The ground clearance compared to other Skoda models
Within the expansive Skoda lineup, the Kodiaq stands tall—quite literally. Compared to other models like the limousine-centric Skoda Superb (136 mm) or the agile Skoda Fabia (138 mm), the Kodiaq's ground clearance of 189 mm clearly stakes its claim as a robust player. Even when juxtaposed against other SUVs in the Skoda stable, such as the Karoq (172 mm) and the Kamiq (182 mm), the Kodiaq manages to secure a higher stance, albeit slightly edged out by variants like the Kodiaq Scout at 191 mm. This hierarchical positioning underscores the Kodiaq's all-terrain versatility.

How does the ground clearance of the Skoda Kodiaq compare to it's nearest competitors?
Turning our gaze towards the competition, the Kodiaq's ground clearance positions it both midway and effectively competitive in its segment. For perspective, it bests the BMW iX3's 179 mm and the Mazda CX-30's modest 130 mm. However, it falls short of the Genesis GV80, which offers a towering 205 mm, and the Subaru XV at a remarkable 220 mm, indicating that while the Kodiaq excels in many areas, there's still ground (pun intended) for improvement. The Genesis GV70 sits just below with 185 mm, underscoring the Kodiaq's fine-tuned balance of dimensions and capability. Such comparisons highlight the Kodiaq's strategic footing in the market, balancing urban elegance with off-road readiness, all while maintaining a respectable wheelbase and length configuration that sits comfortably within the segment norms.
