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 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class

Pros

  • Plush ride quality
  • Sophisticated looks makes it stand out
  • The cabin is very spacious and well designed

Cons

  • The Gearbox is not so responsive
  • The AMG trim is pricey

Verdict

The Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class offers an exceptionally plush ride, with a cabin that has been redesigned to align with its more upscale siblings. Perfectly sized and positioned for the Indian entry-level premium market, it provides a harmonious blend of luxury and practicality. Despite the general upward trend in vehicle prices over recent years, the GLA-Class maintains an attractive price point. Its introduction is a significant and welcome enhancement to India's entry-level premium segment, promising a blend of comfort, style, and prestige.
