Skoda Kodiaq fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Skoda Kodiaq from 2017, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2025 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol, diesel and petrol hybrid versions ranges from 33.4 to 53.6 mpg, with CO2 of 133 to 192 g/km; plug-in hybrid versions are rated at 706.2 mpg (weighted). On the older NEDC test (listings 2017 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 38.2 to 56.5 mpg, with CO2 of 131 to 170 g/km.

Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide)
come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
Plug-in hybrid figures are VCA’s weighted values, which count driving on battery power as
well as on fuel.
VCA’s data has no Skoda versions for 2019 to 2024, so the years listed may leave out years the Skoda Kodiaq was on sale.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model name “Kodiaq”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Skoda Kodiaq safety recalls
DVSA lists 8 safety recalls for the Skoda Kodiaq since 1992, the first in 2019. The most recent was launched on 20 February 2026.

Launched 20 February 2026DVSA recall R/2026/083Manufacturer ref. 72SG
Defect
Škoda Auto has discovered that there is a risk with the Kodiaq model from a limited production period that the edge of the inner frame of the front seats may compromise the integrity of the side airbag when activated. This situation may reduce the protective effect of the side airbag which could result in an increased risk of injury to passengers in the event of an accident.For safety reasons your vehicle must be repaired. We strongly recommend that you contact an authorized Škoda service center as soon as possible to arrange a repair date. In the first instance we ask that you contact your local ŠKODA authorised repairer as soon as possible to make an appointment. The ŠKODA authorised repairer closest to you can be found on https://tools.skoda.co.uk/find-a-retailer
Remedy
The vehicle will be fitted with sharp edge protection for the inner frame of the front seats to prevent damage to the integrity of the side airbag when it is deployed.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Skoda Kodiaq. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
