Are the AC cooling issues reported on the Kushaq a dealbreaker?

I’ve had my Kushaq for a year now and to be honest, the AC has been fine. It's not the coldest I've ever been in, but it does the job even in Delhi summers.

The AC issues are real and they are a big problem. Already twice I’ve had to take my car to the service center. In this price range, it is disappointing.

I don't think it's been blown out of proportion. It's not as freezing cold as some Japanese cars, but it's fine. In extreme heat people need to give it time to cool down.

I know this because I live in Chennai and it just doesn't have the AC to handle really hot days. Neither is it a dealbreaker for me, but it's definitely an area Skoda needs to improve.

I was concerned about this before purchase and my 2024 model does not have any AC issues. Perhaps Skoda have sorted it in newer batches?

AC performance is ok, but not great. I thought a European car would be better. While it’s not a dealbreaker, it’s certainly a con to remember.

I believe it’s all about your expectations. If you’re coming from a car with a super powerful AC, you might be underwhelmed. It's perfectly fine for me, though.
With the car's size and weight, how does the Kodiaq's 1.5 TSI engine cope?

At first I was skeptical, but the 1.5 TSI does a decent job. It's no rocket, but it'll get you about town and on the highway with ease.

If you're not in a rush it's fine but it won't last long fully loaded or on steep inclines. I hope they would have kept the 2.0 as an option.

It’s a marvel of engineering. You can get so much power out of 1.5 liters these days. Even on long trips, it’s never felt lacking.

It's a compromise. You’ll get better fuel economy, but you’ll pay for it in performance. It’s underwhelming if you’re used to more powerful cars.

I believe it’s fine for most people’s purposes. It’s not going to win any drag races, sure, but how often do you actually need to push your family SUV to the limit?

The turbo helps, but there is no substitute for displacement. I test drove the 1.5 and 2.0 versions, and there is a difference. Went with the 2.0 in the end.

It's all about expectations. It is great if you are looking for a fuel efficient family hauler. If you like something sporty or need to tow, look elsewhere.

I find it pretty intuitive. Most functions are easy to access and the screen is responsive. In my case the integration with Android Auto works flawlessly.

It's a bit of a mixed bag. A few features are great, but others are buried in menus. I hate using touch controls for that and it’s annoying not having a physical volume knob.

I was impressed coming from an older car. I’ve been using it for a bit now and there is some lag and occasional glitches. It’s nothing major, but it can be frustrating.

In fact, I like it better than my wife's BMW system. It's simpler and cleaner. The virtual cockpit is a game changer for navigation, plus.

It's not bad, but it's not class leading. Hit or miss voice commands and I wish the screen was angled towards the driver more. The overall result is that it gets the job done.

As a tech geek, I love it. Many customizable features. I can see how it could be overwhelming for those less tech savvy.
