Simply overpriced, not clever pricing

Sad to see a good offering given this treatment. A good chance for revival lost.

The beginning of the end for VAG's long innings in India. A sales dud by all means! Seems the group is truly out of touch with reality!

I was looking to replace my 2015 Skoda Rapid Diesel Auto but now will wait for Taigun and check out others.
Unless the prices include 6 or 7 year warranty and 4 year maintenance package, these are very unrealistic pricing, at least for the 1.5L Auto.

I don’t see competitive pricing anywhere. This is premium pricing across the range . Would have loved if the 1.0 variants were priced 50K less

My hopes of Kushaq have gone with the winds.

Ambitious pricing and I fail to see how they can sell 3k of these in a sustained manner month on month.

May be this is for the "discerning Skoda" buyer again.

Sorry Skoda, you have killed Kushaq just by its pricing.

My friend/colleague who cancelled his EcoSport booking is now looking for other options.

There's no comparison between the base versions of the two in terms of features & safety. Also a TC engine here. I think it's aggressive pricing. The base version of Kushaq is even better than the Rs. 11 lac version of Creta in terms of both safety & features.

The only way Skoda could have carved the crossover pie for itself is with competitive pricing and they seem to have blown it big time.

As a German car enthusiast and loyalist, I'm truly disappointed with the Kushaq both as a product as well as its pricing.

[abhishek46]

The pricing is dearer by Rs 1lakh, variant to variant.

This will be a flop-on-arrival.

Overpriced by 50k-1.5k on most variants.

not a good start, and hope these are not introductory prices, cause any increase in coming months will simply make it substantially Overpriced.

With this pricing i can only say "God save the King (kushaq)"

If I am not wrong, Creta starts at 9.99 Lakhs . For cars priced at and over 10L, TCS gets added which makes difference bit more than 50K.

My booking is on hold - Final decision after checking variant details.

[buntee90]

Damn! There goes my MT 1.5 TSI dream!

I already knew it some where back of my mind but one can still hope!

None of the 1.0 AT variants are under 15L on Road. that's disappointing!

[TorqueIndia]

Not much exciting prices, seems like they want to regulate the demand or lacks capacity. 1.0AT starts at 14 lakhs, looks like we need to force them to get some affordable variants. Good luck Skoda.

Looks like they want to push more Skoda Rapid units with Kushaq launch. Official website or brochure lacks any kind of information regarding variants.

[akash_v12]

A full 1.5L more than what most expected! I wonder whether Skoda's top bosses had a beer and thought that what most would've expected to be the OTR is the best ex-showroom.

It's pretty interesting to how the Kushaq would now line up against it's chief rivals. The pricing is on the higher side and cutting too close to the Korean twins. India loves features and whilst the Kushaq might have most, this country also loves the 'badi gaari' feel and VFM. The Kushaq threw the latter points right out of the trunk now.

Still hoping that they might see some improvement in sales and VW use some sense and ensure better pricing for the Taigun.
A question which is bugging me a lot now is - If Skoda can have a car like the Rapid Rider priced at 7.9L Ex-showroom and see such demand for it, what does it take for them to understand that Indians are only wanting to buy something when there is quite a buzz around that car? Couldn't they have easily gotten away by pricing it a lakh cheaper and selling at least 1.5-2x more units than what they would?
