Drove a few feet through 12 inches of water and the car engine locked up. Insurance wont cover it and the company wants 15 lakhs to repair it. I am told that the air intake into the engine is placed way down which is obviously a design defect considering road conditions in India during monsoons.

Buying experience was good. Got the car within few days and went for a drive and the car performed brilliantly well. Around corners it's absolutely surefooted and composed. Doesn't feel it's 1800 kgms at all. Super agile and easy to drive. Mileage is also good. Gearbox is the best in segment. Super quick. Also the front and the 2nd row is absolutely comfortable and the space is abundant. The seats are wide and supportive. You won't be tired after a long journey. The power output on paper sounds little less but out on the road, flat out, it is wonderful. You can just zip through lanes. Safety wise it's 5 star euro n-cap car and has loads of active and passive safety features. It has 9 air bags which just makes you feel safe. Features are in abundance, smart and clever features like umbrellas, boot torch, door edge protectors come in handy. Actually on rainy days, I don't even carry an umbrella because the car has it and the slot is again intelligent as it can drain the water and your Suv remains clean. As far as looks are concerned, it looks so classy and the design language, like the superb, is underrated yet elegant. Regarding servicing, I have only one service done, and I have nothing to complain about. Fantastic car. It is actually quicker to 100 km/r than the Endeavour and Fortuner. I would highly recommend one. All in all it's indestructible and feels it's a segment above.

IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE DRIVING A AUDI, BMW OR A BENZ SUV . I CALL MY KODIAQ A BABY RANGE ROVER AND A CHAMPION BY BIRTH. IT HAS MANY PROS BUT LITTLE CONS ONE SUCH IS MUSIC SYSTEM. IF SKODA COULD HAVE GONE WITH BOSE OF WILKINS, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST. ANYWAYS CANTON IS A GUD ONE BUT DOES NOT MATCH MY EXPECTATION.

Exceeded expectations overall. Yes, there are minor glitches like the sun roof motor just started vibrating but that is covered under the 4 yr/1 lakh km warranty, hence not worried. At the time of ignition, there's a little resistance at the brake pedal. Front camera malfunction. However, these are minor problems whereas the overall experience is glorious. First service was done before 15000 kms. The car continues to glide smoothly, great mileage of 17 kms on the highway at 100 mph. The sport option allows the engine to become a beast by infusing power. But mostly I drive in normal mode. Air Conditioning is working fine. Good suspension system. I like the build quality. The doors are solid. No rattling whatsoever. Treat the car well and you'll be a happy customer. I love the music system. I love the foot swipe to open and shut the boot, especially more in the times of Corona. The neck support in the rear seats are an amazing feature. The front seats are ergonomically designed. The technology in the infotainment system is good. Though I would have liked the Android or Apple car play system to function via bluetooth rather than USB port. The other improvement area is the finish and look of the arm rest area and the seats. That would make the Kodiak L&K simply perfect.
