Pretty much always the top model kind of guy. Would probably buy the lower-segment top model car instead of the higher-segment mid variant. I don't want to see anyone else's same car and find myself regretting the absence of a particular feature.

I have been eyeing Kodiaq for a while, and I would consider L&K when I consider it in the mid-term.

Its no brainer cause at that price point delta cost is not the decision point. Only thing going for Indian version of sportline is the dark interiors, but it has nothing to show for in terms of sportiness. Might as well get L&K and get all luxury associated with it.

Voted for the L&K. I always prefer and advocate buying the top trim on most cars. People may argue that you can always retrofit accessories and spruce up a lower variant but company fit is company fit. It comes with the usual warranty and peace of mind. Have always kept my cars 100% original and prefer keep it that way, so for me it has to be the Top variant.

As many others mentioned, Sportline should have been L&K with sporty cosmetics. But unfortunately, VAG is giving step motherly treatment to Indian consumers in their expensive model.

Personally I would buy L&K since I don‘t want to miss out on features like ventilated seats and 360 camera. Then I would blackout the exterior bits as well as swap it with the Sportline alloys so that the exterior matches Sportline variant.

I would choose the L&K trim over the Sportline any day. We've always had top-end variants in our house, and the OEM finish is simply unmatched. Its unbeatable, period!

To me, the Kodiaq is synonymous with luxury and opulence. While it's a personal opinion, the Sportline trim just doesn’t feel quite right or complete.

Audi Q3 would be comparable in price to the previous Kodiaq. At current prices of Skoda Kodiaq, Audi Q5 would be less than 10 lakhs away.
