Posted on 04/04/2017 09:32 by H1UBSInterested to hear if anyone is taking delivery of the new Skoda Kodiaq launching this week.
First opinions and how does it rate as a towcar ?

Tried one today. Probably the best new car, capable of towing a reasonable sized caravan that i have tried for a long time. AND it comes in a powerful 180 Petrol engine version. On paper at least the best Petrol engine for towing purposes in a long time.
Realistically the Jury is still out, but for a medium/large tugger it seems to be a possibility. The electrically deployed tow ball is great. Tow ball weight limit of 80 kgs is disappointing but in my opinion, head & shoulders ahead of most alternatives!

The factory fit towbar is not available on the SEL and Edition manual diesel 4x4's (150tdi 7 seaters). Oddly they are an option on the DSG autos. Even more odd is that if you select those manual 150tdi engines on the Skoda Configurator the towing weights and gross train weights are blank. Does this mean they don't have type approval for towing at all ? Will have to find one and check the VIN plated weights.
