Indian and Chinese manufacturers are actively producing cars and exporting them to Australia, a so-called developed country. However, it's important not to generalize the entire country based on this. For instance, Land Rover is owned by an Indian business house. If you have concerns about a specific company, it would be more accurate to mention the model name rather than making sweeping generalizations about the entire nation.
For Skoda even the "unbranded sound system is awesome" but in Mahindra Scorpion , even if it's Sony, then also it invokes unimpression. Imagine the review if it was unbranded sound system in Mahindra. 😂😂
38 grand for skoda or 40 grand for mahindra , my money is on mahindra , cause you are getting more presence on the road , decent interior , loaded with features , and the most important thing the power is also good . more reliable than a chinese toy , although it does have some quirks but still you are getting a better value for the money .
I have Kamiq same model. Few issues i have 1. Dash board starts to rattle after 10000 km. Skoda service still not able to dind route cause. 2. Front left breaks makes a awkward sound on break. 3. Ride is stiff as you said. It results in stable ride but also results in higher nvh levels on coarse chip roads.
When you say 1st is tata and 2nd is Mahindra than really dumb of you to not know that skoda kushaq and slavia both are rated above than any of the Mahindra and tata in terms of safety rating
Interesting the adjectives he uses to describe cars. For european or american companies he says, it's "very nice", "pheNNOMenal" ....while for Asian companies it's "pretty good"....Very hesitant to praise the products which are not from Euro or american companies.😁
Again, another youtuber with very little knowledge of public taste. First thing for an suv is its road presence and this skoda does not stand in front of mahindra xuv700 and scorpion in terms of road presence and rest of the usable feature will also put those suvs ahead of skoda. Cheaper in price does not always represent cheaper in quality, build quality of xuv700 and scorpion are much better than this. When your car collides it is the build quality of car which protects you not these peripheral features
In previous video of Mahindra Scorpion, he was whining and crying about how it doesn't have Apple car play...And for Skoda not having that, he says " frankly speaking I can live with that" 😀
Frankly, I was taken aback with the title of this video and then I watched his complete review of Scorpio N, I think in both these scenarios he has given a balanced review and towards the end he actually shared the highlights of Scorpio n and for the reasons it makes good sense.
Honestly just go Japanese (Toyota, Mazda, Honda, can’t go wrong), might cost more to buy them but it’s because they have the quality and reliability to last years. European and Chinese cars will just bite you in the bum in the long term. Pretty sad you keep on suggesting buying Skoda even though VW group cars are notorious for poor reliability, you can’t argue that
I have Skoda Karoq 1.5 TSI 7 DSG from 2019 and I am pretty happy with this product, I had Octavia prior also good experience. Most comments from Indians are understandable as Skoda in India is expensive car and only for higher cast affordable, so if you like Mahindra pls. go for that, you do not need buy Skoda! Also the Skodas in India are second class one, some models are already out in Europe and in India they are launched. So Skoda is probably not so bad when Skoda together with Mahindra are developing a car for India which can most people afford there, if Skoda would be so bad they would not get the contract there!
Skoda is more unreliable in India as compare to mahindra. Skoda failed to deliver relaible product which won't break n after sales service is just bad.
If the video maker is reading my comment. Please don't take my Indian fellows seriously, do not get agitated or frustrated, most of them are immature and know very little about the cars. I think they should make their points more politely. I am forced to apologize for their childish comments.
The criticism which the RU-vid is facing is partially deserved. If he would have said Mahindra instead of India, then it's pretty okay. Mahindra isn't everyone's cup of tea. There are many Indians who don't prefer Mahindra & that's all good. They have their shortcomings which they need to work on. Mahindra isn't the top selling car brand even in India. But saying "Indian cars" isn't okay. However we all know that he meant Mahindra here but still it isn't okay. This creates a wrong perception about Indian brands in the long run. So, it's a request to the RU-vidr to choose his words a bit carefully.
Not Surprising, but These are cheap models and their base has Powered Tail Gate. Wow. I wish we can say that XUV 700 is a cheap SUV bcs if you compare it to established Brands like Germans and overall Jeep Ford it is cheap
@@NH-bz9jv with plastic in take manifolds and constant leaks from turbos, head gaskets, water pumps I can keep going if you like. That’s just the leaking part of the overall problems. and umm good luck with all the repairs when it runs out of warranty 2 years earlier than the Chinese and Indian rivals.
@@bobji8806 you keep on going Bob, rant as much as you like🙄. All I know is that I’ve had 3 Skodas and each one of them has been faultless. My first Skoda was purchased new in 2004 and I had it for 14 years. I drive it hard every day and in that 14 years nothing (NOTHING) went wrong. So yeah, you carry on with your rant and I’ll take my chances with Skoda. Have a good day😘
My first Skoda was a brand new Fabia vRS way back in 2004. I owned that car for 14 years and in all that time the ONLY thing that went wrong was the drivers side electric window regulator ( which Skoda fixed under warranty). I then tried other brands including Audi/BMW/Ford etc and none of them were anywhere near as reliable. My wife now has a 2 year old Fabia Monte Carlo and I have a 2 year old Kamiq Monte Carlo and neither cars have given us any trouble. Skoda, by far the best cars I’ve ever owned.
Why does this review feel so sarcastic at times? 😅 He said the boot space is PHENOMINAL. I don't know if it's just me, but that did not look phenominal!
Mahindra Xuv 700 is way ahead then this skoda kamiq. This car sauce people has sucked skoda sauce for making this video😂. Car sauce is officially broker of skoda kamiq.
much too expensive - cant even get phone wireless charging at this price! I bought a Skoda Yeti in 2012 when the prices for Skoda were still reasonable but never again
Firstly I like Skoda for thier function over form stance, ill take practicality over flash anyday. However while i liked the glovebox and driver's side cubby size, that boot space looked like what you would get in a 3 row SUV, its too small. A Vitara which is smaller than this has more boot space(when you actually put a tape measure to it).
FYI the ice scraper has tyre depth gauge on the corner. If you got an MY20.5 Kamiq with the old style steering wheel, then you also got the removable torch, removable luggage hooks on the top tether points, rear 12v socket, and netting as standard (now optional). For what ever reason Skoda Australia won't offer the flexible load floor even as an option? I just traded my MY21 Kamiq Monte Carlo for an Octavia RS. But that Kamiq was and is a brilliant car! Enough so that I bought a second Skoda.
My 2021 cx30 evolve was the same price as this but it doesn’t have keyless entry or power tailgate, but that’s classic Mazda telling you you’ve got a cheaper spec (not pov spec bc It’s not a base model) 🤦🏼♀️
I have seen how you compare you show your mindset you only want to show your country Cars are great but in reality great cars are great we need to accept the truth
This power train is great in the Polo, heaps of low end torque. Agree that I’d definitely prefer a refined experience when it comes to tech and driver assistance, over something that’s unresolved and glitchy.
Great review - There is a small facelift due to be revealed in a week or two but I'm not sure it's going to make the front end any prettier. Those split lights are the only thing that looks weird on this car.
A small suggestion btw instead of focusing more on 0-100 test, which most dont care or test that way, spend more time on describing a bit more detail in the driving aspect.
Just don't say chinese and Indian together Because chinese stuff will break after 6 months but An INDIAN made thing will last more than 16+ years. Also china makes cheap copycat shit cars whereas INDIANS make proper SUV's which have long history back in India!
