BMW X6 vs Skoda 2025 Kodiaq Comparison

The new BMW X6 presents a competitive edge in the market, offering two distinct trims with varied standard equipment and features at the same price point. This strategic positioning gives it a substantial advantage over its contemporaries and forthcoming rivals, such as the Audi Q8, Porsche Cayenne Coupé, and Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupé. However, it's worth noting that customizing the X6 with optional add-ons could elevate the final cost to over the ₹1 Crore threshold.

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.

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