Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs.

With 7.6/10 for performance, this is a car tuned for daily driving rather than excitement — perfectly capable on the commute, unremarkable on a back road. On technology it rates 8.1/10: a modern, well-integrated suite that compares favorably with anything at this price point.
Priced from $34,000–$39,577, 26 MPG, seating 7, the Skoda Kodiaq sits in the mid-market bracket of the suv segment. Its value score of 8.2/10 confirms that the price reflects the quality — you're getting a lot for your money here. At 2 years old, it's recent enough that the core feature set holds up well against current competition.
Verdict: Nothing about the 2024 Skoda Kodiaq will scare a sensible buyer off. It scores consistently across the board, and it does what a good suv should — quietly and competently.
