Skoda Kushaq vs Skoda Rapid Comparison

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.”

Skoda has made a strong statement with the new Rapid. It's done away with the diesel engine and that's a bold step. But the renewed focus on introducing more petrol models to the line-up and giving the 4 years Skoda maintenance, assist and warranty package, just gives you a perspective of how the company wants to make the new Rapid a value for money proposition. Yes, it has bargained on features and there's no automatic available yet, but that equation will change in the next couple of months. The Rapid with the 1-litre TSI offers more bang for your buck and is probably the most fun to drive compact sedan out there.
