When do you choose the Renault Symbioz and when the Škoda Kodiaq?
Choose the Renault Symbioz if…
- You want an SUV that Autozine calls a full-fledged mid-size car, with a boot of at least 492 litres.
- You want an economical full hybrid: 4.3 l/100 km on the WLTP cycle, 1 litre per 20 km in Autozine's test.
- You want a richly equipped car, as Autozine describes the standard equipment.
- You want a petrol hybrid as an alternative to the fully electric Scenic.
Choose the Škoda Kodiaq if…
- you want as much passenger and luggage space as possible for your money: ANWB and Autozine call the space exceptional
- you want to drive short trips electrically and still have a petrol engine: the PHEV manages 119 to 123 km WLTP electric
- you want to tow 1,800 kg braked: that applies to both the PHEV and the mHEV
These lists come from our own review of each model (compiled with the help of AI from the sources listed, facts checked automatically; we have not driven the cars). They are not a verdict on which of the two is better.
