I own 2018 Kodiaq and wow everyday whenever I look at it I simply love it. U can’t feel the vibes of this car until u own it. Even my driver is not allowed to drive it he only cleans it and drive my dad’s virtus. At this price point there is no car in Indian market to match this product. Stil people are scared of skoda vw because of their past history. Now service here in jalandhar Krishna auto has been improved drastically. So love your video dear. Excellent point of creaking door handles in summer is my only complaint. In winter these only feel rock solid. This diesel though 150 bhp on paper is a beast on highway in sports mode never let me down. Thanks for this wonderful video. ❤

How much ever you type about the good things, at the end of the day it is a skoda and cannot offer what a Toyota offers. If you ask me, i would say there is not even one point where the Kodiaq is better than Fortuner. I don't know why your driver is not allowed to drive the Kodiaq. 😂

Only a person who has owned a VAG vehicle will be able to really appreciate this vehicle. Rest all feel these are all luxury vehicles and out of their budget. This car in the preowned market can be acquired easily less than 20 lakhs. But yes it has to be a very clean car and will surely serve you well over the years. I still love the passat B7 video you made with Munish Ji. Such testaments reassure people like me who want to find these jewels and have fun with them. Paaji, keep up the good work and keep bringing more of these underrated cars. It would be great if the owner was available to share the ownership experience and cost associated in maintenance of this vehicle.

My Tiguan 2023 has creaking door handles too. They look exactly the same as this and its the silver plastic at the end that makes that sound, especially noticeable in summer as you mentioned. Apart from this the other nitpick is that the driver seat adjustment buttons are extremely cheap and loose, feel like a chinese toy button, almost as if installed aftermarket. No other complaints in build quality.

I own Tiguan allspace .. I love the product but hate when it comes to like service centre Jana padega real world things by my experiences Germans had done their work wonderfully but the Indian people at service centre can’t fix a single thing in your car .. coz the car contains that much level of technology they don’t have people with enough knowledge here at service centre Ahmedabad I love to drive it Enjoy the comfort… Not a single product in the market at this price point can touch its performance and drivability also the touch to detail things.. but sometimes 1)the AC stops functioning for while and starts randomly and you can’t go to service centre coz u feel If they will open my dashboard they will end up with giving me noisy fix as my past experience with doors .. the noise increased after they tried to fix it, 2) many tiguan petrol makes noise crashing noise while changing gear I have video of that .. service centre said that don’t worry about it who to aayega it’s common I am like to jab car nayi thi tab to Nahi as raha tha.. why can’t u people make it like that 3) sometimes it takes 15 days at service centre for little fixes and it’s not like ke unke pas parts nahi hai they just don’t work idk if they are understaffed or something 4)they can’t even fix my headlight which is throwing downward and I have really bad visibility because of service centre in a 42 lack car they can’t even fix front assist and lane keep assistance in 10 15 days .. Sometimes I wonder ke kash Toyota hi le li hoti But the moment I start Driving the car I forget all the bad experiences and start loving it immediately…

My mama staying in Mumbai has the exact same model (2018 L&K). He's maintained it really well and car has aged like fine wine. It's a top notch product. Overall ride comfort is a class apart 👌. Someone looking for an SUV in the 50 lakhs segment, you cannot skip this especially if you aren't going to go off road. Fortuner on the other hand is built specifically for rough use/extreme off roading. But unfortunately, people are using it for a different purpose 🤦‍♂️.

It's disappointing to see informed influencers like you refer to VW 2.0 cars as a cost-cutting measure and compare them to the Rapid and Polo. In multiple videos, you’ve acknowledged that cars like the Polo, Rapid, Vento, and Fabia were imported to India as CKDs and sold at a loss due to significant discounts by VW Group. Without those discounts, these cars would have been priced similarly to the current VW 2.0 models, and considering inflation, their prices would have only increased. The VW 1.0 cars were manufactured in top-tier European facilities and imported as is. In contrast, VW 2.0 cars are locally manufactured in a new facility in India, with most parts sourced locally. Let’s look at what VW 2.0 cars offer: a chassis with structural integrity that scores full ratings in GNCAP and LNCAP, turbocharged engines tuned for both performance and fuel efficiency, best-in-segment braking, steering, driving dynamics, and ride comfort. They also boast best-in-segment paint quality, NVH levels, active and passive safety features, headlights, wheelbase offering the most legroom in this segment, and an agile design with a great drag coefficient. Additionally, they come with a long list of useful in-cabin features. Yet, KZfaq is buzzing not about these qualities but about the lack of more soft-touch materials in the cabin, ignoring that these materials do not withstand India’s harsh and extreme temperatures and are not durable in the long run. Some influencers claim that the chassis is lighter and not as robust as the Rapid and Polo. However, the chassis has scored full crash test ratings, proving its strength. Advances in technology and metallurgy have made it possible to manufacture lighter yet stronger chassis. With increasingly stringent emission norms, manufacturers must balance performance and fuel efficiency. VW 2.0 cars have achieved this balance better than any other car in this segment. Critics mention the lack of ADAS in VW 2.0 cars, a feature that is mostly unnecessary in Indian conditions and often a marketing gimmick that drives up costs. They also point out the absence of a 360-degree camera, which is not essential in a car of this size. While some criticize the design for not being tall and imposing, agility, speed, and sharpness-qualities of a panther or cheetah-are more desirable. So, where is the cost-cutting, and compared to what?

@SunderdeepSingh Ай бұрын

Aprit Ji, older cars were Indian made with some parts sourced from Europe, especially plastics. They were running at losses because of the less sales which result in expenses in production and not because of the production cost per product alone. In their current gen cars, in 2020 particularly they preferred some bad vendors and the people who took such decisions have left the company now. VW particularly has fixed everything gradually and you can check that in my latest Taigun BQA video as well. However, there are some glaring flaws still which result in rattling, AC vent knobs are so cheap, handbrake is plastic instead of rubbery. The competition has upped their game big time and it is important to call a spade a spade. We cannot just highlight the positives alone.
