The Kodiaq has long been a favourite for UK families. It’s known for its roomy interior, clever features, and dependable performance.

• Seating: Up to 7 seats, perfect for larger families
• Engines: Petrol, diesel, and mild-hybrid options
• Boot space: Among the largest in its class
  
  

If you need maximum practicality and space, the Kodiaq remains a strong contender.

Skoda’s new Elroq represents a step into the future. As a fully electric family SUV, it combines zero-emission driving with Skoda’s trademark functionality.

• Range: Expected WLTP of around 300 miles
• Charging: Rapid charging capability for busy family life
• Design: Modern, aerodynamic styling with a focus on comfort
  
  

For families who want to cut fuel costs and embrace electric driving, the Elroq delivers innovation without compromise.

When it comes to family life, space and comfort are priorities.

• Kodiaq: Bigger overall, flexible seating arrangements, ideal for long trips.
• Elroq: Slightly more compact, but with clever storage and EV-friendly interior design.
  
  

If seven seats are essential, the Kodiaq leads. If you’re ready for electric mobility and mostly need five seats, the Elroq fits well.

• Kodiaq: Smooth, confident, and familiar — with engine options to suit your needs.
• Elroq: Quiet, instant torque, and designed for city and suburban life.
  
  

For motorway driving and long distances, the Kodiaq’s variety of engines is reassuring. For urban commutes, the Elroq shines with its silent performance.

Both SUVs come well-equipped with advanced features.

• Kodiaq: Digital cockpit, large infotainment system, and driver-assist technologies.
• Elroq: EV-focused digital systems, smart connectivity, and the latest Skoda safety innovations.
  
  

Whichever you choose, Skoda ensures your family is well-protected.

• Pick the Kodiaq if you want maximum space, seven-seat flexibility, and proven practicality.
• Pick the Elroq if you’re ready to embrace all-electric driving with modern design and efficiency.
  
  

Both SUVs are strong choices, the best fit depends on how your family lives and travels.
