Skoda 2025 Kodiaq vs BMW X4 Comparison

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.”

The BMW X4's pricing begins at ₹60.60 lakh, extending up to ₹65.90 lakh for the formidable 3.0-litre straight-six diesel variant. This model is an attractive alternative for those in the market for a mid-size SUV and find the X3 less appealing. While there are more engaging BMW SUVs in terms of driving dynamics, the X4 distinguishes itself with its coupe-like aesthetics and commanding presence, factors potent enough to make a compelling case for potential buyers.
