    Saw my first Kodiaq on the weekend (in Newcastle). Quite a smart looking car - bigger than i thought it was going to be (looks longer than the Tiguan). If i was in the market for a mid size SUV type thingy i would definitely have a look and test drive of the Kodiaq.

    Well yes of course it's longer than the Tiguan, the Koroq will be longer I'd imagine even. They are the same length as the Octavia from memory. So longer than my Hyundai Santa Fe, can't recall if they are quite as wide.

    Why "of course" longer? The Kodiaq is the same dimensions as the Tiguan Allspace and the Koroq is the same dimensions as the Tiguan we have now. Tiguan Allspace due here early 2018.

    Similar to the previous gen Tiguan vs Yeti, the Karoq is actually a bit shorter than the current Tiggy. It does have a longer wheelbase, is a bit wider and lower though.

    Because even the Octavia is longer than the Tiguan so the Kodiaq was always going to be. Tigs are little short ass things, pretty much everything but a Yeti on the market is longer. The allspace isn't here yet. To be honest I think its a mistake of VWA to bring them here with the Kodiaq on the scene. I could argue the same for the Golf wagon as well, why they made them at all I think lies in the current issues that VW workers are complaining about with Skoda stealing all their work and business. Don't think its a coincidence that the Scout has been taken off the market here, and Id say that is more to do with the Golf AWD and less to do with a Kodiaq.

    Is that a Santa Fe dimensions? I'm surprised that the Kodiaq is wider, but didn't look that closely when I climbed in one. I like the width of the Octy, my Santa Fe 2011 is shorter so easy to park, but wider so cops a tonne of carpark damage no matter where I park it.

    The Hyundai is the Tucson, and the kia sportage.

    Ah ok, that makes sense. I was surprised when I bought my Octy 3 home that it was longer than my Santa Fe, I knew they had got longer but the Octy 2 was quite a bit shorter. The width is what drives me nuts with the narrow parking everywhere so the extra length of the Kodiaq doesn't worry me, and if its between the SF and the Octy in width that would be great.
