The 2022 Skoda Kodiaq facelift has taken some time to come to India but now that it's here, we finally get to see it in person and drive it to find out what all has changed!
We spent some time with the Skoda Kodiaq Scout, taking on dusty trails and light off-road terrain. The Kodiaq Scout is an off-road oriented variant of the Scout and we try and find out whether it makes sense to buy one.
Skoda's flagship SUV - the Kodiaq - made its India debut in 2017 and since then has been one of the strong competitors in the full size SUV segment in the country. It has been a winner, when it went up against the new generation of the Honda CR-V. When we compared it with the Honda CR-V we said that the Kodiaq lacked a bit of flashiness; and that's because the CR-V brought a lot of bling to the table. But no matter, it looks like Skoda has heard what we said, because it decided that it needed to Jazz up the SUV and brought in the Laurin and Klement variant of the car. First introduced at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show , the SUV made its way to the country in November 2018 and since then, we've been waiting to get our hands on it
The Skoda Kodiaq is the automaker's first ever full size SUV to India and we got an opportunity to spend some time behind the wheel. Is it capable of taking on the mighty Toyota Fortuner and Ford Endeavour? Here's is how it felt.
The Skoda Kodiaq is the Czech carmaker's big bet as it aims at rapidly increasing volumes in existing and new markets worldwide. And why not, after all SUVs and compact SUVs with a crossover flavour are the 'it' segment and see much higher growth (and margins) than industry averages. This is of course just as true in India too, and which is why the Kodiaq becomes very important for us - and indeed Skoda India too!

Scout(Diesel)
I've 2021 model of Kodiaq however it's none of the listed models here. It's a European SEL varient TSI 1.5 automatic DSG petrol. I'm not sure if this model is in India yet. Since I drive mainly in the London, car has enough power. It's snappy , quiet and quick specially on motorways. Interior is superb and tons of features. No noise in the cabin. Automatic heated seats and front glass are best! Infotainment is great . My only complaint is, I can't search navigation by postcode.for some reason. I chose Kodiaq over Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Merc GLC. All others offers the same but at much higher price. Kodiaq is fun and I'm enjoying every bit of it.

Well, if you are in the market for a full blown SUV, then Kodaiq may not fit your bill.
But if you want to graduate from a Sedan to something which feels firmer and roomier, yet you dont lose out on the luxury quotient of a Sedan.. then Kodaiq is a Tremondous buy.
I have been an SUV guy for Last 13 years and had a bent towards moving to a sedan for my next car, but wasnt sure. I Test drove Kodiaq .. and was delighted to find just exactly what I was looking for...
A strong and Sturdy ride and plush interiors that match the Price Tag ,, a class leading infotainment system and uber cool Panaromic Sun roof.. steering is super light and engine is very nimble, navigating through city traffic with an immaculate automatic gear box is a breeze. Excellent pick up and great mileage.. cant ask for more now can you??
