Pros Cons of Skoda Kushaq

Pros

  • An engaging and spirited 1.5-litre TSI engine
  • Superb high-speed stability and sorted handling
  • Excellent five-star Global NCAP safety rating
  • Panoramic sunroof now available on top models

Cons

  • The 1.5-litre TSI does not get a manual gearbox option
  • No Level 2 ADAS tech available
  • Rearview camera quality remains grainy
  • Cabin plastics could feel slightly more upmarket in places

Verdict

The Skoda Kushaq’s latest facelift tidies up an already great package. A panoramic sunroof and massaging rear seats have given it the much-needed showroom appeal, while the new eight-speed automatic fixes the earlier low-speed drivability issues of the 1.0-litre engine. True, Skoda still forgot to pack it with Level 2 ADAS. However, for driving dynamics, it is an absolute benchmark. 

The SUV looks sharper than before, drives beautifully, and feels incredibly solid. If you value steering feel and chassis balance over an endless kit list, we can proudly say that the Kushaq is the one to park in your garage.

Seshan signs off,

“If you are looking for a car that is genuinely fun to drive and feels built to last, the Skoda Kushaq must be on your shortlist.”

Pros Cons of Kia Seltos
