Skoda Laura - 700km drive

[ST7677]

The present Laura is not worth more than 13-14 lacs (Ex showroom) and the vRS Laura say 14-15 lacs.

It is nicely positioned in lower D segment elsewhere in the world, but in India Skoda is trying to play this dirty game.

I agree on the rear seats, it is way below Optra or Corolla. It is still designed as a self driven car with little focus on rear seats.

I second you ,the laura is a beautiful vehicle but not worth anything beyond 13-14 lacs . Though ,i feel the latest version named 'Elegance 'that is 14.3(x showroom mumbai) is a good VFM with the kind of features on offer .
the reson ,Skoda is doing well in india is only becoz of the Diesel engines , i wonder why other manufacturers like Honda ,Toyota do not bring out the diesel Versions .. Imagine a Civic or a Corolla with a diesel engine for Rs. 13 lacs(x showroom) ...

Small correction... Skoda is doing well even in Europe also because of their diesel engines (VW). Diesel is the future and Europe is way ahead of Japan...
