2023 Skoda Kodiaq vs Toyota Fortuner - Best SUV In 50 Lakh? | MotorBeam 

What will you buy for 50 lakh? Fortuner or Kodiaq or an entry level German like X1/GLA/Q3?

Went out with budget of 55L, test drove Legender & Kodiaq with family, rejected Legender outright & brought home moonlight Kodiaq L&K. 20K into KMs still plasters a smile whenever it's driven. The creamy power delivery, ambience & refinement is of next level. It just feels lounge like.

As we are a family of only four and the Kodiaq is a feature loaded and premium car. So the Kodiaq is my choice any day

Kodiaq is like affordable version of Audi Q7❤❤❤

Fortuner is expensive only because of the VIPs & ministers using it often. Otherwise it should be around 30-40 lacs as per the features & quality it provides.

Kodiak also has panoramic Sun roof , paddle shifters , adaptive led and many more features

The amount of time kodiaq took to automatically park is equally proportional to abuse on Mumbai roads from behind 😂

Kodiaq over fortuner any day

Kodiaq is a more sensible and practical choice. Now people will talk about “Fortuner is a proper SUV, can go offroad “ How many people buy a Fortuner for going offroad and towing around 10ton trailers? The Fortuner is presently quite overpriced for what it offers. Now if i could afford i would choose a Endeavour/Fortuner coz they will meet my requirements and are @buse friendly. But a Kodiaq is way better engineered than a Fortuner and definitely the better one of the two.

Things which go for the Kodiaq are interiors, performance, comfort, refinement, on-road manners and features. Things which go for the Fortuner are ruggedness, durability, after sales & Service, Road Presence and go-anywhere ability. Agreed that the Fortuner is bare-bone utilitarian. But I would never touch a 40L+ VWAG car with a 10 feet pole. Everything is fun and fine until something breaks and you will know the service advisor's name on a first name basis and have his number on speed dial. Couple that with the fact that this is CBU. Although I would prefer comfort, refinement and on-road manners in a car which costs 50L, I value peace of mind over these. When life gets busy, AS&S and durability plays a very important role. Just fill fuel / Ad Blue and drive the car until the next service and repeat. No-nonsense approach. Alternatively, one could consider the Camry in this Price range too. Toyota > VW/Skoda any day!

Test driven both in the same day. Fortuner is nothing in front of Kodiaq. So dam comfortable, amazing powee delivery and quality of ride and build. Kodiaq not meant for rough use. I will choose kodiaq anyday

Just saw a Kodiaq on nardo grey and it looks killer❤

No regrets of buying the Fortuner(MT). My Dad doesn’t sell cars obce bought and keep it forever so reliability is a huge factor. Don’t buy if you want the premium feel, buy it if you want the old school feel and if you love to drive. Also diesel lovers will love the 1GD engine ;)

I own a Volkswagen and the maintenance of the car exceeded the actual cost of the vehicle years back. Now Škoda is an exotic version of Volkswagen and I can’t image the maintenance that charges that come along with buying a Kodiaq. So I’ll prefer the Fortuner over Kodiaq, especially considering it’s high resale value as well..

Fortuner Any day. Reliable. I can use it and easily pass it my son where he could use it without breakdowns, easy to maintain, easy to resale. man its a tank

Sir why don't you include AC performance in your tests?? The fortuner gets a bone chilling AC. TBH, I can sit comfortably when the temperature is cool. The comfort goes very low when you sweat even after paying 50 lakhs on road. German cars lack the AC performance required for Indian summers.

Good job, all details covered ( specially acceleration in all modes )

i love skoda cars and there every present product in market

great comparison

Good reviews... And tiaguan vs jeep campass vs Tucson

Would have loved to see VW Tiguan comparison as well though it may not be a 7 seater but worth a comparison with these two SUVs

For reliability fortuner is best and for luxury feel Kodiak is best

Compare kodiaq with jeep meridian and MG gloster

The best comparison video in recent times ✨

great review

If my running is high and I want a car for long term, there is only one option. If creature comforts is what I am after, again there is only option. Apples to Orange comparison imo.

I own a Kodiaq, comfortable city car...go with AMC, would help keep service costs down... Fortuner big bad boy for off-road and highways... ingress and egress difficult...bouncy and headroom is a problem..

skoda engineering is unbeatable

I want everyone to buy Kodiaq and help the company to make competitors better, which will make Fortuner upgrade the company. Because I want to Buy Fortuner. 🙏

No matter what good you talk about or how good the rivals are... People always buy the overpriced Fortuner

Thanks 👍

Aur ha fortuner kaa naam hi kafi hai feature dekh ke nhi engine chnge hai isiliye lete smj aaya features dale hue toh dibbe bajar main bht hai fortuner ek beast hai

1:04 it reached 0-100 in 9.45 in sport mode

What was the song that was played in kodiaq.

Simply go with Fortuner, because of High Resale value, road presence and true SUV vibes. These tech features come and go, but Mafia looks mafia only

Kodiaq is better than fortuner paying 60 lakhs without any feature is Waste of money . Kodiaq is the best premium.can feel in it

instrument cluster and dashboard should be improved in "Kodiaq" as per the price range

Kodiaq is definitely a better option but fortuner.. The name itself gives me goosebumps. It's my dream car and within 2-3 years, I will own it. Fortuner has songs written over it sir! Meanwhile people don't even know that kodiaq exists.

Well a toyota can outlive it's owner

Can Galaxy Toyota Showroom in Delhi tell me the on-road price for the top model of the Toyota Rumion?

3:06 Parths knee got hurt

9:15 sir ka to aaj workout ho gya 😂😂

With govt future policy better to buy a petrol variant. I hope they both launch hybrid soon in India

You did much better job at parking guess thats not the only take

18:55 Parth said kusaq inster of kodiaq

Yes

Y dont u slide the middle row seat of fortuner for more space in third row ?

Nobody mentioned the best in segment Canton music system♥️

Kodiaq ❤

But I would still get the Fortuner if I had the moo.

Buying Fortuner was never about the features or 0-100 or something else, it's about the road presence people think it has, snob value always defeats function and that's why people will buy it even at 60 lakhs..

8:50 that didn’t deserve 9/10

Please review kodiaq vs xuv 700

My fever got worse so i am sitting on the toilet pooping and watching this.

Guys maybe a comparison video of BMW m340i vs Audi S5 sport back and maybe add the merc A35

The summary is ......pay 15 lacs extra for EGO ... Reasle...but compromise on premium feel ...smoothness and comfort ... Tyota will never learn to give its customers a premium feel...

i have a skoda superb if i were to buy an suv id definitely prefer kodiaq over fortuner cos fortuner seems very much overprised (my perception)

Similar pricepoints, Two totally different SUVs.

please make a video on Mahindra XYLO

Aggregate score Kodiaq- 82, Fortuner -75. Apart from scores Kodiaq is a clear winner. Features, look, quality and feel.

Gloster is worth mentioning

2024 Kodiaq coming with lot of features

Still trying to figure out how third row in Fortuner is better

Best Suv in mind today at this generation goes to MG GLOSTER OR KODIAQ………. Overrated fortuner just dont value for money. Who agree with me ? 😊

I have a type 2 fortuner. I find the ride quality really bumpy.. what would be your suggestion to improve the ride quality. You mentioned about some after market solutions in the video.. Pls suggest.

Fortuner asks for less maintenance costs whereas Kodiaq will burn the hole in your pocket. Fortuner is way more reliable than any other car.

It's funny in the comment section saying kodiaq is this and that and bla bla.......and more funnier is I can't see kodiaq on the road 😂

Which one should I buy ? No doubt bolero..

The third row looked better on Kodiaq but not sure how you said Fortuner’s is better, Fortuner’s knee room looked worse than Kodiaq, headroom was less and the window was smaller. Even about interior durability. I sense some unconscious bias, I understand we attribute Toyota to “Reliability” but as a reviewer you must try to keep the biases and stereotypes away.

My fever got even worce so i am in hospital vomiting and watching this.

What will you buy for 50 lakh? Fortuner or Kodiaq or an entry level German like X1/GLA/Q3? 50 lac hota to main koi bhi buy nahin karata all deprecating assets...instead i will invest 25 in market, and 10 in gold, and rest to buy a decent suv like HOnda Elevate..unless u have a long shopping list burdern from ur betterhalf demand

Kodiaq seems to be better than fortuner

Buying a Fortuner feels justified if you have a large family. At least for me

Kodiaq 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Fortunar is very GooD car very spacei than Kodiak fortunar is realeBle car in looks fortunar is very GooD

I booked Scorpio Classic base model and cancelled to book Jimmy Top model. Did I made a right decision?

anyday Kodiaq or Ford endeavour (second hand) far better than fortuner

Would like to see Jeep meridian in this test.

No AC vents in kodiaq's 3rd row seats is the only regret

Kodiaq is a practical everyday car, fortuner is basically for boys wanting to show off. Unless you need a car for rugged conditions on a daily basis, fortuner really doesn't make any sense

As a slavia owner i would prefer kodiaq

My Endeavour is seven years old. I love it, will keep it forever. But let's think on a new one to replace a SUV like that. Do that thinking experiment with me because it's infuriating. We have no option. Fortuner sucks, other options are not trully 4x4. The only replacement you have for Endeavour is either Jeep Wrangler or something even more expensive like the Defender. But let's come down to earth and keeping oneself grounded to a 50 lac budget what exactly can you buy coming from an Endeavour. Absolutely nothing, there better be some new options in the coming years.

Only thing is that a Toyota is much more reliable than a Skoda. For a reason Toyota is the best selling car company in the world. You don't need breakdown service for Fortuner. The car is a legend for a reason. In Europe as well, Toyotas sell in far more numbers compared to Skodas.

Kodiaq is a prectical car .

bro i think soo you are from mumbai

If you want to spend your hard earned 50L I would suggest buying skoda. Just experience the german engineering once in your lifetime. You will not go for other brand after that. It's just my opinion

Bhaukaal test is missing.

Kodiaq ❤🎉😢😮😊Sach

Kodia

Systumm vale cringe bache kaha ho?

I feel like you wanted to say utilitarian rather than durable feel for the fortuner😅😅

It’s high time cars should not be called 7 seaters.. rather 4.3 meaning 4 adults 3 children.. which in turn means that all 5 seaters are actually 4.1.

The horn 😂

One point with braking test, legender is to heavy than a kodiaq .Just not fine with that.

u should add service cost in videos of comparision

Kodiaq

Why no Jeep Meridian ?

The test you did is called a moose test interestingly someone had tested a toyota hilux and it failed badly so badly that is almost got tumbled over and the fortuner is based on that.

Kodiaq anytime..Volkswagen virtus owner..too good to handle..

I could see you had more knee room in kodiaq
