When do you choose the Škoda Kodiaq and when the Volvo XC40?
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
Choose the Volvo XC40 if…
- you want a compact petrol SUV with a lot of safety equipment
- you want to tow 2,000 kg: the B4 can (B3: 1,600 kg)
- you value a neatly finished interior with practical details
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.
What do the Škoda Kodiaq and the Volvo XC40 cost per month?
Example scenario: 5 years, 15,000 km a year, the cheapest version of each
