Re: 2022 Skoda Kodiaq Facelift Review | 2.0L Petrol DSG

The sales staff at Noida dealership is beyond hopeless. Now I am being told that there is a fire at the Czech republic Skoda plant due to which there is further delay. Couldn't find any news regarding the same, online. His indication was due to the car. Earlier, delivery confirmation was supposed to come at Feb end or March 1st week. Now the update has been shifted to March end. The goal post just keeps shifting.

Re: 2022 Skoda Kodiaq Facelift Review | 2.0L Petrol DSG

I have read the various response which respective Skoda dealers have given to fellow members.
It seems that even if you have booked on launch day or before there is no guarantee that you will be given the Launch Price.
If your vehicle is delivered after March 2022,dealer may ask you to pay revised price.

It's Skoda who has delayed the delivery, why should the customer who has shown immense trust in the brand and booked the vehicle on Launch day itself suffer?

What is the meaning of Launch Price if Skoda can't deliver the vehicle at promised price for bookings done on or before launch?

Where as Mahindra has promised to Maintain the same price for Launch day bookings, irrespective of the delivery date.

Re: 2022 Skoda Kodiaq Facelift Review | 2.0L Petrol DSG

I visited a Skoda showroom-mainly to check out the Slavia, but also wanted to atleast see the Kodiaq as it is one of my favourite cars and a candidate for an upgrade. The showroom proudly says, all sold out for the year, no display vehicle, no test drive vehicle and no plans for further allocation by Skoda in 2022.

While I had known this from the posts here, I find it absurd and unbelievable that Skoda is not taking any steps to enable further allocation of the Kodiaq to India. I mean, the car was just launched a month back and you are already saying- 'Ok. Come back next year!!'. Understand if there are many thousands of bookings and cars to deliver. This is just a paltry 1200 cars allocation.

The flagship product should always be available for the customer with a reasonable delivery horizon. Not good Skoda.

Re: 2022 Skoda Kodiaq Facelift Review | 2.0L Petrol DSG

Our dealership had confirmed over mail that they will deliver by March 2022. Now they have said they will dilever by Sep 2022.
Skoda seriously needs to intervene.. Dealers are taking customers for a ride.

Re: 2022 Skoda Kodiaq Facelift Review | 2.0L Petrol DSG

I have been told that my car will be allocated in July for a Pre launch Jan 7th booking for the Lava Blue LnK variant. Skoda planning and dealership communication is hopeless. Any thoughts on how I should be escalating this?

Re: 2022 Skoda Kodiaq Facelift Review | 2.0L Petrol DSG

It has been a horrendous experience so far!

Congratulations to all the owners who are receiving their cars, looks smashing!

We have decided to go ahead and cancel our booking and get our refund; every time i see a Kodiaq pass by i know i will feel a pain in my heart!
We are now exploring between Skoda Superb and the new MG ZS EV! Hopefully one of these will be with us in May/ June.

I spoke to my SA yesterday and he has given me a June-July timeline as well. He said he could deliver Sportline earlier (April). He also mentioned that March was never a possibility, thought while booking he was extremely confident of the same.

Basically Skoda has delivered just a few vehicles and they are probably going to subject everyone else to new prices. It does leave a sour taste, issue isn't the amount (I still feel its a great/VFM car at 38.5L), but the fact that people booking right on launch also being subjected to the new prices.

Hi car-o-holic.
My company Director test drove one at TAFE M.G Road last week and has decided to buy it.

Would be very grateful to you if I can take your booking.
(Not to mention getting brownie points for my upcoming appraisal )

Since I'm unable to DM you, could you kindly reach out to me to discuss.
My e-mail is dhruva@connectech.co.in.

Thanks
