Used test: Skoda Kodiaq vs Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace verdict

Our verdict

There isn't a bad choice here: the Skoda Kodiaq and VW Tiguan Allspace are great cars with similar strengths. Really, it depends on where your priorities lie. If it's with the driving experience, then the Tiguan is the SUV to choose because it rides and handles that bit better, plus it offers slightly punchier performance. 

However, if you prioritise passenger and boot space, as well as interior quality, we'd point you towards the Kodiaq. We believe this will be what most buyers in this class want and, seeing as the Kodiaq is still a good car to drive, it takes the number one spot in this test.
