Who they are

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.

Profile · II 2.0 TDI (NU, 2024)

Skoda Kodiaq

Second-generation seven-seat SUV on the MQB-evo platform. Strong points are the braked towing weight (2,000 kg) and the optional third seat row. The 2.0 TDI returns WLTP 5.7 l/100km; owners report 6-7 l/100km in practice (public forums, not measured by us). Boot 340 l with the third row folded and in use, considerably more with that row folded down (manufacturer figure).

Profile · 1.5 TSI (NX, facelift 2024)

Skoda Octavia

Spacious family liftback on the MQB platform. Strong points are the boot (600 l) and the braked towing weight (1,600 kg). The 1.5 TSI with mild-hybrid returns WLTP 5.6 l/100km; owners report 6-7 l/100km in practice (public forums, not measured by us).
