This car has something I've always pondered on how to do myself, placing an inconspicuous trash bag in a car. Most European companies spend time on better engineering the engine/drivetrain/suspension, but this is just a completely different approach to being 'luxurious'. Volvo and Range Rovers have this skill too- of being more thoughtful. Reminds me of the Tesla Model X gullwing door mechanism, sheer brilliance (and a touch of madness)

[@aakasht6109]

Skoda my fvrt car brand in India , it is not just make great German cars but also keeps there class apart from cheap Japanese n korians cars ...kodiaq will be surely winner against endeavor n Fortuner ever it has 40% smaller engine ..it looks classy like q7 n its solid built . Price should be competitive....👍👍👍😊👍👍👍😊

[@Tokyodrift786]

Aakash Thorat Not that cheap man!!! They are much more reliable and very practical compared to complicated European rivals!!!

[@prudhviraj6416]

Kodiaq winner against Endeavour & Fortuner ???? 🤦🤦🤦 Man r u okay ???? Kodiaq though had a 4×4 its not an off-roader by any means ..... Its just a crossover / softroader with milf off-road ability and not an SUV to compare with the other two ...... This is not even a comparison to the other two ....

[@susmitmhabdi4269]

Renuka Kriplani's autocar videos are The Best!! 🙌 Her descriptions are the only one which do the car justice. Also the Kodaiq ❤️

[@Exceltrainingvideos]

Thanks for sharing. Very informative.

[@kumaryr1]

Kodiaq is here to stay. Clever engineering, Plush interiors, Minute detailing like the door side rubbers make it a good choice. Skoda price it agressively and it will be a winner for sure.

[@himanshusaxena5691]

Thnx for the quality review.

[@oomerchoughuley1]

does this car come in 2 options( 5/7 seater)? I think I have seen Kodiaq in muscat but a 5 seater.

[@kaihtheloner]

An excellent review by Autocar as always. Checked out the PD review, lots of flashiness and not much info. This is much more detailed

[@varunprasadathi1161]

We just took delivery of this beauty and it is so good!

[@Retrodaydream]

Varunprasad Athi how’s its been treating you? Mine comes tomorrow!!

[@garvityadav5547]

@@Retrodaydream congrats man 🎉🎉

[@mislead1070]

Pls share your experience dude??? And i think you would also be thoughtful of buying the Skoda Kodiaq as the Fortuner, Alturas G4, Endeavour, and the Carnival were in the competition!!!

[@pranav1709]

The Kodiaq is expected to be priced alongside the Fortuner and Endeavour. In front of those 2, the 2 litre 150hp engine is inadequate and lack of hardcore offroading gear and low ratio will also limit its appeal. It might sell a few limited quantities in the big cities but i doubt it will do too well in india. Unless of course Skoda prices it very aggressively.

[@mr.perfect289]

Such an Awesome Car, Simply Clever, Skoda !!

[@paterson3593]

I have seen you guys last week..... @kovalam

[@rajlovinglife]

very ergonomic well sorted suv , and practical too with all the bells and whistles.......hope it comes at a good price.......

[@richardjeremiadoss9757]

Its a really good car.....but pricing it is tricky. Its too premium to be compared with Endevour or Fortuner at the same time less powerful to be compared with Q7, Range rover or BMW X series.....I believe skoda will price it between 35 to 40L. For me...if I have to go for a underpowered vehicle for 40L I would definitely think twice. Instead Karoq would be a better option....Lets see if its worth the wait...!!!

[@ashishsingh7018]

When will Skoda launch top spec petrol variant of kodiaq with l&k in india???

[@uzplays6314]

fantastic review thank you

[@chinmayrajpure4337]

It looks like range Rover from front and mix of BMW X3 and superb from rear

[@akif5903]

Skoda makes good cars but after sales service, expensive maintenance and dealer behaviour make a poor show

[@samuelmariasebastine1773]

can we rise the ground clearence ?

[@drsafvana]

Is Auto transmission is available in this model and wot is its cost

[@22b_gc8]

Was this shot in kerala

[@SagarChaudhary2006]

I m a proud Kodiaq owner, it’s a beautiful car it has few problems. 1) Last Seats have no space for big size fellas. Bad for long journey 2) Sucks at off-roading specifically in UP & Haryana 3) Power is comparatively low than endeavour and fortuner. P.S it’s a city car not meant for off-roading and long journey

[@i103772]

Does it have ventilated front seats like the superb?

[@sachinmb6479]

Wow! Kerala again. Nice

[@aniketb.2211]

absolutely fantastic.. I am a big fan of fortuner from the time it launched, but I think this SUV is going to give tough fight to fortuner if priced appropriately.

[@vinay6188]

I like autocars reviewsof cars, on different different locations around India

[@dipeenverma76]

Hi team, Can we have a video on Skoda Koraq (Jeep Compass killer).

[@anmolgirap2446]

[@rakesharaga120]

Packed with lot of features!

[@sagarchate]

I just wonder why Skoda kodiaq does not come with 360 degree camera parking system. Any answers AUTOCAR India?

[@amriksingh1731]

Kodiaq looks gorgeous 👌👌

[@Ishan6661]

Skoda Superb & Kodiaq are impossible to beat in their segment.

[@vinishshetty8055]

Can the rare seats be reclined back?

[@gautamn08]

Trivandrum :)

[@blackcobra1821]

Ente naadu tvm.Love to see you here in kerala

[@sumanthraj2333]

[@mohammednihal.h9448]

Great job skoda simply clever fan of skoda

[@corporatelifestylebyriaz]

looks like an all-rounder..Hope this time they won't go wrong with the pricing just like Tiguan

[@yvrao3166]

@Renuka going through this and some of the recent past reviews, I feel you are doing adequate research on the vehicle before your review!

[@nikhilkhedekar6506]

what would b d price??

[@sarwoski1]

Simply Ravishing 👌

[@RMS001]

Plz make a comparison between endeavour and kodiaq in comprehensive manner and plz give one winner

[@danishkhan287]

This car is awesome .. only worry is after sales service and maintenance cost ..

[@parthedits1620]

skoda is really improving nice car

[@gowthamavvaru2359]

Is there petrol option in this model

[@Tgkay007]

42 lakhs onroad kerala. Nice car. pricey though. But German cars always have enough features to justify their pricing.

[@bhadreshvyas1656]

Skoda kodiyak when new version release in India in 2020 petrol its exited strong good car Suv if it will be highted look front

[@Rajupkd]

Simply wow wow wow I saw it from service centre during my Skoda service had a touch and feel. It's an amazing car but a bit overpriced.and the background " my Kerala "

[@uzplays6314]

please do a review on ford endeavour 2016

[@akshatmishra311]

Loving the new interior

[@ashishpandya1172]

SKODA..un doubtable WINNER.......

[@saaamaak]

Wonder why the third row of seats couldn't be made to slide back, if there were no luggage

[@RahulKumar-ey8ib]

Hey, those interiors are identical to endeavour's, no?

[@sj17_]

Could easily be a game changer if skoda price it smartly.... a PROPER ful size 7 seater Luxury SUV

[@auslinasirtn-7434]

Ride near Kovalam beach at Trivandrum

[@nabeelahamed9828]

Welcome to Kerala

[@aloksa2587]

The vehicle looks and performs well ..however the low network of skoda dealership is a major concern .Even the Jeep got equal or more number of dealership network.Skoda are you listening?

[@manojputhran4477]

best brand for luxury, elegence & value for money

[@pratikjangir4536]

Plzz make a full review video on G class

[@amimahmad9699]

Nice car.. should pe priced below fortuner/endeavour.. As Jeep compass has changed market dynamics.

[@sdc7173]

Please make a comparison of KodiaQ vs ENDEAVOUR vs FortuneR vs MUX... Please make it... It will be an interesting thing to watch!!

[@krishnasonwane5448]

I Will definetly buy this car !!!

[@musanoj8323]

[@sakthiprasad2530]

I missed the kodiaq on the NH47 by one day

[@selfmade9619]

Hats off to skoda👍👍👍👍

[@v_shanker]

Yeah! Tiguan is here already so obviously Kodiaq should come. :P

[@shampasaraf2352]

nice suv i like its flashlight

[@rocker66655]

You guys must add the names of the places , it makes the video more informative and interesting.

[@CheckonRoadPrice]

Completely Premium SUV to be priced between 25 - 35 Lakh Just like its distant cousin Volkswagen Tiguan, which also happens to be a competitor to the Kodiaq, Skoda aims to cater the growing demand of premium SUVs in India.

[@nabeelahamed9828]

All auto journalist coming for test drive at kerala

[@KushagraGondhali]

Please make a video on Škoda Kodiaq vs Jeep Compass

[@khalidmulla4457]

Great review

[@kaushikalluri]

Which is the best SUV between 30 lacs and 75 lacs with on road

[@varunjain1637]

Maybe your best review yet. :)

[@TopCarsChannel]

wow, amazing cars

[@sanketdesai82]

Speculative price of it?

[@SushVohra]

Well unlike others this one sure does look like a Premium SUV.

[@rck399]

Isn’t the 190bhp version hitting Indian shores ?

[@jikkuabraham6243]

Kerala Rocks, Awesome and Scenic

[@balsara675]

Just fantastic

[@berliemonmoses8093]

Hey I saw u guys making this video

[@harishgonthina7696]

No doubt, Kodiaq is definitely a handsome looking and well equipped SUV. Yet, in my honest opinion it is a tad underpowered when compared with its chief competitors, Fortuner and Endeavour.

[@jayeshdamle3199]

Excellent!☺☺😘

[@samuelmariasebastine1773]

what is the price?

[@lalis3172]

Skoda's ASS (After Sale Service) is infamous ! There cars are always good but dont last long in India conditions.

[@sudiptomajumdar4210]

My Skoda Octavia is as old as the mountain. Skoda are built like tank. Some parts like belts and door locks are fragile. But most of their cars can outlive small pets.

[@raghavanantha9479]

please can you compare it with ford endeavour

[@samuelmariasebastine1773]

This is a awesome car

[@samuelmariasebastine1773]

kodiaq back tail gate looks like bmw x5

[@Atulsinghsainger]

Great car if priced right.

[@KrishnaKumar-jz9xe]

mmde trivandrum and Kovalam :)

[@blitzboy227]

So all the reviewers were called to trivandrum, given MH 20 EJ xxxx kodiaq cars? I've seen you guys roaming nh66 with two kodiaq, 1 superb, 1 octavia and an old a** yeti. :D

[@kumaranandraj269]

Hats off to skoda engineers and designers....Maruti should learn something...Only they know is mileage.

[@ajsarhisan5910]
