Pros Cons of Mahindra XUV300

Pros

  • The 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine delivers an impressive 128 bhp and 230 Nm of torque, making it the most powerful subcompact SUV in India.
  • It features an overboost function that provides an extra 20 Nm of torque for short bursts, enhancing overtaking capabilities and overall performance.
  • The suspension system is well-tuned, providing a smooth ride over rough roads, and the car maintains stability even at high speed

Cons

  • There is noticeable turbo lag, especially during initial acceleration, which can make city driving feel less responsive.
  • The long gear throws and clutch travel can feel cumbersome, especially in heavy traffic, reducing driving comfort.
  • The cabin lacks key modern features like wireless charging, wireless smartphone integration, and ventilated seats, which are now common in competitors.

Verdict

The Mahindra XUV300 TurboSport offers an exhilarating driving experience, thanks to its powerful engine and impressive performance features. While it has some downsides, such as turbo lag and missing cabin tech, it remains a compelling choice for those seeking a sporty, performance-oriented subcompact SUV. With competitive pricing and solid road performance, it’s a great option for buyers who prioritize power and driving dynamics over additional features.

Pros Cons of Skoda Kodiaq

Pros

  • Refined 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with DSG and AWD
  • Premium cabin with 13-inch infotainment and Smart Dials
  • Comfortable ride over rough city roads
  • Practical three-row layout with clever storage

Cons

  • The third row is best suited for children
  • Boot space is limited with all three rows in use
  • No diesel engine option available

Verdict

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.”
