Hi, my main use will be in Bangalore city. My everyday running is about 20 km, and I am looking for an SUV. I am very confused between the Legender and the Kodiaq. Please help.
Given that your usage is primarily within Bangalore city, the Skoda Kodiaq is easily the better choice for you. It's got the lighter steering, tighter turning radius and is generally easier to drive and park. The Skoda also delivers far better ride comfort and refinement, and a more polished experience on the whole. A well-finished and feature-loaded cabin also makes the Kodiaq the better choice.
The Toyota Fortuner does have greater road presence, reliability is excellent, and it's also the one with the better (still not great) third row seating. However, the Fortuner's key highlight is its off-road ability and durability that comes through over rugged use. For a city vehicle, though, it comes across as crude and unwieldy.

I’ve recently booked a Volkswagen Tiguan because I’m getting a very aggressive deal of around ₹45 lakh on-road. However, I’ve started liking the Skoda Kodiaq as well, which would cost me about ₹53 lakh on-road. My usage is mostly city traffic driving with occasional highway trips. Usually there are 4 people in the car and sometimes 5. The complication is that I’ve already confirmed the Tiguan booking via email and if I cancel it now I might lose around ₹2.5 lakh. Given the effective price difference (around ₹10.5 lakh when considering the cancellation loss), would the Kodiaq still be worth considering over the Tiguan? Or is it more sensible to stick with the Tiguan? My priorities are comfort in traffic, good rear seat comfort for family use, and long-term ownership satisfaction.
The Volkswagen Tiguan and Skoda Kodiaq are essentially the same SUV underneath, with the same engine, gearbox and chassis. It's just that the 5-seat Tiguan R-Line is a little smaller; something that's addressed by the recently launched Volkswagen Tayron. As such, given your requirements and usage, you should stick with the Tiguan as it is too good a deal to pass up. And for what it's worth, the Tiguan is a full CBU import, while the Kodiaq is locally assembled, but moreover, there are some feature differences between the two - the Volkswagen gets ADAS, adaptive dampers and a larger 15-inch screen, while the Skoda gets powered and ventilated front seats, rear window blinds and a 360-degree camera. The biggest difference is that the Kodiaq offers third row of seats, but they're not very spacious, and since you mostly travel with four passengers, it's better to use that space for luggage anyway - the VW loses about 130 litres to the Skoda (in 5-seat mode) but they're both very spacious. With regards to your priorities of comfort in traffic, good rear seat comfort for family use, and long-term ownership satisfaction, the two are virtually the same.

Hi Autocar Team, I am planning to buy a new SUV in 2026 within a budget of ₹30-40 lakh. I want a proper off-road capable vehicle that also works well as a family car. Can we expect the Toyota RAV4 to launch in India in 2026? Please advise.
As of now, Toyota has no concrete plans to bring the Toyota RAV4 to India in 2026 or anytime soon. The challenge is cost. The RAV4 would have to be imported or assembled in small numbers, which would push its price well beyond what most buyers in the Rs 30-40 lakh bracket expect. Also, by Indian standards, it’s not a particularly large SUV, and at that price, buyers here tend to want more size and presence.
Sadly, there’s a bit of a vacuum in the Rs 30-40 lakh space, and in this range, your more practical choices are SUVs like the Mahindra XUV7XO and the Tata Harrier. Both are spacious, comfortable for family use, and capable on bad roads.
If you can stretch closer to Rs 50 lakh, options like the Skoda Kodiaq and the upcoming Volkswagen Tayron (a more affordable version below the R-Line is expected) are very strong all-rounders with a more premium feel.
Another SUV worth waiting for is the Kia Sorento, which we understand could arrive around the festive season at roughly Rs 40 lakh. That might come closest to what you’re looking for, a proper global SUV with family practicality and some genuine all-road ability.

Hi, I am currently driving a Toyota Fortuner 4x2 AT, and my daily driving is approximately 100km in the city. I want to upgrade to a new car, with a maximum net budget of ₹50 lakh after exchanging my existing car. I am open to both sedan and SUV options. Kindly suggest a suitable option.
A 100km daily city run is quite substantial, and the big, heavy Toyota Fortuner 4x2 AT isn’t really the most convenient or efficient car for that kind of usage. However, since you are used to the toughness and reliability of the Fortuner, a logical upgrade would be to stay within the Toyota family.
The Toyota Innova HyCross in its strong-hybrid guise is a very sensible option. It offers excellent fuel efficiency, which will really help, given your high daily running. At the same time, it retains typical Toyota traits, like a tough build and strong long-term reliability. Compared to the Fortuner, the HyCross has a more practical and spacious cabin, and the top-spec version, which comfortably fits within your Rs 50 lakh net budget, even gets Ottoman recliners in the middle row, adding a real touch of comfort.
If you’d like to explore an SUV outside Toyota, the Skoda Kodiaq is worth considering. It’s a full-size seven-seater with a stronger focus on comfort and luxury, offering a more urbane and premium feel compared to the hardy Toyotas. The Volkswagen Tayron is essentially the same car underneath, with a slightly different interior treatment and character. Both the Kodiaq and Tayron are better suited to urban driving in terms of refinement and comfort, but the Toyota would still edge ahead in terms of efficiency and long-term peace of mind.
You could also consider the Toyota Camry, which would actually be our pick. Sedans inherently offer better ride comfort and handling balance for city use, and the Camry is spacious, extremely comfortable and easy to get in and out of. For your kind of daily driving, it would feel far more relaxed and effortless while still giving you the Toyota reliability you’re accustomed to.

Planning to buy a ₹50 lakh SUV. Should I go for the tried and tested Fortuner or make a plunge for either the VW, Skoda or MG offerings? Which will be a reliable companion for at least 5 to 7 years?
While none of the others has proven quite as reliable as Toyota's long-running SUV, they are all reasonable if driven carefully and maintained according to their manufacturers' schedules. As vehicles, they're all superior to the aged Toyota Fortuner in just about every way, with better space, comfort, tech, refinement, driver enjoyment and ease of use.
They're all on the higher side of Rs 50 lakh, however (including the Fortuner), and you may have to settle for a lower-spec model. Of these, we'd recommend the Skoda Kodiaq, which combines space and refinement with an upmarket interior.

New SUV budget ₹50 lakh. Is the Fortuner being launched in the next couple of months?
The new Fortuner will not be launched until the end of the year and may even spill over into 2027. Hence, you may want to go ahead with the current Toyota Fortuner. Alternatively, if you want something similar, the recently launched MG Majestor, which is also a tough 4x4 with a strong diesel engine, is a good option.
If you want something a bit more refined and not as hardcore, the Skoda Kodiaq is worth looking at too.

Hi! I currently own a BMW M340i, which is 2 years old. I am considering buying an EV for daily and local commuting. I am looking for good design, a great music system and good battery life. Mahindra is already ruled out, as one of my cousins owns one. So I am considering either BYD or MG. If you could suggest any other ICE cars, that would be fine too. My budget is around Rs 30-40 lakh.
If you are looking for a good EV, the BYD Seal is a great option. It is one of the best electric cars in the Rs. 40 lakh range, offering a lot of tech, equipment, and a spacious interior. Performance, too, is very good, which, being a BMW 340i owner, you will appreciate.
The MG ZS EV is a good car, but it's not in the league of the BYD Seal. If the Seal is beyond your budget, the BYD Atto 3, priced between Rs. 27 and 37 lakh, is the next best option. It is not as spacious as the BYD, but it is well-equipped and has a good range.
Sadly, there are not many good ICE vehicles in that price bracket anymore, but the best option for your money is the Skoda Kodiaq, which ranges from Rs. 47-56 lakh.

Want to buy an SUV for around Rs 50 to 60 lakh. Five-seater preferred. Driving dynamics and comfort are priorities. Daily driving of around 40 km.
The Skoda Kodiaq would be your best option given the requirements. It is comfortable and spacious, with plush seats and a well-set-up suspension, and it has all the premium tech and features expected of a premium SUV.
Additionally, the 2.0-litre, 200hp TSI engine offers good power and performance is genuinely impressive given its luxury character. What's also impressive is that despite being a full-size SUV, the dynamics and chassis are impressive. High-speed handling is neat and tidy, while at lower speeds, the light steering makes the large Kodiaq feel quite manoeuvrable and easy to live with. This Skoda car is all-wheel drive, and that means grip in corners is very good.
The other alternative would be the Volkswagen Tayron R-Line, which has similar underpinnings to the Kodiaq. Prices for the Tayron are not out yet, but it is likely to be close to the Kodiaq since they both share a lot in common.

Hi Autocar, I am looking to upgrade from my Kia Seltos to a bigger and more spacious car, preferably a 6 or 7 seater. I have shortlisted a few cars: Mahindra XUV 7XO, Skoda Kodiaq and Volkswagen Tayron. Is it worth paying the premium for the Kodiaq or Tayron over the 7XO? I liked the XUV 7XO in a short test drive. I still need to test drive the Kodiaq. Please give me your opinion on the same. Thank you.
The Mahindra XUV 7XO is a good option for a 6/7-seater SUV. It is spacious, comfortable and has a good feature list. The 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is also quite strong and refined.
The Skoda Kodiaq is a more premium and upmarket SUV that is also very spacious and comfortable, and the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is quite strong, and it also gets all-wheel drive.
The Volkswagen Tayron is similar to the Kodiaq with an upmarket cabin and the same TSI engine. However, the XUV 7XO is extremely well-equipped and has a better ride quality than both the Kodiaq and Tayron. That said, the third row is not as spacious, so if you need the extra seats frequently, the Kodiaq or Tayron will be better.
The XUV's strength lies in its value proposition as it is also a lot more inexpensive in comparison with the top-spec variant, priced almost Rs 25 lakh less than the Kodiaq.

Asked by: Saurabh Vaidyaon Feb 6, 2026
I own a 2011 Vento 1.6 MPI. In a few years, I want to upgrade to a bigger SUV like the Kodiaq, Meridian, or a pre-owned 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan. Which one will be more reliable and offer a peaceful after-sales experience? I live in Pune, so the service network is good for most brands. If buying new, I have the Citroen C3 Aircross in mind.
Finding a genuinely good, sparingly used example of the Jeep Meridian, Skoda Kodiaq, or Volkswagen Tiguan isn’t always easy. These are relatively expensive SUVs, and many owners tend to keep them. If you do find a 2024 model with low kilometres, full service history and no accident record, reliability shouldn’t be a major concern. They’re still relatively new and based on proven platforms and engines.
Between the three, VW and Skoda’s dealer networks tend to be more consistent than Jeep’s when it comes to the aftersales experience. Since you’re in Pune, network strength isn’t a problem, but service attitude and technical depth do matter, especially with turbo-petrol, DSG-equipped European SUVs. On that front, the Kodiaq and Tiguan usually inspire a bit more confidence. Ultimately, though, condition, service history and how the previous owner has treated the car should be your top priority when buying pre-owned.
For peace of mind, you could also explore our partner channel Spinny, which has a good reputation for selling quality pre-owned vehicles that have been inspected and come with warranty support. That reduces risk compared to buying from an unknown individual seller.
If you’re considering a new one instead, the Citroen Aircross is a very different proposition. It’s not in the same league as the Kodiaq or Tiguan in terms of outright performance, cabin plushness or road presence. Performance, too, is not in the same league.
That said, buying new has its own advantages - full warranty, zero history risk and predictable maintenance. If you’re happy with the space and don’t mind that it’s not as premium or powerful as the larger German SUVs, it can be an easy car to live with.
One word of caution: Citroen dealer experience can vary. If you find yourself having to chase the dealership repeatedly just to get a test drive or basic information, take that as a red flag.
