I have a Thar 3-door, 4x4 petrol AT, but I need a car for long drives with family. Recommend something that is comfortable, powerful, fun enough to drive and is reliable. I had an Octavia prior to this, if that matters. Price range ₹30-40 lakh.
Sadly, there still isn’t a true replacement for your Skoda Octavia in the Rs 30-40 lakh bracket. The segment has thinned out, and nothing today quite blends that space, ride comfort and driver engagement the way the Octavia did.
Yes, the new Skoda Octavia RS is finally here and, on paper, it’s everything you’d want: strong performance, sharp handling and that familiar RS edge. But at around Rs 60 lakh, on-road, it sits well outside your budget, and more importantly, it’s a bit too stiff and focused to be the ideal family long-distance car.
Within your budget, the closest you’ll get to that familiar Octavia feel is the Skoda Kushaq 1.5 TSI. It’s obviously a couple of segments smaller, but it still carries that Skoda DNA. The 150hp turbo-petrol is punchy, the DSG transmission is quick and responsive, and it feels nicely planted at highway speeds. There’s a tightness and cohesion here that most SUVs in this class simply don’t have, which makes it genuinely enjoyable to drive on long runs.
The compromise, however, is space. Compared to your Octavia, it feels narrower, and the rear seat, in particular, is quite tight. For occasional use, it’s fine, but for regular family trips, it will feel like a step down.
If space, comfort and effortless cruising are higher on your priority list, the Mahindra XUV 7XO 2.2 diesel is a much stronger fit. It’s significantly more spacious, especially in the second row, and rides very well over broken roads. The diesel has plenty of torque, making highway driving relaxed and easy, and it’s a proper long-distance mile-muncher. It’s not as agile or as connected to drive as the Kushaq, but it’s far better suited to family duties.
Another option is the Toyota Innova HyCross hybrid. This is actually the most sensible choice here if your usage is primarily family road trips. It’s supremely comfortable, especially at the rear, incredibly easy to drive, and the strong hybrid delivers excellent efficiency without compromising on refinement. Reliability is a given, and for long distances, very few cars in this price band come close in terms of stress-free usability.
However, it is not fun to drive. It is competent, smooth and effortless, but lacks the driver engagement you may be used to from the Octavia.

Hi, I am thinking of buying a used 2018 Octavia vRS 230. It has run 55,000 km and is a second-owner car. However, I am a bit sceptical about owning it and managing its maintenance expenses. I can save ₹20,000 per month for maintenance (₹2.4 lakh per year). Should I still go ahead and buy it? My running per month would be around 1,000 km.
It really depends on the price you’re paying and the condition of the car. For a 2018 Skoda Octavia RS (vRS 230) that’s clocked 55,000 km and is a second-owner example, you shouldn’t be paying more than Rs 20-22 lakh, assuming it’s in excellent condition with a full and verifiable service history.
The bigger concern with a used RS is how it’s been driven and maintained. At 55,000 km, it’s a fair amount of use for a performance sedan, so pay close attention to the suspension, wheels, and tyres, as these take quite a beating on our roads. Make sure you get a comprehensive service record, and if it has been serviced outside an authorised Skoda workshop or by unqualified tuners, it’s best to steer clear.
If the car is mechanically sound and has been well cared for, it can still give you several years of enjoyable ownership. With your estimated maintenance budget of around Rs 2.4 lakh per year, you should be able to keep it running reliably, provided there are no major mechanical surprises.

I currently drive the Octavia A7 2.0 TDI and have clocked 1.60 lakh kms. Car is now out of warranty Looking to upgrade in budget of 30-40 lakh rupees with similar driving dynamics and quality. Please advise
Sadly, there is absolutely nothing in the Rs. 30-40 lakh range that can replace your Skoda Octavia and give you a similar driving pleasure. In fact, there are no sedans at all in that price range, and neither are there any SUVs with the character and feel of the Octavia you are looking for.
The Octavia RS is your best option, but on-road prices around Rs 60 lakh are way beyond our budget. The Skoda Kodiaq in the region of Rs. 50 lakh is less of a stretch, and though it's an SUV, it has Skoda’s DNA of good ride and handling.
If you simply cannot stretch your budget, you can downgrade to the Skoda Slavia 1.5 with the 7-speed DSG. It’s a very entertaining car to drive fast, and being a sedan comes closest to your Octy in terms of character.
