Skoda 2025 Kodiaq vs Mercedes-Benz S-Class 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 Mercedes-Benz S-Class has always been one of the more popular options in the luxury space, specially when it comes to saloons. It is loaded with luxury and new-age tech has kept the car in tune with the changing times. Along with great comfort and luxury the car also gets powerful engines that makes it fun to drive. Expensive you say? Yes we partly agree.
