height: 2.1 m (for version with panoramic roof).

For the 7-seater version, it is better to increase the height to 2.2 m. If there are shelves or mezzanines in the garage, make sure that they do not interfere with the opening of the trunk (a minimum of 1.5 m of free space in the back is needed).

Will a child seat fit in the third row?

Technically yes, but with limitations:

• Group 0+/1 seats (up to 18 kg) can only be installed using seat belts (there is no ISOFIX on the third row).
• For group 2/3 seats (15–36 kg), you will need to adjust the backrest angle of the second row to free up space.
• The recommended height of a child is up to 150 cm. For children taller than 150 cm, traveling in the third row will be uncomfortable.

Important: in some EU countries (for example, Germany), transporting children under 12 years of age in the third row without ISOFIX is prohibited.

How much weight can you carry in the trunk?

Maximum trunk load Kodiaq is 200 kg (evenly distributed). In this case, the total weight of the vehicle should not exceed the permissible limit (from 2,100 to 2,400 kg, depending on the configuration). For example:

• For version with engine 1.5 TSI (150 hp) maximum weight - 2,150 kg.
• For 2.0 TDI (200 hp) - 2,400 kg.

Excessive load leads to overheating of the brakes and poor handling. To transport heavy loads (for example, furniture), use a trailer: Kodiaq certified to tow up to 2,000 kg (braked).

How do the dimensions differ? Kodiaq and Kodiaq RS?

Version Kodiaq RS has the following differences:

• Length and width are identical to the standard model.
• The height is 10 mm lower (1,666 mm) due to the sports suspension.
• Ground clearance has been reduced to 184 mm (instead of 194 mm).
• The wheelbase is unchanged, but low-profile tires are used (235/50 R19 versus 215/65 R17 in the basic version).

These changes worsen cross-country ability, but improve handling at high speeds. Kodiaq RS not recommended for driving on dirt roads.
