Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Volkswagen Golf GTI

- The 2-litre TSI engine making 265 PS and 370 Nm offers an exhilarating performance and its goes from 0-100kmph in just 5.9 seconds
- Handles like a pro and feels like it's hugging the road while cornering, which further inspires confidence and elevates your drive experience.
Skoda Kodiaq
- The new design looks premium and feels fresh.
- Feels luxurious inside with soft-touch materials, big screens, and a 13-speaker CANTON sound system.
- The 2-litre turbo-petrol engine is fairly brisk in terms of acceleration.
- The 7-seater layout is spacious and comfortable for 5 adults plus 2 kids seating.
- The boot offers 281 litres of storage, which is expandable up to 1976 litres when second and third rows are folded.

Volkswagen Golf GTI
- While the cabin does have soft touch materials, the plastics feel rough and do not feel right in this cabin. Not expected at this price point.
- It misses out on some features like leatherette seats, powered seats, and a branded sound system, all which are offered in much affordable cars.
Skoda Kodiaq
- No ADAS on offer. Not acceptable at this price point.
- Currently available only with a petrol engine, lacking diesel or hybrid alternatives.
- 3rd row isn’t comfortable for adults.
- Sportline variant misses some important features like Hill Start Assist, Seat Ventillation and 360-degree camera, which is surprising at this price point which is surprising at this price
