Auto-folding ORVMs deleted from MY2022 Kushaq & Taigun

The Kushaq and Taigun now get body-coloured manually foldable ORVMs on all variants.

Skoda and Volkswagen no longer offer auto-folding ORVMs in the Kushaq and Taigun. The feature is said to have been deleted due to the ongoing chip shortage. Instead, the SUVs now get body-coloured manually foldable ORVMs on all variants.

The Kushaq is available in Active, Ambition and Style variants, while the Taigun comes in Comfortline, Highline, Topline, GT and GT Plus trims. All MY2022 Kushaq and Taigun models are likely to come equipped with manual ORVMs.

The Kushaq and Taigun share the same powertrains. The SUVs are available with two turbo-petrol engine options. These include a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder TSI that makes 113 BHP and 178 Nm and a 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder TSI that puts out 148 BHP and 250 Nm.

A 6-speed manual transmission is offered as standard on both cars. The 1.0L engine gets a 6-speed automatic option, while the 1.5L motor comes with the slick 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
