2026 Skoda Kushaq DCT variants and the Sportline
The DCT variants use the 1.5-litre TSI engine, which makes 150PS and 250Nm. It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DCT). A DCT uses two clutches to pre-select the next gear, which gives quick shifts. It is offered on the Sportline, Prestige and Monte Carlo.
| Variant (1.5 TSI DCT) | Old price | New price | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sportline | Not offered at launch | Rs 16.99 lakh | Not applicable |

| Monte Carlo | Rs 18.99 lakh | Rs 19.19 lakh | Rs 20,000 |
The Kushaq Sportline DCT was not part of the range when the facelift launched in March. At that time, the 1.5-litre engine was limited to the Prestige and Monte Carlo. The Sportline DCT now sits at Rs 16.99 lakh. That puts it Rs 1.10 lakh above the Sportline automatic and about Rs 2 lakh below the Prestige DCT. It is also Rs 80,000 below the Prestige 1.0-litre automatic.
The Prestige and Monte Carlo DCT cost Rs 20,000 more. The Monte Carlo DCT is the most expensive Kushaq at Rs 19.19 lakh.
