The Kushaq is my pick for its compact turbocharged EA211 engine with direct injection, producing 178 Nm from just 1,750 rpm, ideal for city and highway torque demands. It pairs with the reliable Aisin 6-speed torque converter, offering smooth shifts and minimal turbo lag. Built on the MQB-A0-IN platform, it ensures structural rigidity, crash safety (5-star GNCAP), and tight handling. Features like ESC, EBD, hill-hold, and brake disc wiping are standard. The CAN-based ECU network allows precise diagnostics and firmware-level control. It’s a car where German engineering meets Indian adaptability, efficient, safe, and mechanically sound.

Within 15 lakh budget, my favorite car is skoda kushaq 1.0 : Why this car is my favourite and also I own this one: 1. Drivability + Steering Feedback: In curve areas like western ghats, you must drive this car to feel the thrill it gives, the handling and pickup in lower gears is simply other brands within this budget can't provide. 2. Build Quality: The strength in the door, the assuring sound when you close the door, gives confidence to passengers. 3. The pickup in this car even though it is 999 cc engine is good eNough, thanks to its over engineered engine. After all every road is filled with vehicles Now days, you need to drive within 100 days even in highways 4. Coming to the mileage, I have achieved 20 km per litre when I drive for mileage in high gears mostly in highways, being said that, I have also seen mileage 10 or 12 km/l when I drive for fun in same highway, so mileage depends on driving. 5. It has good seating comfort, very good space for passengers, my mother likes the passengers seat.

My Skoda Kushaq is refined and eager and I average 13–15 kmpl. Engine is smooth, cabin feels solid. Service bills are higher than hatchbacks. The roof and visibility are fine; overall a grown-up compact SUV.

Kushaq is fun to drive, especially the 1.5 TSI engine. The cabin is spacious, and the touchscreen and ventilated seats are useful features. Ride quality is decent, but the suspension can feel stiff on rough roads. Overall, a great choice for those who want a premium compact SUV.

Well I like my car, the Skoda Kushaq 1.5l Monte Carlo edition. For the price, it's a great engine and drives very well. It has its little niggles and misses out on a few features but I think it's a great value for money car. I think that the value for money proposition keeps going down as one goes higher in the price bracket for cars so for what it's worth it's a great car.

Currently, the Skoda Kushaq is on my mind because of how it drives and handles, even while being a very practical family car. It perfectly balances the characteristics needed by both a driving enthusiast and a family person

Skoda Kushaq stands out as my personal favorite for several compelling reasons. What immediately impresses me about the Kushaq is how it marries European styling and robust engineering with features tailored specifically for Indian driving conditions. The design is bold yet understated, capturing attention without being overly flashy a balance that appeals to those who appreciate subtle sophistication. Performance-wise, the Kushaq excels with its refined engine options, especially the 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre TSI petrol motors, both of which deliver peppy acceleration and strong mid-range torque.
