    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.

    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.
