Skoda Kushaq [2021-2023] User Reviews

Review after driving 250 kms Positives: Kushaq is nice to drive and feels modern and robust. Overall driving dynamics, ride, steering controls and sharp turn handling is class-leading. Feels too safe and pleasure to drive. All important security features that we use and are mandatory for safe driving dynamics at 18 lac on-road makes it the best choice. Skoda & VW group team has done a great job! The great levels of refinement and engineering that you get from this one litre engine is frankly pretty impressive. Unique 2-spoke steering wheel (from Superb, Octavia) Kushaq though has 385 litre capacity, it can easily fit the same baggage as Creta/Seltos which claims 400+ litres. Carbon Steel paint finish looks very nice, upmarket and premium. - 6-speaker audio system is surprisingly crisp and with a decent subwoofer. Cons you can live with : The steering feels a bit too light even at high speeds and could've weighed up better for more responsive feel though controlling it is precise. Yes, hard plastics - but that doesn't bother me. The rear seat is best suited for two passengers - again who would prefer a 3 people for a long journey. Cons that are really missing: Rear disk brake. Digital instrument cluster. No 6 air bags other than 1.0 MT - this is illogical and stupidity. Yes, priced 50k to 70k on the higher side - but performance, safety features (even in base models) and the driving experience of both 1.0 and 1.5-litre TSI variants somewhat justifies the price. I highly recommend Skoda Kushaq for those looking for premium small and powerful compact SUV for its clean design, driving dynamics, safety features and the Skoda brand.

Skoda Kushaq is totally waste of money, anyone who buys kushaq is fooled terribly. This car have serious AC issues, cooling a car takes more then 30 minutes in summers & service centre check this with their software check, which says the car's AC is compatible person is lying. Hardware like hand brake lever, arm rest, AC vents & dash board quality is too poor. The objects makes high noise with the engine vibration. Service centres don't have a solution to it. After sales service is so poor that they don't even bother to keep their brand name high, even after lots of social media posting, complaints to their HO. Too poor service. I'll highly recommend that don't purchase any SKODA product, they don't have after sales service. Very disappointing with the German brand.

Skoda Kushaq is best car in the segment. Kushaq performance, safety, looks, price is very nice , interior is very premium like german standard. Its features are very useful not like Creta and Kia which hcas useless features. 1 litre power is best in segment with a refined engine which is very smooth. Boot space practically is big in space and is very nice. Ride quality, seat comfort is best in segment.

Hands down.. it's the best and the most reliable SUV on the Indian market which money can buy. Much better than the Korean brothers, Tata and Mahindra. I hope we Indians start believing in quality, fit and finish and safety over cheap looking Chinese features and fancies. PS: I test drove almost all the Mid Sized SUVs on the indian market before writing this review.

Bought 1.0 style, experienced few negatives while driving for last 25days and after driving for 400kms Mileage in city is too low. Axle noise while driving in pits on road. AC stops working very often on low speed.

Bought Skoda kushaq in Jan 2022 and drove it almost 3000 KM already both in Bangalore city traffic and highways( did 1300 KM BNG-GOA-BNG) trip in May month. It is absolutely a gem in both city and highway driving. Its size and heaviness has little impact on its super maneuverability in taking tight corners, sharp turns and navigating through crowded roads with zero body roll. It changes its dynamics to a beast once touches highway. Excellent engine given by Skoda with very responsive steering and gear box. Hardly anyone can make out that the vehicle has just 1 litre petrol engine with 3 cylinders. The turbo just kicks in with the acceleration and a speed of 120-130+ km/h just feels like a cake walk. The driving dynamics, suspension, comfortable seating, ample leg space, a decent sun roof, excellent music system and a good air-conditioning system makes overall journey absolutely a bliss. My goa trip gave me almost 17 km/l mileage and the city rides give around 11-12. . There are still few areas to improve by Skoda around the quality of horn, noisy glass windows and very average back camera. Overall an excellent vehicle with some smart features and top of the order build quality with loads of safety features like 6 airbags, ABS, ESC etc. Simply love this vehicle.

It was just amazing. Once took a short drive. The car just felt eager to go. stability was amazing and handling was great at least for 1 litre tsi engine. Interior quality was just fine if not great. But fit and finish are of excellent level. Mileage also was quite decent for a small capacity turbo engine

Korean cars are nowhere near the quality of Skoda and VW cars in terms of Stability, Handling, Engine Performance, Build Quality which in turn contributes to most important feature needed for a car - Safety. But Sadly in India the customers will mostly go far Korean cars simply because they offer some more premium features then German Counterparts which doesn't really matter to tell the truth. Skoda Kushaq doesn't undercut on the design looks and some premium features Either . 1 litre TSI engine is having an impression like as many put it in comments here doesn't give performance but performance doesn't depends on the capacity of the engine rather it depends on the Power output it generates. VW's TSI engine is continuously getting the best engine of the year awards for the past 7 years speaks volume about the performance. Only thing which we all know is VW Group's after sales service is not up to the mark so far and if they improve on it as they say now, no doubt it will give Korean cars a tough competition in coming years.

Easy to handle, steering is sharp and smooth, best in class safety features, music system and sound is amazing, comfort and ride quality is amazing (back seat is best suited for 2 persons, but for two persons in my personal opinion kushaq is better than its rivals)
