2 Answers
The differences between the Kodiaq and Kodiaq GT can be observed from the side profile: The Kodiaq features square and angular lines, presenting a very traditional SUV silhouette; whereas the Kodiaq GT adopts a fastback design, embodying a typical coupe style. In terms of exhaust pipe appearance: The Kodiaq uses a hidden exhaust pipe; while the Kodiaq GT is equipped with cylindrical exhaust pipes. From an interior perspective: The Kodiaq employs a traditional seat design; whereas the Kodiaq GT features integrated sport seats. Regarding body dimensions: The Kodiaq measures 4698mm in length, 1883mm in width, and 1676mm in height; while the Kodiaq GT measures 4634mm in length, 1883mm in width, and 1649mm in height.
As a family user, I prefer the practicality of the Kodiaq. Its standard SUV styling ensures a spacious interior, especially the third-row seats which make family trips more convenient. The boxy trunk can easily accommodate strollers and luggage. In contrast, the GT version features a fastback design with more dynamic rear lines, but this compromises rear headroom and doesn't offer a 7-seat option. Having test-driven both, I found the GT's chassis tuning stiffer—better for cornering support but less comfortable on bumpy roads compared to the standard version. The standard model's suspension is more pliant, making it ideal for families with elderly or children. Fuel consumption is similar, but the standard version offers greater discounts. I'd recommend the Kodiaq for families with kids, while the GT might suit smaller households better.
