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.”

Pros Cons of BMW X1

Pros

  • Feels larger than segment
  • Strong diesel torque advantage
  • Engaging BMW steering feel
  • Premium curved display setup
  • Competitive luxury pricing

Cons

  • Slightly firm ride quality
  • Rear middle seat compromised
  • Diesel only in top trim
  • Petrol lacks strong punch

Verdict

The BMW X1 is no longer the “starter BMW” you buy just to enter the brand. It feels confident, bigger, and far more complete than before. From its stronger road presence to its punchy diesel engine and engaging steering, it finally carries the weight of the badge properly. Yes, the ride is slightly firm, and the rear middle seat isn’t perfect. But if you enjoy driving and want a premium SUV that feels mature without becoming boring, the X1 makes a strong case. It balances luxury, performance, and everyday usability in a way that feels smart and modern.

As Shams Raza Naqvi puts it, “The new X1 has adapted well to today’s times.”

And that’s exactly it — the BMW X1 has finally grown into its badge.

Best For

  • Urban premium SUV buyers
  • Diesel-loving luxury drivers
  • Young executives upgrading
  • Drivers who enjoy steering feel

Not Ideal For

  • Soft suspension seekers
  • Budget-focused buyers
  • Rear seat priority users
  • Flashy luxury hunters
