Overview
- Priced between Rs 10.69 lakh and Rs 18.99 lakh (ex‑showroom), the refreshed Kushaq comes in five trims—Classic+, Signature, Sportline, Prestige and Monte Carlo—with bookings open and customer deliveries underway.
- The 1.0‑litre TSI now pairs with a new Aisin 8‑speed torque‑converter automatic or a 6‑speed manual, while the 1.5‑litre TSI continues with a 7‑speed DSG; claimed ARAI economy stands at 19.66 km/l (1.0 MT) and 19.09 km/l (1.0 AT).
- Cabin upgrades include a 10.25‑inch digital cockpit, a 10.1‑inch touchscreen with Google’s Automotive AI companion (Gemini), wireless smartphone connectivity, a panoramic sunroof on higher trims and a first‑in‑segment rear‑seat massager.
- Safety and ownership remain central, with a retained 5‑star Global NCAP rating, six airbags standard from the base Classic+ variant, and Škoda Super Care offering a 4‑year/100,000‑km warranty with roadside assistance plus corrosion and paint coverage.
- Early road tests report the new 8‑speed AT shifts smoothly and improves everyday drivability, with quicker performance than the outgoing 6‑speed AT, though reviewers note firmer low‑speed ride, some NVH, and slower kickdown response.
