General information and overview

The Skoda Kushaq 2021 is a compact SUV built on the MQB-A0-IN platform, specifically designed for the Indian market. It comes with two turbo-petrol engine options, the 1.0L and 1.5L, both paired with manual and automatic transmissions. The 1.5L TSI DSG variant is the highlight, offering strong performance and smooth gear shifts. The Kushaq’s ride quality is mature and comfortable, handling both city streets and highways with ease. The cabin is spacious, especially in the rear, and the build quality is generally solid, though some cost-cutting is evident in the plastics. The car misses out on a few features like 6 airbags on automatic variants and a panoramic sunroof, but its core strengths—strong engines, excellent handling, and a comfortable ride—make it a compelling choice. The Kushaq is built for long drives and daily commutes, with a focus on driving pleasure and comfort, making it a top contender in the compact SUV segment.

Our Verdict

Expert opinion and recommendation

The Skoda Kushaq 2021 stands out as one of the most engaging and well-rounded compact SUVs in India, especially for those who value driving dynamics and comfort. The 1.5L TSI DSG variant delivers a refined, punchy performance that makes highway cruising effortless and city driving manageable. The ride quality is mature and compliant, handling both urban bumps and long stretches with ease. The cabin is spacious, particularly in the rear, and the build quality is generally solid, though some cost-cutting is evident in the plastics. The Kushaq misses out on a few features like 6 airbags on automatic variants and a panoramic sunroof, but its core strengths—strong engines, excellent handling, and a comfortable ride—make it a compelling choice. It’s a car that feels built for long drives and daily commutes, though the boot space is a bit smaller than rivals and the after-sales experience can be hit or miss. For buyers prioritizing driving pleasure and comfort, the Kushaq is a top contender.

Latest Updates

Recent news and announcements

The Skoda Kushaq 2021 in India arrives as a mid-size SUV offering two turbocharged petrol engines—a 1.0-litre TSI three-cylinder producing 115 hp and a more refined 1.5-litre TSI four-cylinder with 150 hp, available with a 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic (for the 1.0L), and a 7-speed DSG automatic (for the 1.5L) gearbox. The 1.5-litre DSG combination, especially in the top 1.5 Style variant, is highly praised for smooth power delivery and refined operation both in city traffic and on highways, making it excellent for long-distance touring. The steering feels well-weighted, providing nimbleness in urban settings while remaining stable at high speeds. The suspension strikes a good balance, not too soft or stiff, aptly handling Indian road conditions including wet and pothole-prone surfaces. Interior space is generous for four adults, and the cabin features modern conveniences like a touchscreen infotainment system and digitally controlled air conditioning in higher trims, along with a panoramic sunroof in the Style variant. Boot space is 385 litres, which is a bit less than some rivals but still practical. Safety equipment is good but missing some features like six airbags on automatics and driving modes. Pricing is competitive, with the 1.0 TSI variants starting around ₹10.49 lakh and the 1.5 Style AT going up to around ₹23 lakh with discounts. Overall, the Kushaq stands out for its driver engagement, build quality, and engine refinement, although some buyers still express concerns about feature availability and after-sales service. A facelift is also expected soon with a panoramic sunroof becoming more widely available.

Price

Pricing details and changes

The Skoda Kushaq 2021 is priced competitively in the Indian market, with the ex-showroom price for the 1.5L TSI DSG variant starting around ₹19.5 lakh and going up to ₹21.5 lakh depending on the trim. On-road prices, including registration, insurance, and other charges, typically range from ₹22 lakh to ₹24.5 lakh across major cities. This pricing puts it in direct competition with the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos, both of which offer similar features and performance. The Kushaq’s value proposition lies in its driving dynamics and comfort, but it does miss out on some features that are now expected in this segment, like 6 airbags on automatic variants and a panoramic sunroof. The cost of ownership is reasonable, but the after-sales experience and service network can vary, which is something to consider. For buyers looking for a well-rounded compact SUV with a focus on driving pleasure, the Kushaq offers a strong package at its price point.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

The Skoda Kushaq 2021 with the 1.5L TSI engine delivers around 11-12 kmpl in city driving and 16-17 kmpl on highways, depending on driving style and conditions. The turbo-petrol engine is sensitive to throttle input, so a light foot can help improve fuel efficiency. For buyers concerned about running costs, the Kushaq offers decent mileage for a compact SUV in its segment, but it’s not the most frugal option available. The cylinder deactivation technology helps reduce fuel consumption during cruising, but aggressive driving will quickly bring down the numbers. Overall, the Kushaq strikes a balance between performance and efficiency, making it a practical choice for those who value both.
