Latest News on Mahindra Thar ROXX and MG Motor Gloster

Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which one is the best, MG Gloster or Skoda Kodiaq?
  • Both cars are best in their own forte. The interior quality is almost flawless and the comfortable seats and spacious cabin makes it a fantastic car to spend time in. Then there is its long convenience and safety features list which can put even some cars twice its price to shame. Even the engine and gearbox combo works really well, be it in the city or out on the highway, and the comfortable ride results in a car you can spend long hours in. What we expected to be better however is the fuel efficiency, which is disappointingly low compared to its rivals. On the other hand, Skoda’s Kodiaq hasn’t changed dramatically with the update. In our books, that’s no bad thing. Sure, Skoda shouldn’t have skipped out on ADAS tech, and as a family mover, the Kodiaq is still a 5 2, not a true-blue seven-seater. But, it continues to be a classy looker, has a sophisticated cabin, and is loaded with all the feel-good features you want at this price point. The new 2.0-litre TSI motor amps up its desirability quotient for those who want to spend more time behind the wheel. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
