I don't have a list but other than the floor mats, mud flaps and cover I am listing the things I remember, a few things I gave away so I might be missing a few things. But here goes - 2 pillows, car perfume, a very small bag(can hardly keep anything in it, I think it's meant for an iPad or something), basic cleaning kit (shampoo, wiper fluid, cloth etc), charging cable (usb A to usb C - so weird coz the car only has usb c charging points) and a Blaupunkt 12v power socket charger. I might be missing a few things but I think this covers more or less everything. Like I said other than the mats, mud flaps and cover the remaining things are pretty useless/avoidable.

Think the price is decent, even if you are interested in only the mat, mud flaps and cover. I have gone for it. That said, not sure if I had an option to say no.

Thanks much. Looks like only the mats and mud flaps are useful. Don't think I will ever use the cover. Not sure if this mat is the best option

While TurbochargedT have pretty much mentioned it, below is the entire list. I went for it and found it useful. In addition to the 3 (cover, mud flaps, mats), sling bag which is a portable bigger trash bag and could be hung behind the driver or passenger seat - comes in handy in long drives for a formal place for trash. USB charger is handy as it is USB A (Car only comes with USB C). My family likes cushions as well. 17K is a steal considering quality of all these compared to 30K cost for the similar Tiguan accessories.

Question to fellow BHPians - What was the manufacturing month of your Kodiaq. I am getting a March 2022 and vehicle is in transit. Thinking why would the vehicle be in factory for so long, or is it that the date is the original manufacturing (in plant outside india) and not assembly month in India

Probably the original manufacturing date (outside India). Took delivery yesterday and my car also has March 2022 as the manufacturing month.

Congratulations! Why aren't we seeing any pics? Which variant did you go for? Wish you thousands of kilometres of happy motoring!

It’s just 2 months old and I think it’s okay for a CKD unit.
With the current supply issues, I wouldn’t have been bothered even if it was 5 months old.

Would agree with that. When I look at Jeep launching a sub-optimal vehicle at nearly the same price, I feel glad to have made the booking on time. BUT, I also feel sad that it feels like 1970s again, shortage of everything good.

Pictures - will do for sure once I get the vehicle

If it's from the vin number, then it's the manufacturing date at factory before import and it's not late. I have seen around 5-7 months plus lag in such cases; even for older Kodiaq

My dealer informed me it's in 'creat' mode in Chakan Pune plant. Maybe will get delivered in a month.
Keeping fingers crossed.

Still I am unable to get VIN.

Got the vehicle today evening. Didn't get a chance to drive much since the formalities took the entire day. However, the 15-20km I was able to drive, made me happy.

As a bit of stoic individual, I rarely care what others think and don't derive much pleasure out of world things. But has the popular saying goes, "Yahan main fisal gaya".

Over the next 1-2 weeks, will surely post pictures

[SilverSmoke]

Great man.. Many congratulations to you. Waiting for the pics.

Then that will be a significant gap in know how of sales manager.

Will re-confirm.
