Our take on this /// Verdict

The Skoda Kushaq 1.5 TSI Matte Edition is a compelling choice in the compact SUV segment, particularly for those who value performance and driving dynamics. The 1.5-liter TSI engine is a standout, offering punchy performance and good driveability, whether youre driving with a heavy load or cruising solo. The suspension is well-sorted, handling uneven surfaces and bad roads with ease, and the cars confidence-inspiring driving dynamics make it a joy to drive. However, the high price point, especially for the 1.5 TSI variant, might be a deterrent for some. Additionally, the interior plastic quality, while decent, doesnt quite match the premium feel expected at this price. Despite these minor niggles, the Kushaqs overall package of safety features, comfortable ride, and advanced technology makes it a strong contender in its class.

Price

The Skoda Kushaq 1.5 TSI Matte Edition comes with a significant price tag, reflecting its premium positioning. The ex-showroom price for the 1.5 TSI Prestige AT variant in New Delhi is around Rs 18.79 lakh. When you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes, registration, and insurance, the price can easily cross Rs 22 lakh. While this is on the higher side compared to some of its competitors, the Kushaqs performance, safety features, and build quality justify the cost for those seeking a more premium driving experience. However, potential buyers need to weigh the additional features and performance against the higher cost to determine if it aligns with their budget and expectations.

Latest Updates

Monday, 03 July 2023 04:09 AM Skoda Auto India has introduced the Kushaq Matte Edition, a limited-run variant of the Kushaq, with a unique matte finish in Carbon Steel paint. This special edition, priced at a premium of Rs. 40,000, features glossy black elements on the ORVMs, door handles, and rear spoiler, contrasting with the matte body. I think this aesthetic update will appeal to those looking for a distinctive look.

Monday, 03 July 2023 04:39 PM The Kushaq Matte Edition is available in both 1.0 TSI and 1.5 TSI engine configurations, with transmission options including a 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, and 7-speed DSG. This edition slots between the flagship Style and the niche Monte Carlo variants and is limited to just 500 units. I believe this strategic positioning will help Skoda tap into a wider customer base.

Monday, 03 July 2023 01:53 AM The Kushaq Matte Edition comes equipped with advanced features such as a 25.4 cm infotainment system with Wireless Smartlink, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, along with the Škoda Sound System powered by 6 high-performance speakers and a subwoofer. This emphasis on technology should make the car appealing to tech-savvy buyers. I think these features will enhance the overall driving experience significantly.

Monday, 03 July 2023 01:11 AM Skoda Auto India’s Brand Director, Petr Šolc, highlighted that the Kushaq has been a key driver in the companys success, especially after its debut in July 2021. The introduction of the Matte Edition is part of ongoing efforts to add value based on customer feedback. I believe this customer-centric approach will continue to boost Skodas market presence in India.

Monday, 03 July 2023 04:31 AM The Kushaq, including the Matte Edition, has set a benchmark for safety with a 5-star rating in the Global NCAP crash tests for both adults and children. This safety record is likely to reassure potential buyers and strengthen Skodas reputation in the Indian market. I think this safety aspect will be a major selling point for the Kushaq.

Mileage

Monday, 18 November 2024 01:12 PM The Skoda Kushaq 1.5 TSI Matte Edition offers a certified mileage of 18.86 kmpl, according to ARAI standards. In real-world conditions, this can vary based on driving style and road conditions. Users have reported mileage ranging from 12-16 kmpl in city driving and up to 19 kmpl on highways. The Active Cylinder Technology (ACT) in the 1.5 TSI engine helps in optimizing fuel efficiency by deactivating cylinders when not needed, which is a significant innovation. Overall, the mileage is decent for a performance-oriented SUV, making it a viable option for those who need a balance between power and fuel efficiency.
