Unlike the diesel Kodiaq which offered just about enough punch on the highway, there’s always power in reserve so overtaking is effortless. Thanks to the strong mid-range, this motor never feels strained when you are going for it. It impresses under most conditions and allows the Kodiaq to mask its weight and get up to speed effortlessly. Although there is a bit of turbo lag under 2,000revs and you can really feel it in Eco mode wherein the throttle response is a bit lazy, this engine overall is commendably responsive and quiet. Power delivery remains smooth and extremely linear and it’s quite predictable as well. We are happy to report that the Kodiaq didn’t disappoint for the most part.
