Skoda Kushaq AC compressor makes squeaky noises & leads to jerky drive

Hi All,

I have a 1 litre turbo Skoda Kushaq, Stile AT (Mfg: Jul 2022).

The AC compressor on my Kushaq makes a squeaking noise when it turns on and off. This is not the typical sound that we hear in all cars during the compressor on/off operation, but is a very peculiar squeak that is unlike what I see in other cars.
I also see that the compressor draws a lot of engine power when it turns on, so much so that it causes noticeable jerks in the first three gears or at lower speeds. Again, I have seen this happen in other cars, but not as bad as in my Kushaq.
The dealer insists that the car is perfectly fine and what I see/hear is normal operation of the compressor. He cites examples of other Kushaq cars which have the same behaviour.

Do other Kushaq owners also have similar feedback?

Thanks.
