In the frontal offset test, readings of neck tension in the 10 year dummy indicated poor protection. Otherwise, protection of both dummies was good or adequate in this test. In the side barrier test, protection of all critical body areas was good, for both dummies. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that position. Clear information is provided regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. The Group 0+ Universal restraint could not be properly installed in the rear outboard seats, and no Universal restraints should be used in the optional third row seats. Otherwise, restraints could be properly installed and accommodated.

The protection provided by the bonnet to the head of a struck pedestrian was good or adequate over most of the bonnet surface, with some poor results recorded on the stiff windscreen pillars. The Kodiaq scored maximum points for the protection provided by the bumper to pedestrians' legs, with good results at all test locations. Protection of the pelvis area was mostly good but with some poor results recorded. The autonomous emergency braking system is capable of detecting pedestrians and, in tests of this functionality, performed adequately.

The standard-fit autonomous emergency braking system performed well in tests of its functionality at highway speeds, with collisions avoided in almost all scenarios. Also standard are a driver-set speed limitation device and seatbelt reminders for the front and second row seats. A seatbelt reminder is optional for the third row seats, where installed.

The passenger compartment of the Kodiaq remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger. Škoda showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. In the full-width rigid barrier frontal impact, protection for the driver's chest was rated as marginal and that of all other critical body areas as good or adequate, for both driver and rear passenger. The Kodiaq scored full points in the side barrier test, with good protection of all critical body regions. In the more severe side pole impact, protection of the chest was adequate and that of other areas was good. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats, including the optional third row, indicated marginal whiplash protection. The Kodiaq has a standard-fit autonomous emergency braking system which operates at the low speeds, typical of city driving, at which many whiplash injuries are caused. The system performed well in tests of its low-speed functionality.
