The SUV with the most solid build quality among all "most-selling" SUVs out there. Not just solid build but also segment leading safety features, excellent riding dynamics, sharp looks, the marvelous TSI, plush classy interiors, terrific cornering and handling.
I keep getting updates from their Insta page that Skoda is literally on a showroom and service center opening spree across India. So I am sure servicing and maintenance won't be an issue apart from the fact that Kushaq has strived for 90% localization.
The only con I felt is the width of the SUV could have been segment leading like the wheelbase which is segment-leading. The width feels like the third-person on the rear will be unwelcome. It's picture perfect for 4 passengers though.
Massive Speed Breaker Unplanned Test:
During the test drive, I was at 90+ speed and didn't notice there was a big size speed breaker hump and I really didn't have the time to brake. I just let the Kushaq go over the hump. There was a loud sound "Dhud" and I got really scared if I had damaged the test drive vehicle. But you know what, apart from the thud, the car didn't loose control even for a bit. The steering was totally in my control. No passengers felt any large jerk or a flying feeling apart from the frightening sound. This was enough of a test for me and I went ahead and booked the vehicle.
