Our take on this /// Verdict

The Skoda Kushaq Ambition Classic is a compelling option in the compact SUV segment in India, offering a blend of performance, comfort, and features. While it may not be perfect, it stands out with its robust build quality, premium feel, and excellent ride and handling. The 1.0 TSI engine, although a three-cylinder unit, delivers sufficient power for most driving conditions, though it can feel a bit underpowered at higher speeds and during steep climbs. The automatic gearbox compensates well for the turbo lag, making it a smooth drive. However, some users have noted the lack of certain premium features like a panoramic sunroof and ventilated seats. Overall, it is a great choice for those seeking a well-rounded compact SUV with good safety ratings and a comfortable driving experience.

Price

The Skoda Kushaq Ambition Classic is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price for this variant typically ranges around 12-13 lakhs, depending on the location and any local taxes. Once you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other charges, the price can go up to around 15-16 lakhs. This pricing is reasonable given the features and performance it offers, making it a strong contender against rivals like the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. However, its important to note that prices can vary slightly based on the state and city you are in, so its always a good idea to check with local dealerships for the most accurate pricing.

Latest Updates

Thursday, 02 May 2024 06:27 AM Skoda India has introduced the new Ambition Classic variant of the Kushaq, priced starting at Rs 12.69 lakh for the manual transmission and Rs 14.09 lakh for the automatic transmission. This variant is positioned between the base Active and the Ambition trims, offering features like a rear wiper and defogger, 16-inch alloy wheels, and a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system. I believe this new variant will attract more buyers with its balanced feature set and pricing.

Thursday, 02 May 2024 03:57 PM The Skoda Kushaq Ambition Classic variant comes equipped with a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder TSI petrol engine, producing 114bhp and 178Nm of torque. It is available with both a six-speed manual and a six-speed automatic transmission. The variant includes features such as LED headlamps with DRLs, front fog lights with cornering function, and electrically foldable ORVMs. I think the addition of these features makes the Ambition Classic a compelling option in its segment.

Tuesday, 30 April 2024 10:45 AM Skoda has updated the safety features across all Kushaq variants, including the Ambition Classic, by making six airbags a standard feature. This move has slightly increased the prices, but it enhances the safety quotient significantly. I believe this is a positive step, as safety should always be a priority.

Thursday, 04 April 2024 02:36 PM The Skoda Kushaq Ambition Classic variant also includes interior features like black suede seats with a honeycomb design, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a cooled glove-box. Additionally, it has a rear parking camera and ambient lighting, making it a well-rounded package. I think these interior amenities will appeal to buyers looking for both comfort and style.

Friday, 15 March 2024 09:25 PM Skoda India has recently reduced the prices of the Kushaq by up to Rs 2.19 lakh, which could make the Ambition Classic variant even more attractive to potential buyers. This price drop, combined with the new variants features, might boost sales for the model. I believe this move will help Skoda gain more market share in the compact SUV segment.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 03:28 AM The mileage of the Skoda Kushaq Ambition Classic is one of its strong points. With the 1.0 TSI engine, users have reported a decent mileage of around 11-12 kmpl in city driving and up to 16-19 kmpl on the highway, depending on the driving style. These figures are quite competitive in the compact SUV segment and make the Kushaq a practical choice for daily use as well as long road trips. The fuel efficiency is further enhanced by the well-calibrated automatic gearbox, which ensures smooth power delivery without compromising on fuel economy.
