Excellence of german engineering

The SK-LK is definitely a fun car to drive. Its peppy engine is a real thrill to drive in close traffic as well on highways. Our family instantly liked it. We've driven a close to 2500 KMS over the past 2 months.

Clean lean thrilling Machine

The buying experience from Jeep was great and the car was great too. I have driven it for more than 5k kilometers the performance of the engine is good. The driving experience was great. The service is Lil bit of expensive

Skoda Kodiaq: 2021 CarWale Off-Road Day

By Vikrant Singh16 Mar 2022

This year, the CarWale Off-Road Day is more 4H than 4L; it’s more gravel and dust and mud mounds, instead of rocks and ruts and slush. It’s a much better fit for the Kodiaq in our opinion.
