This not only allows the driver to receive a smoother journey but also means that rough terrains are no longer a cause for concern.
With more room to please, the Skoda Kodiaq's boot is one of the largest in its class. Long gone are the days of compromising what you pack, the rear seats can be folded down making a boot space of 2,065 litres.
Skoda is constantly looking out for driver safety, the Driver assistance technology has been designed to take the chore out of driving and leave you with a comfortable, confident drive instead. Loaded with clever technology like Travel Assist, Blind Spot Assist, Park Assist, Multi-Collison Brake and Pedestrian Monitor the Skoda Kodiaq transforms every journey.
What's my Towing Capacity?
The Skoda Kodiaq has an average towing capacity of 1,800KG to 2,300KG. these generous towing weights will allow the driver to tow anything from a cycle carrier up to a medium-sized caravan, however, please always check the weight of what you are towing as overloading your vehicle can cause damage or an accident. To receive an accurate towing capacity for your Skoda Kodiaq please refer to your vehicle's VIN plate.
Which Towbar is best for my Skoda Kodiaq?
There are three different styles of towbars available for the Skoda Kodiaq, a fixed swan neck towbar, a fixed flange towbar and a detachable swan neck towbar.
The fixed flange towbar is a permanent style of towbar, meaning it cannot be removed at the end of towing. The fixed flange towbar is the only style of towbar that is equipped with a plate, this allows for towing accessories to be bolted on the plate leaving the towball free to tow with. If you are planning on towing a Caravan with an ALKO stabiliser an ALKO towball would need to be purchased before fitment. This towball can easily be added to your order and fitted by our informative engineer. The fixed flange towbar is compatible with all styles of caravans, trailers and caravans.
The fixed swan neck towbar is another style of permanent towbar, however, due to its thin design it is popular with Kodiaq owners with rear parking sensors. The fixed swan neck allows for a lot more clearance between the towball and parking sensors than the fixed flange towbar, therefore making it a lot less likely to cause interference when the vehicle is put in reverse. The Fixed swan neck is also ALKO compatible meaning there is no requirement for an ALKO towball if you are planning on hitching up a caravan with an ALKO stabiliser. The fixed swan neck is compatible with all clamp on the style of towbars, trailers and caravans.
The detachable swan neck is the only detachable swan neck that we offer, its sleek design is popular with Kodiaq drivers. The detachable swan neck is almost identical to the fixed swan neck, with one main difference- it detaches. The detachable swan neck is easily removed from its housing using a twist-and-push method. Once detached the remainder of the towbar is left almost invisible, leaving the Kodiaq to return to its pre-towbar state. For protection, each detachable towbar comes with a key so lock the towbar neck into place during use. All the detachable swan neck towbars are compatible with all clamp-on cycle carriers, trailers, caravans and also ALKO stabilisers.
Will it need a bumper cut?
When fitting any of the three styles of towbars to your Skoda Kodiaq there will be a small bumper cut made to the vehicle's undertray. The bumper cut is classed as non-visible as it will only be noticeable if looking underneath the car at its undertray. During the towbar installation, the bumper will be removed, upon completion, this will be carefully fitted. Our professional towbar engineer will always begin the fitment by guiding you through the process and explaining any modifications that may need to be made to your vehicle, and then again when the engineer has finished the fitment, he will show you how the towbar works and answer any questions you may have.
