About

The Skoda Kushaq Active Peace is a well-rounded compact SUV that offers a lot of value for its price. It is powered by a 1.0 TSI petrol engine that produces 109bhp and 175Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed manual transmission. Despite being a base variant, it retains key features such as a spacious interior with ample legroom, a comfortable ride, and a robust build quality. The Active Peace variant was introduced to counter the microchip shortage, hence it lacks an audio system and some other features, but these can be retrofitted later. Safety features include standard items like dual airbags and ABS, although some advanced safety features are missing. Overall, the Kushaq Active Peace is a great option for those looking for a reliable, comfortable, and feature-packed compact SUV without the hefty price tag.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Skoda Kushaq Active Peace is a compelling option for those seeking a budget-friendly entry into the compact SUV segment. Despite being introduced as a response to the global microchip shortage, this variant manages to retain many of the features that make the Kushaq appealing. The lack of an audio system and some other amenities is mitigated by the option to retrofit these features later. My experience with the Kushaq Active Peace has been positive, with its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and robust performance from the 1.0 TSI engine. However, reliability concerns, although alleviated by good dealership experiences, still linger. Overall, its a solid choice for those who prioritize space, comfort, and a decent driving experience without breaking the bank.

Price

The Skoda Kushaq Active Peace is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price starts at Rs. 9.99 lakh, making it an attractive entry point for the Kushaq range. When you factor in additional costs such as insurance (around Rs. 24,000), registration (Rs. 70,000), and other minor expenses like cow cess (Rs. 600), the on-road price comes to approximately Rs. 11.46 lakh. This pricing strategy is clever, as it makes the Kushaq Active Peace more accessible to a wider audience while still offering a comprehensive package. The option to add back missing features like the audio system for an additional Rs. 30,000 is also a consideration, but it doesnt significantly alter the overall value proposition.
