Is the Skoda Kodiaq a premium worth the extra outlay over mainstream SUVs?
by Ashutoshover 1 year ago0 views7 comments
In the market, the Skoda Kodiaq sits in an interesting spot; it is priced above popular SUVs like the Hyundai Creta or Kia Seltos, but below luxury SUVs from BMW or Audi. The mix of premium features, European styling and a spacious 7 seat layout is what it offers. It’s more expensive than mainstream options, however. There are those who think it's overpriced for what you get, there are others who argue build quality, driving dynamics and brand cachet justify the cost. Much of the debate revolves around whether the Kodiaq provides enough value to fill the gap between mass market and luxury segments or whether buyers would be better off saving money with a mainstream brand or stretching a budget for a genuine luxury nameplate.

I believe people underestimate the power of good engineering. The chassis tuning and overall driving experience is a cut above a mainstream option, and while the Kodiaq lacks the bells and whistles of a luxury SUV, it’s the best of those mainstream models.

I've had the Kodiaq for two years now and I would say it’s worth every penny. It's very hard to beat the space, the comfort, the package. Plus, it’s a little off the radar – you get luxury but not too flashy.

It's a tough call. There is nothing wrong with the Kodiaq being nice, but you're in that weird place in the middle. I test drove one and loved it, but ultimately went with a base model BMW X1. It just carries more weight.

I honestly think it's overpriced for what it is. You’re paying a premium for the Skoda badge, which doesn’t carry the same cache as real luxury brands. For less, you could get a fully loaded Tata Harrier or MG Hector.

I’ve owned a Hyundai Tucson, and now a Kodiaq, and the difference is obvious. It’s just more substantial, more refined. It’s not just about features, but how everything fits together.

It depends on what you’re looking for I’d say. It’s a practical family hauler with a few nice touches if that’s what you’re after. If you’re looking for real luxury and prestige, though, you’d be better off saving for an entry BMW or Audi.

Absolutely worth it. Without the crazy luxury car price tag, the Kodiaq feels like a proper premium product. Build quality is top notch and you get features like the virtual cockpit you’d normally only see in much more expensive cars.
