  • Elegant & premium design language
  • Powerful 2-litre turbo petrol engine with smooth 7-speed DSG gearbox
  • It offers a comfortable ride with cushy suspension and Dynamic Chassis Control
  • Feature loaded interior with a panoramic sunroof, 12-speaker Canton music system, auto parking, 360-degree camera, and more

• What could have been better

  • The 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine is thirsty and does not offer good mileage

  • The third row is cramped for adult passengers and only suitable for kids
  • Most of the features like the dynamic chassis control available in the L&K variant only

Smooth Ride With Cushy Suspension & Dynamic Chassis Control 10

• Skoda always aims to give its customers a luxurious and smooth ride. The Skoda Kodiaq is similar to high-end luxury cars in providing enjoyable steering feedback and a calm ride. Large SUVs are expected to offer varied passenger comfort, and while the Kodiaq is comfortable, it's not extremely so
• Even when driven assertively, its suspensions skillfully absorb impacts, preventing excessive rocking or bouncing. This makes it drive surprisingly well for its size. However, on surfaces that aren't perfectly smooth, the ride can feel a bit unsettled due to slightly firmer suspension springs. This aspect might be more noticeable because of choices in anti-roll bars, and our sample car's adjustable dampers didn't completely resolve this.
• The Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) allows the car to adapt its damping according to the type of terrain you're driving on. This feature ensures a more comfortable ride, whether you're on smooth roads or rough terrain.

  It's the best 50 Lakhs can buy in India in 2023. After an year long evaluation of Audi Q3, GLA, X1 and Fortuner, I ended up choosing the Kodiaq for the practicality it offers & all the Skoda clever features. Comfortable cushy ride, great acceleration in sports mode and with the available torque, it's easy to maneuver during city drives. 5/7 seat configuration option makes it a very practical option for families. If you are not that bothered about the 3 logos which ends up getting you a smaller car at a higher price (in this price segment), then go for the Kodiaq.

  Priced very competitive in comparison to luxury SUVs, and offers loads of attractive gizmos. Loads of legroom for even the third row, any big guy can fit in the third row very easily. It is available in automatic transmission which is a good considering the slow indian traffic , a relief from the constant use of the clutch.

  Reliability is as good as any premium german built high end luxury segment car. Interior has premium looking finish and has a strong presence on the road. Sufficient power and torque to pull itself out of any situation.
