Probably the base 1.5 DSG variant can brush the 17L OTR mark.
For the OTR to be INR 17L, they need to price the car at INR 14-15L. If the pricing is at that level, its going to surely be competitive. The fact that Sonnet has introduced paddle shifters, is a clue that this cars price is going to sit between Sonnet and Seltos. Even if the pricing is spot on, the last hurdle that Skoda will need to face is its perception about after sales service and cost of spares. Skoda needs to design campaign on cost of spares comparison and bring out the fact that their service interval is 15k kms, which is something that the brand has not communicated effectively on ads. The service turnaround time was well marketed by Toyota on ads.

On the homepage of my Amazon Fire Stick! Never seen this kind of marketing before. Good targeting, I'd say!

Clearly shows how much importance this particular model holds for Skoda India. For all the hard work they've put in the Kushaq, I sincerely wish success to Skoda with this.

Although SKODA India has postponed the launch of the all-new Octavia due to current situation, Kushaq's launch is going to happen as per plan so far.

Zac has confirmed that there is no change of plan - Price reveal in June and bookings in July. This is from Zac yesterday on Skoda Kushaq Club India facebook group.

Ambition variant? Body colored door handles, normal antenna, fully black rear bumper, and black roof rails are few changes I see in the video posted above. Does it also have smaller wheels with different alloy wheel design?

Earlier it was announced that customer deliveries starts in July itself. It may not happen.

Another shocking missing feature is rear wash and wiper!

It could be Active !! Because Ambition is generally well kitted in Skoda Lineup. 13 years back, Skoda Fabia had Rear Wiper as standard across the range and Ambition just missed few features like Sunroof, Beige Interiors, Projector Headlamps. But it had other features as standard.

I don't think Skoda will skip Rear Wiper on Kushaq Ambition. Touchscreen will also be bigger I guess in this variant. Style will get some exclusive features like Ventilated Seats, Premium Sound System, TPMS etc to name a few.

Re: Skoda Kushaq | A Close Look & Preview

This is a very nice car. I was considering the T-Roc and the Kushaq. I think we will go for the Kushaq in the end! Fits my requirements perfectly!
