Skoda Kodiaq

Among all the cars currently on sale in India, my favourite is the Skoda Kodiaq. It beautifully blends luxury, performance, practicality, and European build quality into a package that's hard to match in its segment. In a market crowded with feature-heavy but characterless SUVs, the Kodiaq stands out as a true all-rounder for the discerning enthusiast. What I admire most about the Kodiaq is its refined 2.0 TSI engine mated to a 7-speed DSG gearbox, which delivers a smooth yet responsive driving experience. It may be a large SUV, but it handles with the poise and sharpness of a well-sorted sedan. The all-wheel-drive system adds a layer of confidence, making it equally capable on long highway drives, rough rural roads, or even hilly terrain during monsoons. The interior is a highlight it's elegant, minimalistic, and thoughtfully designed, with high-quality materials and excellent ergoNomics. It doesn't scream for attention, yet it quietly exudes class. The Virtual Cockpit, Canton sound system, paNoramic sunroof, and powered seats all enhance comfort and convenience without overwhelming the driving experience with unnecessary tech gimmicks.

No car is perfect. But I have quite a few cars which I admire. If I want to choose one among them then I'd say Skoda Kodiaq. It's a perfectly balanced car. Good comfort, powerful engine, Quick Transmission (DSG), Solidly built, Best paint quality. I know this is an underrated car and may not be the best value for money and may be overshadowed by Toyota Fortuner in sales in this segment but If I'm looking for a car in this segment then I'll choose this for a classy pick. Some cons like scarce service points and Slightly less tolerable engines and transmission (compared to Japanese but with good and timely maintenance this shouldn't be a bother) and higher costs for some parts.

Really admire the Skoda Kodiaq for its perfect balance of performance, comfort, and European refinement. It offers a premium, well-built interior, smooth driving dynamics, and a host of practical features making it ideal for both family use and long highway drives. Unlike many other SUVs in its segment, it feels more like a luxury vehicle than just a rugged utility car. It represents understated elegance, and that's what I appreciate the most.
