Skoda Kodiaq First Drive Review - Setting a Benchmark

<p>
We’ve waited long enough for the new-generation Skoda Kodiaq to finally make its way to India. The Kodiaq has always been the thinking person’s luxury SUV, offering a European luxury car feel at a more accessible price point, executed in typical Skoda fashion – balancing practicality with a solid driving experience. But how much of it remains in this new version?</p>

<h2>New Skoda Kodiaq Design &amp; Dimensions</h2>

<p>The latest Skoda Kodiaq definitely takes a more extroverted approach, while still exuding a premium appeal. Though it’s unmistakably a Kodiaq, the wider grille, along with the light bar in this L&amp;K version, gives it a distinctive edge. The tiered lighting is now more prominent, and when driving at night, it’s about as effective as one would like it to be.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Skoda-Kodiaq-Front-Three-Quarter-1747312505417.webp" alt="Skoda Kodiaq-Front-Three-Quarter.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>This more aggressive look of the new Kodiaq is enhanced by its sharper design. The bonnet and bumpers are more angular and pronounced, not just for aesthetics but also for practical aspects – the drag coefficient has gone down from 0.33 to 0.28, adding to the efficiency of the SUV.</p>

    
  
    
  
    
  


<p>In terms of size, the only dimensional change is that the Kodiaq is now 59mm longer. The side profile now has a longer silhouette, with a neat kink under the D-pillar. The 18-inch wheels remain unchanged, though they continue to be well-proportioned. However, we do miss a more traditional alloy design; the current aero-style wheels are chosen primarily for efficiency.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/04/1744865773852-1buf-Skoda-Kodiaq-rear.webp" alt="Skoda-Kodiaq-rear.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

<p>At the rear, the Kodiaq’s familiar design continues but with some updates – a sharply angled windscreen and sculpted bodywork make it sportier. The lighting, too, adopts a more prominent version of Skoda’s signature C-motifs, although you won’t find the full-width setup seen in some rivals.</p><p>A benefit of the extended length is an addition to the boot space. With all three rows up, capacity has grown by 11 litres, now offering 281 litres of space.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/Skoda_Kodiaq_Boot_Space_Review_autoX-1764912249231.webp" alt="Skoda_Kodiaq_Boot_Space_Review_autoX.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>Fold the third row, and this expands to a generous 786 litres – 21 litres more than before. Despite the manual folding mechanisms for the second and third rows, accessing all this space is easy enough, especially with the pull-tabs for the second row in the boot, which allow you to create 1,976 litres of space.</p>

    
  
    
  


<h2>New Kodiaq Interior Quality &amp; Space</h2>

<p>Inside, the new Kodiaq exhibits a more substantial departure from its predecessor. The dual-cockpit theme stands out, and at first glance, it feels considerably more upmarket than the simpler design of the earlier model.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Skoda-Kodiaq-steering-wheel-1747312436985.webp" alt="Skoda Kodiaq-steering-wheel.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>The tan leather on the dash, is a massive upgrade, and most surfaces have a soft, premium feel to them. The more intricate air vents and the floating effect of the door handles make the interior feel even more premium. What hasn’t been compromised, however, are the thoughtful touches Skoda calls their ‘Simply Clever’ features. One standout feature are the configurable dials. These rotary controls serve multiple functions, managing climate, seat, and drive modes, offering a far more intuitive and easier to use alternative to touch-based interfaces.</p><p>Another practical addition is the new central tunnel. With Skoda shifting to a column-mounted gearshifter, the Kodiaq’s cabin feels more spacious and less cluttered, even though the overall space remains unchanged from the previous model.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Skoda-Kodiaq-instrument-cluster-1747312483089.webp" alt="Skoda Kodiaq-instrument-cluster.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

    
  
    
  


<p>The switch to the updated MQB platform also brings new electronic architecture – the car now gets a 13-inch touchscreen and a 10.25-inch driver’s display. The touchscreen supports seamless wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, along with built-in navigation.</p>

<p>In the second row, while the changes aren’t massive, there’s a greater sense of space and comfort. The door protectors remain, as do the three-zone climate control, large panoramic sunroof, and window blinds.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/Skoda_Kodiaq_3rd_Row_Seats_Review_autoX-1764912316469.webp" alt="Skoda_Kodiaq_3rd_Row_Seats_Review_autoX.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div><p>
    The third row has also received attention, with 15mm of extra headroom, but the experience remains much the same as in the previous Kodiaq. It’s still best suited for children – most adults will find it tough to sit here for long periods. As a result, the third row should be used only by children or for short journeys. In fact, the massive boot space you get when the third row is folded is much more practical.</p>

    
  
    
  


<h2>2025 Kodiaq Features &amp; Safety</h2>

<p>Like before, the Kodiaq comes generously equipped. Highlights include matrix LED headlamps, automatic headlights and wipers, powered front seats with heating, ventilation, and massage functions, three-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, and rear window blinds.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Skoda-Kodiaq-Sunroof-top-1747312575734.webp" alt="Skoda Kodiaq-Sunroof-top.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div><p>Safety features continue to impress with nine airbags – though now, a centre airbag replaces the driver’s knee airbag. The Kodiaq retains its 5-star Euro NCAP rating, but, ADAS is missing from the India-spec version.</p><h2>New Kodiaq Engine, Power &amp; Driving Experience</h2>

<p>From behind the wheel, the experience doesn’t feel drastically different at first. It’s easy to find a comfortable driving position, the SUV feels smaller than its size when manoeuvring, and the seats are very comfortable. The 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, now producing 201bhp, is a significant upgrade.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Skoda-Kodiaq-Motion-1747312428683.webp" alt="Skoda Kodiaq-Motion.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>It continues to make 320Nm of torque and is paired with a seven-speed DCT, but its drivability is remarkably better. This sense of improved response carries through the rev range, where a linear surge of power makes acceleration feel more intuitive. As before, performance ramps up significantly past 4,000rpm, but it’s now accompanied by a more engaging rasp from the engine.</p>

    
  
    
  


<p>The new Kodiaq rides much like its predecessor. On smooth roads, it glides along with a composed presence that delivers a genuine luxury car experience. However, over broken and uneven roads, the suspension becomes quite noisy, and at low speeds, sharp bumps can filter into the cabin. As before, though, the ride improves noticeably as speeds rise. The Kodiaq settles into a confident, comfortable pace that makes rear-seat travel particularly soothing.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/1748777603750-42rg-Skoda-Kodiaq-04.webp" alt="Skoda Kodiaq rear driving.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

<p>Despite the removal of the adaptive damping system in this update, the Kodiaq maintains good ride quality over most surfaces at higher speeds. That said, when pushed hard, its mass does begin to show. In tighter corners, it rolls and runs wide, but keep your speed and inputs measured, and the Kodiaq will flow along a winding road with decent agility and a touch of engagement.</p>

<p>The steering contributes positively to this experience – it’s light enough to make city driving feel easy, yet precise enough at higher speeds to inspire confidence, giving you a sense of control. Also worth noting is the improvement to the braking feel: gone is the abrupt pedal response seen in earlier Skodas. Braking now feels more progressive, allowing you to modulate the brakes better.</p>

<h2>2025 Skoda Kodiaq Price &amp; Verdict: Is It Worth the Premium?</h2>

<p>Priced at ₹48.69 lakh for this L&amp;K version, the new Kodiaq picks up right where the previous model left off. It has gotten significantly more expensive, and while the infotainment screen could be more intuitive and some plastic bits don’t feel as premium as before, the overall cabin feels more special nonetheless. The smoother, more refined engine and well-sorted dynamics continue to make this a genuine luxury experience, without a luxury price tag.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Skoda-Kodiaq-1-1747312590236.webp" alt="Skoda Kodiaq-1.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">

With the launch of the second-gen Kodiaq, Skoda brings Indian buyers a fresh contender in the three-row SUV space. But is it worth it?

<p>
The off-road motorcycle scene in India is gaining serious momentum. For KTM enthusiasts, the 390 Adventure has been the default choice. Yet, for those craving serious dirt capabilities, extensive aftermarket modifications became the norm. Was KTM paying attention? It appears so. Enter the 390 Enduro R – a machine that promises better off-road performance while retaining the trusted 390 platform. So, is this the factory-built solution riders have been waiting for? We took it to the trails at Pro Dirt Adventure Park to find out.</p>

<h2>KTM 390 Enduro R Design &amp; Styling: Serious Off-Road Intent</h2>

<p>First impressions matter, and the Enduro R certainly makes a strong one. While it shares its underpinnings with the 390 Adventure, its stance is noticeably more aggressive and purpose-built. The vibrant KTM orange colour screams performance, and the bike looks broader and tougher  – visually more rugged than the 390 Adventure.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/04/1744278025044-sv8w-4-(1)-(1).webp" alt="KTM 390 Enduro R" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>The key change here is the sharp, minimalist LED headlight assembly, which is inspired by KTM’s hardcore EXC enduro bikes, quickening the pulse of any enthusiast. The 43mm WP Apex front forks and a matching monoshock at the rear signal serious off-road intent. Smart touches like pigmented body panels (designed to resist scratches), along with standard handguards, crash protection, and an engine bash plate, underscore its ready-for-anything character.</p><p>Beneath the skin, KTM India has made some interesting calls. The Enduro R retains the same suspension components as the 390 Adventure, offering 200mm of travel at the front and 205mm at the rear – shorter than the international model’s 230mm, which significantly lowers the seat height, making it more practical for our market.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/KTM-390-Enduro-R-Stand-View-1747313164247.webp" alt="KTM 390 Enduro R-Stand-View.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>The most consequential upgrade is the new wheelset – a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoked rim combo, replacing the Adventure’s 17-inch rear setup. These are shod with Mitas Enduro Trail E07+ tyres – 90-section front and a fatter 140-section rear. This setup, along with revised suspension tuning, has raised the ground clearance to an impressive 253mm (up from the Adventure’s 237mm). To ensure a slimmer profile, the fuel tank has been downsized to 9 litres from the Adventure’s 14.5 – while it affects the range, it also reduces the kerb weight to 177kg (5kg lighter than the Adventure), enhancing its handling capabilities.</p>

    
  
    
  


<h2>KTM 390 Enduro R Ergonomics &amp; Features</h2>

<p>The new Enduro R strikes a thoughtful balance between functional tech and minimalist design. It features all the essential off-road hardware, which includes dual-channel ABS with an off-road mode, traction control, and selectable Street and Off-road ride modes – notably, there’s no Rain mode as found on the 390 Adventure.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/KTM-390-Enduro-R-Speedometer-1747313158262.webp" alt="KTM 390 Enduro R-Speedometer.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>The updated switchgear feels tactile and intuitive, and there is a dedicated button to disable rear ABS on the fly, making transitions to dirt riding quick and seamless. The smaller TFT display is sharp, legible, and easy to navigate, offering smartphone connectivity and clear ride mode indicators. Within Off-road mode, riders can customise their experience by disabling traction control and even the quickshifter.</p><p>Swinging a leg over the Enduro R immediately reveals its intent. At 860mm, the seat height is 30mm taller than the 390 Adventure’s, which may pose a challenge for shorter riders, especially in tricky situations. It’s worth noting that the international version sits even higher at 890mm, adding an even bigger hurdle for less-experienced riders to climb (pun intended).</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/KTM-390-Enduro-R-Motion1-1747313212204.webp" alt="KTM 390 Enduro R-Motion1.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>The pillion grab rails, while practical, extend upward rather prominently and can snag a leg during mounting. That said, once seated, the bike feels purpose-built. The long, firm seat offers excellent support and ample fore-aft movement – crucial for managing traction off-road. The centrally-mounted footpegs and wide handlebars form a confident and comfortable rider triangle, ideal for both seated cruising and aggressive stand-up riding. One minor drawback, inherited from the Adventure, is the tendency of the plastic side panels to get scuffed over time, especially with off-road boots.</p>

    
  
    
  


<h2>KTM 390 Enduro R Engine Performance &amp; Off-Road Capability</h2>

<p>At its core, the 390 Enduro R retains the familiar 399cc LC4c engine, producing the same 46bhp and 39Nm of torque as the 390 Adventure. However, revised engine mapping and a shorter final drive ratio (14/48 vs 14/46) result in a noticeable difference.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/KTM_Enduro_R_Engine_Review_autoX-1764747862703.webp" alt="KTM_Enduro_R_Engine_Review_autoX.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>Given its reduced weight, the Enduro R feels livelier and more urgent, delivering an extra dose of punch. It remains a rev-happy motor, offering strong performance through the mid-range and top-end. That said, riders navigating tight, technical terrain may still crave a bit more low-end grunt. This is an engine that demands rider engagement, rewarding active, energetic inputs. The six-speed gearbox is well-spaced and shifts cleanly, with first and second gears proving particularly useful for both city commuting and trail riding. Despite a smaller 285mm front disc (down from 320mm on the Adventure), braking performance is strong.</p><p>Where the 390 Enduro R truly earns its stripes is off the beaten path. The revised suspension tuning makes an immediate impression. It’s far more compliant than that of the 390 Adventure – it soaks up bumps, ruts, and undulations with a newfound composure. That familiar issue of front-end bottoming on sharp hits and heavy landings has been largely resolved.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/KTM_Enduro_R_Suspension_Review_autoX-1764747890741.webp" alt="KTM_Enduro_R_Suspension_Review_autoX.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>The bike now settles quickly and confidently, encouraging riders to carry more speed through demanding terrain. However, with the 18-inch rear wheel and 205mm of travel, the rear end tends to bottom out with harder hits. Impressively, this newfound off-road capability doesn’t come at the cost of on-road performance. Thanks to its Duke-derived chassis, the Enduro R remains agile and engaging on the tarmac, carving corners with a sharpness few dual-purpose bikes in India can match.</p>

    
  
    
  


    
  
    
  
<h2>KTM 390 Enduro R Verdict: Should You Buy One?</h2>

<p>Overall, the 390 Enduro R stands out as the most capable off-road machine in KTM India’s 390 lineup. With its reduced weight, revised gearing, properly tuned and adjustable suspension, and the all-important 21/18 spoked wheel setup, it’s a machine that truly shines once the road ends. It thoughtfully addresses many of the standard Adventure’s shortcomings for serious off-road use. That said, in its stock trim, it’s neither a hardcore enduro weapon nor a proper tourer. The smaller fuel tank, high-strung engine character (for some), and tall seat height clearly define its niche. This is a bike best suited for enthusiasts who blend spirited road riding with challenging weekend trail adventures, or, perhaps, for dirt riders looking for a versatile road-legal second bike.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/KTM-390-Enduro-R-Motion-1747313152284.webp" alt="KTM 390 Enduro R-Motion.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

<p>Against its chief rival, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, the Enduro R offers a sharper, more performance-focused alternative, albeit at a higher price. It’s not just a modified Adventure – it’s a thoughtfully created, factory-built response to what KTM fans have long been asking for. And the best part? KTM India has confirmed that the full-blown international-spec Enduro R will also join the lineup, giving riders the option of a no-compromise package straight from the showroom.

KTM 390 Enduro R First Ride Review - R-eality Check

KTM fans have long desired a more serious off-road machine based on the 390 platform. The Enduro R promises to deliver just that. But does it live up to the hype?

<p>
I have a long history with the Volkswagen Tiguan. It’s a car that I’ve admired over the years and driven extensively. In fact, over the past six years or so, I’ve spent considerable time behind the wheel of at least four variations of the Tiguan. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that I might have driven the Tiguan more extensively than anyone else in India. So, when the brand-new generation of the SUV that I truly love driving arrived, I was quite eager to find out what all had changed. Here’s what I think of the new Tiguan, and whether it’s worth your money or not.</p>

<h2>Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Interior Review – Screens, Tech &amp; Quality</h2>

<p>The interior of the Tiguan is all-new, with a massive infotainment touchscreen in the centre of the dashboard, giving it a far more luxurious feel compared to the previous generation.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/07/Volkswagen-Tiguan-R-Line-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation-1752818840078.webp" alt="Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>The display features configurable shortcut buttons along the top and bottom, and the large central home screen displays the sat nav, music, and other important information. It’s fast, responsive and has bright, clear graphics. However, you still get Volkswagen’s unintuitive touch-sensitive sliders for climate control. On the plus side, there is an excellent digital instrument display as standard, now larger than the one in the previous model. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that the new Tiguan has one of the most modern, high-tech cabins in the mid-sized SUV segment.</p><p>While the old Tiguan’s simple Teutonic design had its appeal, it was starting to look dated. The new model addresses that with sleek LED headlights that merge into a full-width black panel, giving the front a fresh new look.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Volkswagen-Tiguan-R-Line-Rear-view-1747374820060.webp" alt="Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line-Rear-view.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>At the rear, a similar light panel runs along the boot lid. Overall, especially in the brighter colour options, paired with the 19-inch wheels, the new Tiguan looks refreshing and quite attractive. The prominent headlights and taillights give it an imposing presence on the road.</p>

    
  
    
  


<h2>Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Driving Experience – Ride, Refinement &amp; Handling</h2>

<p>Behind the wheel, the Tiguan is quiet, comfortable, and refined to drive, both in the city and on the highway. The suspension is well-tuned and soaks up big bumps with ease while keeping the car stable and composed. This makes the Tiguan a great car for daily driving, but the light steering and refined suspension mean that it’s not the most exciting car on twisty roads, even with its sportiest setting.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Volkswagen-Tiguan-R-Line-side-profile-dynamic-1747374034112.webp" alt="Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line-side-profile-dynamic.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

    
  
    
  


<p>The Tiguan strikes a sweet spot in terms of dimensions – it’s big enough to offer a spacious interior, yet compact enough to remain easy and unintimidating to drive in urban settings. Visibility is pretty good, and the high seating position gives you a commanding view of the road ahead.</p>

<p>Its light steering makes tight manoeuvres effortless, so much so that it makes you almost forget that you’re driving a practical SUV.</p><p>The suspension is well-tuned too – if you hit a big speed bump, it doesn’t send a harsh jolt through the cabin and settles down quickly. That said, there is a slightly firm edge to it, which means that sharper imperfections, such as potholes, are quite noticeable.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Volkswagen-Tiguan-R-Line-Rear-Three-Quarter-1747374552787.webp" alt="Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line-Rear-Three-Quarter.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

    
  
    
  
  


<p>On the highway, the Tiguan’s comfort and refinement continue to impress. It remains quiet at higher speeds, and the suspension deals with most road irregularities with ease, although a bit of road noise does filter in.</p>

<p>As with most cars that prioritise comfort and refinement, you have to make some sacrifices in terms of having fun on twisty roads. The tyres offer decent grip, but the steering is quite light and lacks feedback, which somewhat knocks your confidence, meaning you have to hold back a bit.</p><p>Switching the Tiguan to Sport mode makes the throttle more responsive, and the gearbox becomes more willing to downshift when you accelerate.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/07/Volkswagen-Tiguan-R-Line-start-stop-switch-1752818886074.webp" alt="Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line-start-stop-switch.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>Once you get in the groove, it shifts up and down quickly, responding to your inputs far better than in the standard setting. That said, the experience still feels a bit synthetic and lacks the fun of spirited driving.</p>

    
  
    
    


<h2>Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Space, Seating &amp; Boot Capacity Explained</h2>

<p>The Tiguan is a pretty large car, so it’s no surprise that the front seats feel expansive. There are loads of adjustments for both the seats and the steering wheel, making it easy for drivers of all shapes and sizes to find a comfortable driving position.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/Volkswagen_Tugian_R-Line_Front_Seats_Review_autoX-1764747430127.webp" alt="Volkswagen_Tugian_R-Line_Front_Seats_Review_autoX.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>Since we get the R-Line version in India, the sports seats are absolutely fantastic, with impressive lumbar and side support – they are really very comfortable. However, they lack electric adjustment, which might be a drawback for some customers. Another notable omission is keyless entry and exit – a feature I personally value and find frustrating to do without.</p><p>In the rear, the Tiguan offers impressive space, befitting a family SUV. Two six-footers can easily sit behind front passengers of similar height, with plenty of knee and headroom for both. The rear bench is quite flat, and the centre seat is relatively wide, so a third passenger can ride in reasonable comfort as well.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Volkswagen-Tiguan-R-Line-Rear-Space-1747374590229.webp" alt="Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line-Rear-Space.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

    
  
    
  


<p>With 652 litres of boot space, the new Tiguan offers one of the largest boots in a two-row SUV. It’s not just big but also quite practical. There’s no load lip between the boot opening and the floor, so you don’t have to hoist items into it. The rear seats fold completely flat, allowing you to slide items all the way in without any obstruction.</p>

<h2>Tiguan R-Line Features &amp; Cabin Quality – Touchscreen, Materials &amp; Tech</h2>

<p>The new Tiguan’s interior has undergone a thorough transformation, and the centrepiece is a 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment display, now standard across the range. It controls all of the car’s major functions and marks a significant upgrade over the previous generation model.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/03/1742897697837-jrt1-Volkswagen-Tiguan-R-Line-Rear-Interior.webp" alt="Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Rear Interior.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

<p>The new system software feels much closer to modern smartphones, with features like multiple home screens, configurable shortcuts and widgets, and gestures such as press-and-hold for adjustments. Climate controls have been moved to a slim bar at the bottom of the display, and just below it are touch-sensitive sliders for volume and temperature. While this setup is slightly better executed than in some other VW models, it still takes time to get used to and isn’t the most intuitive.</p>

<p>That said, the interior quality is excellent throughout – it’s certainly a cut above a lot of SUVs in this price range.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Volkswagen-Tiguan-R-Line-Steering-Controls-1747374119426.webp" alt="Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line-Steering-Controls.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>Soft-touch plastics and solid build quality give the cabin a premium feel, and everything feels well put together. But if you start poking around, you’ll find a few hard plastic bits, like on the lower part of the centre console and the rear door cards.</p>

<h2>Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Verdict – Price, Value &amp; Should You Buy It?</h2>

<p>As someone who has been a fan of the Tiguan since it was launched in India back in 2018, I’d say that the latest version is a massive upgrade and a worthy one. Sure, the price has considerably increased – it’s now a CBU import rather than being assembled locally in India  – but the quality, driving appeal, and overall feel of the car have also seen a massive improvement, which easily justifies its increased price. That said, it’s the new interior, in particular, that makes it feel like a true luxury SUV now.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/07/Volkswagen-Tiguan-R-Line-1752818101552.webp" alt="Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

<p>Sure, it isn’t cheap, but at this price point, it is nigh on impossible to find an SUV that drives better. That’s why I’m thinking of requesting VW India for another long-term Tiguan as soon as possible.

Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Review - Fun in an SUV!

The Tiguan makes a comeback in a brand new avatar. Our in-house Tiguan expert takes it for a spin to find out what it offers.  

<p>The Kia Carens has been selling well in the market, surpassing the sales milestone of 2 lakh units since its launch in 2021. More than three years on, this three-row offering was due for an update. But instead of introducing a direct replacement for the old model, Kia has launched a new, more premium and feature-rich vehicle based on the Carens: the Carens Clavis. While Carens reflects its lineage, Clavis derives from a Latin phrase meaning ‘the Golden Key’. So, what key updates set the Carens Clavis apart from the standard Carens?</p>

<p>Let’s find out.</p>

<h2>Kia Carens Clavis Looks: MPV Turned SUV</h2>

<p>Despite sharing its underpinnings with the Carens, the Clavis sports a distinctly different look. This is largely due to design elements like the new Digital Tiger Nose grille and the striking Star Map LED DRLs paired with a redesigned headlamp cluster. The front fascia is mostly closed off – reminiscent of electric vehicles – and resembles Kia’s newer models like the Syros and EV9. A prominent silver-finished chrome skid plate at both ends adds a rugged, SUV-like character, further enhanced by the raised bonnet, which gives the front-end profile a more commanding presence.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Kia-Carens-Clavis-alloy-wheel-1749466914961.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-alloy-wheel.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>Contributing to its more premium appearance are the 17-inch alloy wheels, an inch larger than those on the standard Carens. In terms of dimensions, the Clavis is 10mm longer, while the rest of its measurements remain unchanged. As a result, it has the same boot capacity as the Carens – 216 litres.</p>

    
  
    
  


<h2>Kia Carens Clavis Interior: Premium Cabin and New Tech Features</h2>

<p>Step inside the Clavis, and you are welcomed by a noticeably more premium and modern cabin. There’s a clear focus on technology and aesthetics, with improved materials on the dashboard that are both visually appealing and well-finished.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Kia-Carens-Clavis-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation-1749466906825.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>New additions include a connected island that houses twin 10.25-inch displays, a four-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, an updated steering wheel, and a larger dual-pane panoramic sunroof. One notable feature is the hybrid touch panel that toggles between media and climate controls. While it saves space on the dashboard, its usability while driving is questionable, as it requires taking your eyes off the road.</p><p>The second row remains largely unchanged. The Clavis is offered in both 6- and 7-seat configurations, similar to the Carens.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Kia-Clavis_Diesel_MTReview_autoX_03-1755597189589.webp" alt="Kia-Clavis_Diesel_MTReview_autoX_03.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>The 7-seat variant now includes a three-point seatbelt for the middle passenger. A convenient walk-in feature allows the second-row passenger to adjust the front passenger seat via a lever on its side. Additionally, a one-touch tumble function for the left-side second-row seat makes accessing the third row quite easier.</p>

    
  
    
  


<p>Due to the extended sunroof reaching the second row, the roof-mounted AC vents have been repositioned to the sides.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Kia-Carens-Clavis-Sunroof-top-1749466922473.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-Sunroof-top.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>It’s slightly disappointing that the under-thigh support in the second row hasn’t seen any improvement. As for the third row, it’s reasonably comfortable for short trips but is more suitable for children than adults due to limited under-thigh support and legroom. That said, Kia has thoughtfully equipped the third row with AC vents, reading lights, two USB-C ports, and cupholders, adding to the overall practicality.</p>

<h2>Kia Carens Clavis Driving Experience: Comfort-Focussed and Easygoing</h2>

<p>The drivetrain options for the Clavis are the same as the Carens – a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol, a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. Power and torque figures are also the same, but the Clavis now gets a 6-speed manual transmission option with the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol variant.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Kia-Carens-Clavis-side-profile-dynamic-1749466901849.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-side-profile-dynamic.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>True to its character, the Clavis is tuned for comfort. This is evident in its quiet cabin, light steering, and well-cushioned suspension setup. Ground clearance is also generous – I didn’t encounter any issues, even when tackling tall speed breakers, during the test.</p><p>A key upgrade over the Carens is the inclusion of 20 Level 2 ADAS features, enhancing overall safety.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Kia-Carens-Clavis-steering-wheel-1755582015733.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-steering-wheel.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>The Clavis is also equipped with additional cameras that enable a 360-degree surround view system, making parking and manoeuvring in tight spaces significantly easier.</p>

    
  


<h2>Kia Carens Clavis Verdict: A Value-Packed Upgrade Over the Carens?</h2>

<p>The Carens Clavis is undoubtedly a step up from the standard Carens. It offers a more modern design and additional features while retaining the plush ride quality and versatile powertrain options that made the original appealing.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Kia-Carens-Clavis-Rear-Three-Quarter-1749466928839.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-Rear-Three-Quarter.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>Pricing for the Carens Clavis starts at a very attractive ₹11.50 lakh while the top trim costs ₹21.50 lakh. The base price is just a touch higher which is great to see. In my opinion, even the higher trims justify the hike because of the features they now come with. The Carens Clavis is an easy recommendation for families looking for a well-rounded and feature-rich three-row vehicle.</p>

Kia Carens Clavis First Drive Review - Raising the Bar

The new Kia Carens Clavis is here with fresh styling and more features, but does it offer enough to stand out as a better choice for Indian families?

<p>
The Chang International Circuit is F-A-S-T. Long straights, hard acceleration zones, and harder braking points – all stitched together with some truly terrifying high-speed corners. Common sense would suggest it’s not exactly the ideal playground for first-timers on a top-dog, litre-class superbike. But when it’s about Ducati, there’s always some room for surprise. Which is why they flew me to this MotoGP track to get my first taste of the 2025 Panigale V4 S.</p>

<h2>2025 Ducati Panigale V4 S: What’s New and Why It Matters</h2>

<p>Now, this is a big deal. This is about the brand-new Panigale V4 – the flagship from Bologna. As you’d expect, Ducati has been shouting from the rooftops that this is the best-ever, fastest-ever, and most forward-looking Panigale, ever. A manufacturer hyping its latest product? Business as usual, or are they actually telling the truth?</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/1747141659627-vsrg-Ducati-Panigale-V4-S-side-profile.webp" alt="Ducati Panigale V4 S-side-profile.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

<p>Well, after spending a full day on it, lapping a racetrack under the sweltering Buriram sun, we think we have the answer. The new Panigale V4 is fan-effing-tastic!</p><p>Now, of course, a whole lot of fine-tuning and fresh changes have gone into this 7G Panigale. But let’s start with the familiar. The 2025 version is still propelled by the same 1,103cc V4 engine. It’s still blazingly red. And it’s still very desirable. Some might complain the design has softened, but it grows on you with time. Two minutes, to be precise. That’s how long it took me to fall for it.</p><h2>Ducati Panigale V4 S Engine, Frame and Suspension Updates Explained</h2><p>Let’s move to the finer details. The frame is all-new, and so is the dual-sided swingarm, which replaces the gorgeous single-sided unit of the outgoing model. Why the change? Because it’s all about form following function here. The new swingarm reduces lateral stiffness by a whopping 37%. It’s a similar story with the front frame – it claims to bring lateral rigidity down by an impressive 40%.</p>
    

    
  
    
  




<p>There are also new electronics, an updated Öhlins semi-electronic suspension setup, a beefed-up braking package, and more. Now, I could go on and type out the entire brochure for you, but I’m pretty sure I’d run out of space on these pages. So, let’s cut to the chase and talk about what really matters: the riding experience.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/1747141569427-9mcu-Ducati-Panigale-V4-S-2.webp" alt="Ducati Panigale V4 S-2.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>If you’ve ridden the original Panigale V4, especially the first-gen from 2017, you’ll remember what an assassin it was. Relentless. Rigid. Unforgiving. It was hot-blooded and temperamental, like a heavyweight boxer dialled up to 11. A lethal weapon that wouldn’t hesitate to chew you up and spit you out for the slightest mistake.</p><h2>How the 2025 Panigale V4 S Rides on Track</h2>

    
  
    
  


<p>Ducati realised the problem quickly, which is why the later versions of the Panigale V4 became a bit less feverish and a little more friendly. But, as they say, a leopard doesn’t change its spots – the red mist never fully cleared from the Panigale’s head. Well, that was until now. The new Panigale V4 is a complete rethink. It’s no longer out for your blood the moment you twist the throttle. Instead, this one gently holds your hand, calms your nerves, and then blows your pants off – same, same, but very different.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/1747141550068-wqj2-Ducati-Panigale-V4-S-Motion.webp" alt="Ducati Panigale V4 S-Motion.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

<p>It is noticeably friendlier to ride – something that was clear from the very first lap. It feels lighter, roomier, and far less physically demanding. At 213bhp, the V4 motor still produces more or less the same power, but these 2025-spec horses are far more accessible.</p>

<p>For instance, the throttle no longer feels like you’re cracking open the lid of a nuclear reactor. The response is sharp but measured, and not barking mad. Make no mistake, the acceleration is still mind-tinglingly brutish, and a slight twist of the wrist will still leave you breathless – just not in a suicidal way.</p>

<p>And those long straights? The Panigale eats them up like Pac-Man. The acceleration is jaw-dropping. But before you can even pick your jaw off the floor, you’re hard on the brakes, and down it goes again on the floor – the stopping power from the new Brembo Hypure brakes are simply sensational.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/1747141575618-c30a-Ducati-Panigale-V4-S-3.webp" alt="Ducati Panigale V4 S-3.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

<p>What’s more, you now get Race eCBS – a linked braking system that automatically engages the rear brake for trail braking when you grab the front lever. The result? Tighter lines into apexes and a sense that, just maybe, you’re the second coming of Marc Márquez.</p>

<p>And last but not least, the handling and electronics. While the old Panigale needed to be muscled into corners at high speeds, this one flows with you, like an extension of your body. You can hurl it into a bend without a second thought, and it’ll rocket out the other side, gripping the tarmac like a leech. Honestly, it feels more like a middleweight than a full-fat litre-class machine.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/1747141542250-9h1j-Ducati-Panigale-V4-S-Speedometer.webp" alt="Ducati Panigale V4 S-Speedometer.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p>

<p>Adding to that sense of confidence is its suite of stellar electronics, including the new DVO (Ducati Vehicle Observer), which constantly tweaks wheelie control and traction control in real time. Not only does it keep you from launching yourself into space but also helps you post faster lap times.</p>

<h2>2025 Ducati Panigale V4 S Verdict: Should You Buy One?</h2>

<p>As far as I’m concerned, the Panigale V4 S is faultless. It’s blisteringly fast and drop-dead gorgeous, and now it’s also friendlier and more welcoming than ever. Regardless of your skill level, it’s a motorcycle that urges you to push harder, without punishing your body or bruising your ego. The only downside? That price tag. At ₹36.5 lakh (ex-showroom), it demands a heck of a lot of money. But, then, in return, you also get a heck of a lot of bike.</p><p>
