Skoda Kodiaq [2017-2020] User Reviews

Buying experience was good. Got the car within few days and went for a drive and the car performed brilliantly well. Around corners it's absolutely surefooted and composed. Doesn't feel it's 1800 kgms at all. Super agile and easy to drive. Mileage is also good. Gearbox is the best in segment. Super quick. Also the front and the 2nd row is absolutely comfortable and the space is abundant. The seats are wide and supportive. You won't be tired after a long journey. The power output on paper sounds little less but out on the road, flat out, it is wonderful. You can just zip through lanes. Safety wise it's 5 star euro n-cap car and has loads of active and passive safety features. It has 9 air bags which just makes you feel safe. Features are in abundance, smart and clever features like umbrellas, boot torch, door edge protectors come in handy. Actually on rainy days, I don't even carry an umbrella because the car has it and the slot is again intelligent as it can drain the water and your Suv remains clean. As far as looks are concerned, it looks so classy and the design language, like the superb, is underrated yet elegant. Regarding servicing, I have only one service done, and I have nothing to complain about. Fantastic car. It is actually quicker to 100 km/r than the Endeavour and Fortuner. I would highly recommend one. All in all it's indestructible and feels it's a segment above.

Drove a few feet through 12 inches of water and the car engine locked up. Insurance wont cover it and the company wants 15 lakhs to repair it. I am told that the air intake into the engine is placed way down which is obviously a design defect considering road conditions in India during monsoons.

This car is the best in its segment. I'm totally Enjoying its ownership. Engine response is just too good, way more responsive than its companions toyota fortuner and ford endeavour. If we talk about comfort and safety, car has and additional feature of head supporters on the headrests and many more, and for safety it got 9 airbags! Including the 3rd row airbags! What else we want in the suv at this price range! Simply value for money.

Exceeded expectations overall. Yes, there are minor glitches like the sun roof motor just started vibrating but that is covered under the 4 yr/1 lakh km warranty, hence not worried. At the time of ignition, there's a little resistance at the brake pedal. Front camera malfunction. However, these are minor problems whereas the overall experience is glorious. First service was done before 15000 kms. The car continues to glide smoothly, great mileage of 17 kms on the highway at 100 mph. The sport option allows the engine to become a beast by infusing power. But mostly I drive in normal mode. Air Conditioning is working fine. Good suspension system. I like the build quality. The doors are solid. No rattling whatsoever. Treat the car well and you'll be a happy customer. I love the music system. I love the foot swipe to open and shut the boot, especially more in the times of Corona. The neck support in the rear seats are an amazing feature. The front seats are ergonomically designed. The technology in the infotainment system is good. Though I would have liked the Android or Apple car play system to function via bluetooth rather than USB port. The other improvement area is the finish and look of the arm rest area and the seats. That would make the Kodiak L&K simply perfect.

Exterior Solid Built Quality and material used as Skoda is known for it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) All the bells n whistles which are expected.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Under powered engine with no optio for Manual and Petrol, should have kept the rivals ( Ford and Toyota ) in mind. Fuel economy is good keeping in mind Automatic and weight of the SUV, gearbox is smooth. Skoda has done the same mistake of following the foot-steps of the Mother Brand - VW. An SUV with better specifications is available at much lesser cost ( Jeep Compass ). Will not FLY HIGH due to mainly two reasons - extremely expensive in comparison to rivals and under - powered. Most of the buyers are not getting attracted towards Jeep Compass for obvious reasons. Skoda needs to really take a U turn in it's strategy for India, keeping the customer base in mind.

I had driven this car on a 700 kms trip, It was a wonderful experience. The ease to manage this huge vehicle in tight space is just a cakewalk with the all-round parking sensors and big mirrors/ windscreen. On the highway, this cruises so effortlessly drives like a petrol sedan. Quite silent engines. With a never-ending list of features. Though not the quickest as expected at the price point of 40 +. But this would be the car for self-drive. Way better then Fortuner is self-driving is preferred.

Dealers and service center experience was great! Riding experience is also great! The quality of the parts used is disastrous when compared to 42 lakhs paid for the vehicle. Got the break pads damaged within 6 months from the date of purchase, whereas my previous vehicles (again by Volkswagon) lasted for over 40000 kms. The dealers helped to cover that under warranty, though wasted my time n theirs due to the poor quality stuff. Writing this review since on the 15 month of purchase now I have the battery going down, which is disastrous and shows the quality of spares used in this car. Heard like others also with usage of just over an year had the same complaint. Not sure why a brand like Skoda is using such cheap spare parts for this kind of a premium model of their make in India

The kodiaq is a Fantastic car the showroom gave us a very good service and even the car is a very good. The car can be compared with an Audi Q7 or a Mercedes Benz GLS or Even a BMW X5. I would suggest you buy the car without even thinking!

The best ever perfect suv by skoda, driving in all condition mode which makes me feel comfortable & dreaming what i want to be. So Guys if you are looking forward to purchase this amazing suv you can go on. Better mileage better performance better comfortable. This is what i say all in one. SKODA KODIAQ
