Unlike the abominable snowman this is very real!!

 

Exterior Great product from Skoda - excellent paint job, really cute to look at.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) A little cheap for something that is 20L on the road. Noise level is very low and the diesel roar is hardly audible with the windows closed. I would have liked a louder horn - to get the folks out of the way in crazy Bangalore traffic.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Small turbo lag, would have liked a V6 (Like the Suzuki Vitara).

 

Ride Quality & Handling Very unlike a typical SUV - this is a highly refined vehicle, more like a car. I think this is closer to the Xtrail. Toyota Fortuner is horrible in comparison.

 

Final Words Another winner from Skoda. My biggest concern is the poor quality of dealers. I don't know why Skoda does not choose better ones. Most of the ones I have encountered have no idea about customer service.

 

Areas of improvement Better ground clearance would be good for offroad use. But this car SHOULD NOT BE USE OFF ROAD!! Calling this an SUV is a misnomer.

 

Small and fuel efficientPoor ground clearance, does look a little dainty
