My experience taking my Skoda Kushaq off the beaten path

I suppose the key is to use the Kushaq for what it actually is: a spacious hatchback with a wee bit more GC & not an SUV.

BHPian rideon74 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I've been using my Kushaq since Nov 2021 for my frequent work trips in the Nilgiris. In fact, I've just completed my 15k service yesterday and I'm pretty sure that approx. 40% of the 15k clocked has been on the hill roads of the Nilgiris. The Kushaq's driving dynamics are excellent for this kind of usage. There is some body roll felt by the back seat passengers, but not such that they are thrown about. Since most of my work trips are done solo, I've noted that the Kushaq feels confidently planted on the curves even at higher speeds. I'm on the stock MRF Wanderers provided.

About the performance on bad terrains - well, my city doesn't seem to have any tarred roads left and the Kushaq's ride quality/handling/cabin comfort is fine. I wouldn't say it's plush but whenever I've had to go to some off road trails for my work, it certainly has handled the rough terrains quite well.
