So, technically the Skoda Kodiaq is like a Ateca Seat, although its imposing body offers almost 40 centimeters in size to accommodate a third row of seats or if waiver of that greater habitability, the largest segment of the market and almost trunk. The mechanical range is as rich as the MQB platform allows and in this case we find a version 150 2.0 TDI, with automatic dual clutch DSG 7-speed transmission integrated to the 4 wheels.

Do you remember the old Nissan Qashqai + 2? The role of Qashqai witness for families "numerous" He has taken in this generation Nissan X-Trail, a variant derived from technically successful Qashqai, prolonging its body to the 4.64 meters, to also be able to have a third row of seats or choose a very versatile and capable trunk.

He slip effect Typical of these changes is well managed and unless stopped from trying out very fast change slows everything not "slide"Otherwise, tim sum I driveability.

Great combination proposing the Kodiaq. A 2.0 TDI 150 hp very effective and enjoyable as it is in every situation your DSG. But if not for its lower power, more weight of the Kodiaq passes bill and in our measurements the X-Trail always looms before "nose". But Kodiaq It has a more refined and tourism roll and appears to be more prepared to take quick road. In fact, it slows surprisingly well. He Nissan X-Trail has a general feel more "veteran"But it has also influenced the dynamics of mixed tires mounted, although well suited to toggle all surfaces, usually less accurate if you’re going to run on good asphalt.
