Skoda Kodiaq Turning Radius (With Animation!) For 44 Editions
The turning circle of the Skoda Kodiaq is 12.09 m, an average based on 44 different editions. This represents the curb-to-curb turning circle, which is the diameter of the circle traced by the outermost front wheel. On this page, you'll learn what this turning circle means, how it's calculated and what it looks like visualized.
- Turning circle: 12.2 m
- Length: 4699 mm
- Width: 1882 mm

How are turning circles defined?
Turning circles are typically measured from the center of the car. When a manufacturer states a car's turning circle, they're referring to the diameter of the circle traced by the outermost front wheel when the car makes its tightest possible turn. This measurement is taken from the center of the car, considering both left and right turns, and using the larger of the two measurements. This is what is known as the curb-to-curb turning circle. It's important to distinguish this from the wall-to-wall turning circles: curb-to-curb measures the space needed for the wheels to complete a turn, while wall-to-wall accounts for the entire vehicle's body swing, resulting in a larger diameter.
Furthermore, each wheel of a car traces its own unique path during a turn. The inner front wheel will make a tighter turn than the outer front wheel, while the rear wheels follow yet different paths. This complexity is why simply pivoting a car around its center isn't an accurate representation of how it actually turns.
To address this complexity, automotive engineers use Ackermann steering geometry. This principle describes how to arrange the steering linkages so that the inside and outside wheels can trace appropriate turning circles without skidding. The animation on this page is based on these calculations, attempting to simulate how a real car would navigate a turn.
It's important to note that this animation is a simplification of real-world conditions. Factors such as tire deformation, suspension geometry, weight transfer during turning, and variations in road surface can all affect a vehicle's actual turning behavior. The animation provides a useful approximation, but real-world turning circles may vary slightly from what is shown here.
