Maserati Levante vs Skoda 2025 Kodiaq Comparison

There’s no doubt that the Maserati Levante GT Hybrid is a beautiful piece of machinery. It's got brilliant handling and ride quality that counts for more as a daily driver. While it may look like a mild facelift from the outside, underneath the Levante Hybrid GT is anything but one. This car will also pave way for the upcoming cars from the Italian marquee as it prepares to electrify its range by the end of this decade. But all said and done, the Maserati Levante GT Hybrid is a superb-looking SUV regardless of what’s under the bonnet.

The Skoda Kodiaq remains a premium family SUV that focuses on comfort, practicality, and a refined driving experience. We evaluated its overall package and found that the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine paired with a DSG automatic gearbox and standard all-wheel drive delivers smooth and effortless performance. The ride quality also stands out, as the suspension comfortably absorbs rough roads while keeping passengers relaxed.

Inside, the cabin feels modern and well-equipped with a 13-inch touchscreen, digital driver’s display, Smart Dials, and a 13-speaker Canton sound system. Rear passengers benefit from good seat support and their own climate controls, while Skoda’s ‘Simply Clever’ storage solutions add everyday practicality. The Kodiaq’s overall balance of comfort, features, and practicality makes it a strong option for buyers looking for a premium three-row family SUV.

Seshan concludes,

“It will be interesting to see if the new Kodiaq can replicate the success of the previous generation in India.”
