The Skoda Kushaq is the brand's much needed and much-awaited crossover. But does it deliver on the expectations of its target audience? That's a question that's as tough to answer as the Indian market itself. This video is our attempt to find out if the Kushaq means business. We have tested both the 1.0l and the 1.5l variants of the Kushaq. Watch to know what to expect from the Kushaq in the real world, and let us know what you think.

Hello, Taigun 1.0 Topline manual vs GT 1.5 manual. Which is better in long run. For GT manual I have to compromise on some very good features but will get a bigger engine. Topline has all features, but concerned about smaller engine. I am getting a good deal for both the vehicles from dealer. Onroad price of both cars is very close. Which is better? Pls suggest.

Hi great review on the engines. The 1.5 is definitely the one to go for but the pricing seems to be high. If skoda wants to get volumes, they should have priced it lower.

@deenaaravind1 2 года назад

which one is most reliable and practical at the same time safety as well ,,S cross zeta variant or kushaq 1.0 base variant ? Because both are in the same budget almost but s cross ( missing traction control and ESP) come with more features also it's 1 lakh cheaper than kushaq (where we miss auto ac , projector lamps & rear disk brakes)

1.5 DSG misses out on side and curtain airbags and Type pressure monitoring system, which the cheaper 1.5 MT gets. 🤔 Also, ambition 1.0 gets sunglass holder but top trims do not. Master-stroke by Skoda India - give less features for the top trim!

@anishskaria 3 года назад

Airbags and TPMS are misses. Guess sunglass holder got missed since sunroof had to be accommodated. While i know others have managed to accommodate both, this is the excuse the Sales Guy gave me.

Amazing presentation Rohit. IMO u speak neutral and u dont sound like promoting a brand, which is very good. Nowadays lot of youtube reviews are sounding like brand promoters. I am glad u spk neutral. My POV during the soft launch 50% of my excitement went out the window and today post the price announcement 100% out. I feel everything negative about the product. Seat quality, poor leather wrapping, poor cluster, plastic dashboard, poor backseat only for 2 passengers in back seat 3rd headrest is a gimmick, roofline fabric is cheap, touchscreen is a bummer, etc etc. Skoda brand know only to produce a good engine, they should sell engines like Fiat and allow others to design interiors and pricing. Everything else is looking like cost cutting even for the price they are offering, after 95% localisation. VW T-ROC is 21 lacs, whereas Kushaq top variant is 17.6 lacs. If they launch Montecarlo it won't be less than 19 lacs. Kushaq which is made in India with so much localisation and still pricier doesnt justify MQB platform. Its just another product of Skoda. Nothing gr8 about it.
