Is this a one of case, anyone else faced the same in their TD on not so good roads. Test drives in Bangalore are short ones and its all on well laid tarmac.

Skoda Kushaq’s 1.5-Litre Turbo-Petrol Engine Could Get More Affordable.

- Skoda could make the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine more accessible by offering it in mid-spec Ambition variant.

-The mid-spec Ambition variant only misses out on electric sunroof, six airbags, wireless charging, and tyre pressure monitoring system.

As per a new RTO document, the Skoda Kushaq’s mid-spec Ambition trim could gain the option of the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine. The engine could be offered with both of the existing transmission options - 6-speed manual and 7-speed DSG (dual clutch automatic) - making the more powerful engine more accessible.

Looks like they havent managed to sell the 2 Airbag car for 21 lakhs (1.5DSG style), now that they will try to sell it for 18 lakhs with these gimmicks. Hope Taigun folks are listening to the market feedback.

Zac Hollis confirms the 1.5-litre TSI is reserved for the top trim.



Hopefully Skoda introduces the Ambition variant with 1.5-litre TSI in near future.

they will better this let alone keep up.

Im referring to the reaction time between pressing the A pedal and the vehicle deciding to downshift [Those precious moments make one feel some modern TCs are faster] [Assuming one is traveling at 50kph and wants to go faster!!!]

Maybe I had a lemon TD vehicle - :(

I also Tweet very sporadically and mostly to vent and complain, when mails and calls don't work. I do not find much use of Twitter otherwise.

Discovered yet another safety feature on the Kushaq today when handing the car over to a valet.

When kept in Auto , the fog lights come on as cornering lights when the car is turning. This provides great visibility and could prove to be quite a boon on winding/hill roads.

The Koreans don't have it, to the best of my knowledge. And I can confidently say , based on experience, that the Kushaq also has way better headlights than Seltos from a visibility perspective. Can't compare with Creta since I haven't driven it at night.

It's wise to google before making assumptions. Cornering lights are a common feature on most cars these days. XUV 500 introduced the Static Bending Lights in 2011, and the Creta had the cornering lamps in 2015. Forget these, even the Bolero has it!

Thanks for the clarification - I did go through the brochures of 2021 Creta and Seltos and could not find any mention of cornering lamps, hence my assumption

Newer Creta and seltos don't get these.

I don't find it a big deal. That said, I appreciate separate dedicated cornering lamp provided by the manufacturer (like XUV500/XUV700/Old Creta) than a fog lamps that doubles up as a cornering lamp.

My father is contemplating the Kushaq 1.0 TSI automatic. My father is a typical Skoda fanboy so he just wants to buy the car without any second thoughts. However I have some doubts.
1) - What would be the real life mileage of the Auto? That’s a big concern because my dad’s daily running is around 60kms
2)- The recent EPC issues and rattling issues and some other small issues places some concerns about the reliability of the car.
3)- The future of the Skoda brand in India, it’s a known fact that the future of skoda depends on the 2.0 models however the response hasn’t been staggering in form of numbers.
PS- We can’t buy XUV700 because of its sheer size and automatic would cross 15 lakh . MG astor is a good product but i have read an article that it’s only 50% localized so I don’t expect disruptive pricing anyomore from MG.
Some experts opinion will be appreciated.

Wow. Usually it is the other way around. Son is a fanboy and father is trying to be more balanced.
