Our take on this /// Verdict

The Skoda Kushaq Monte Carlo 1.5 TSI MT is a compelling package that combines stylish design, robust performance, and a feature-rich interior. The 1.5-litre TSI engine is a standout, offering linear power delivery and minimal turbo lag, making it a joy to drive in both city traffic and on highways. The cars handling is impressive, with a balanced ride and handling package that makes it feel planted and confident on the road. However, there are some niggles, such as the stiff ride at low speeds and the occasional hesitation from the clutch and gearbox. Despite these minor issues, the Kushaq Monte Carlo feels very accomplished and upmarket, making it a strong contender in the compact SUV segment. The addition of premium features like aluminium pedals, automatic wipers, LED lights, and ventilated front seats enhances the overall driving experience. While the pricing is on the higher side, the cars performance, safety features, and build quality justify the cost.

Price

The Skoda Kushaq Monte Carlo 1.5 TSI MT is priced competitively in the Indian market, but it does come with a premium tag.

While this is higher than some of its competitors, the Kushaq Monte Carlos superior performance, luxurious feel, and comprehensive safety features make it a worthwhile investment for those seeking a premium driving experience.

Latest Updates

Sunday, 08 September 2024 12:28 PM Skoda has discontinued the 1.5L EVO TSI manual transmission (MT) variants for the Kushaq and Slavia models in India. This move forces buyers who prefer the 1.5L engine to opt for the more expensive 7-speed DSG automatic transmission. The decision may impact enthusiasts who prefer manual gearboxes. I believe this could alienate some loyal customers who value the driving experience of a manual transmission.

Sunday, 08 September 2024 07:22 AM The Kushaq 1.5L Monte Carlo AT variant is priced at Rs. 18.60 lakh (ex-showroom) and comes with a range of features including powered front seats, ventilated seats, and an automatic climate control system. The vehicle is powered by a 1.5L TSI engine producing 147.51 bhp and 250 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed DSG transmission. I think the combination of performance and luxury features makes this variant an attractive option, despite the absence of a manual transmission.

Friday, 06 September 2024 04:05 PM Skodas decision to discontinue the 1.5L EVO TSI MT variants is speculated to be due to several factors, including the preference for automatic transmissions in the segment and the reallocation of production capacity to other models like the Kylaq. This shift could impact Skodas sales, potentially benefiting competitors like Volkswagen. I believe this strategic move might help Skoda focus on other market segments but could also lead to a loss of market share among manual transmission enthusiasts.

Monday, 02 September 2024 01:08 PM The Skoda Kushaq and Slavia Monte Carlo editions have been launched, but these new variants do not include the 1.5L EVO TSI MT option. Instead, they are available with the 1.5L TSI engine paired only with a 7-speed DSG transmission. The Monte Carlo editions feature several exterior and interior upgrades, including blacked-out elements and sporty accents. I think these editions will appeal to those looking for a stylish and performance-oriented vehicle, but the lack of a manual transmission might be a letdown for some.

Monday, 02 September 2024 06:05 AM Skoda India is banking on the new Monte Carlo and Sportline editions to boost sales during the festive season. These editions offer several upgrades over the standard models, including exterior and interior design changes. However, the absence of the 1.5L EVO TSI MT option might affect sales among enthusiasts who prefer manual transmissions. I believe these new editions will still attract a significant number of buyers looking for a stylish and feature-rich vehicle.

Mileage

Monday, 18 November 2024 09:54 PM The fuel efficiency of the Skoda Kushaq Monte Carlo 1.5 TSI MT varies based on driving conditions. In city driving, owners have reported mileage ranging from 8.5 to 11.5 kmpl, which is reasonable given the cars performance-oriented engine. On highways, the mileage improves significantly, with reports of up to 17.5 kmpl when driven with a full load. These figures are commendable for a car that delivers such strong performance. Its worth noting that keeping the auto start-stop feature switched off can impact city mileage, but overall, the Kushaq Monte Carlo offers a balance between performance and fuel efficiency that should satisfy most drivers.
