Here's the latest addition to our long-term test fleet? What do you think of the spec?
is that it set the lap record for a seven-seater around the legendary Nurburgring race circuit, even with the – admittedly brawny – diesel engine the car was launched with. At the hands of the dearly missed racing driver Sabine Schmitz, it posted a time of 9min 29.8sec.
All of which got me thinking that opting for the cheaper, Sportline model probably makes more sense. And first impressions suggest I was right. Aside from the omission of a little vRS logo on the front grille and a slightly different wheel design, there’s very little to differentiate the two visually. And yet the vRS model cost around £4000 more when new.
Going used also meant that I skipped the waiting list that would have come with ordering a brand new car.
You get sports suspension with the Kodiaq Sportline to make it sharper to drive than lesser models, although everything is fixed here, whereas the vRS has adaptive suspension as standard. That system allows you to slacken things off a bit at the expense of some float at high speed, helping to absorb the impacts from potholes.
