Another concern is the seat height. I like to sit tall like in a chair with my height, 6' 2", and love the tall seating position of tall vehicles - Creta/ Seltos, XUV 500, Innova etc provide me the tall comfortable sitting position. Hope the seat height adjustment provides enough range to sit tall. S-cross did not provide me a comfortable sitting position with the low height of the vehicle. Any idea idea about steering adjustment, whether it provides reach adjustment as well along with tilt ? I am confused on whether to book Creta DCT now, considering there is a 4 month waiting period and cancellation charge, or hope my fears would not come true. I am more inclined on European build quality and DSG gearbox from Skoda/ VW. Last edited by PatienceWins : 19th February 2021 at 16:43. | |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() The new way defined by manufacturers ( Covered drive, interior look, designer speak, sketch release, R&D speak...) of auto reviews see a revolt in main stream journalists.. ![]() ![]() If the boot space of Kushaq/Taigun be anything less than 400l ( in spec. sheet), it will have many prospective customers looking elsewhere for sure. |

| ![]() Given that Kushaq is a re-incarnation of the kamiq in many sense, it should come with a 400l bootspace, expandable with the seat adjustment |

| ![]() The design language may not look butch or intimidating but it has its own charm and appeal. If they manage space well and give sliding second row, it would be great. Skoda's cars from octavia and above are extremely spacious while rapid etc are not so much relative to the segment. So, can't comment on skoda's space management skills. If this king -- like suv can manage a good safety rating and realistic pricing, I will definitely prefer this, to the koreans. |

| ![]() As much as the heart wants to buy a Skoda, am really worried about the maintenance cost. I hear that 90% of the parts will be produced locally. Does that mean spare parts cost will be comparatively less than that of Rapid? |

| ![]() In theory yes and this is exactly is what VW and Skoda are promising. But would have to wait and see how it pans out on the ground. |

In 2014, got my Diesel Polo clutch plate, pressure plate and bearing changed. Paid almost 28,000 for this. Last month, got clutch plate, pressure plate, bearing, flywheel and master cylinder changed and paid around 35k for this. A similar job in 2014 would have cost me easily around 55k. So a net price reduction of around 36%. If someone goes just for clutch plate, pressure plate and bearing, needs to pay only around 16k to 18k. A saving of almost again 36% and room for further saving based on your relationship with SA. Also came to know new bumpers and all cost only around 1500 excluding tax and paint. Which is again a great saving than earlier. Interestingly the quality of bumpers is almost the same. I think these new prices for the quality of product we receive are amongst the best in industry now. Last edited by steadfast : 4th March 2021 at 10:10. | |

The after sales track record does not give confidence. The new management and india focussed strategy is good news. I see that there is no service centre in bangalore east. The only service centre in Whitefield area is closed temporarily. The best strategy is to wait and watch instead of taking the plunge right away. The initial niggles will also get sorted out, as is the case with any new vehicle produced locally. Last edited by PatienceWins : 4th March 2021 at 10:09. | |

Let's see, anyways, price has to fit my budget first. Which I don't expect to be honest. Lowkey hoping it does not fit my budget so that I can avoid the dilemma. | |

If Kushaq is being launched in June( test drive/ delivery), Taigun will be available only in October. Škoda Kushaq shows off its interiors and layout through sketches: Shows ample room for the rear passengers. Boot space( volume) is the only mystery so far ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Quote:

Looks like the AC controls are all touch based, some might find it inconvenient. I do. Last edited by cuboid : 4th March 2021 at 10:54. | |

| ![]() Love the simple but classy interior, except for the body colour tone. Hope that isn't the case. Wish Skoda would start giving choices for the interior colour combinations, would be a first in this segment if at all they do. The steering wheel design also looks neat.
