The 1.5 litre TSI engine is the most powerful one in its class, with 150hp and 250Nm of torque. And mated to a quick-shifting 7-speed twin-clutch DSG, the Kushaq 1.5 is also the fastest. It sprints to 100 km/h from rest in just 9.54sec, making it marginally faster than the Creta and the Seltos. You can feel the extra urge as soon as flex your right foot . It takes off smoothly from rest, acceleration is strong from the get-go, and the snappy upshifts stitch together an almost uninterrupted surge of power.
