Engine Performance and Drive Quality

Skoda Kushaq: Offers two turbocharged petrol engines. The 1.0L TSI provides 115 PS and 175 Nm of torque, while the 1.5L TSI boosts performance with 150 PS and 250 Nm.

• Competitors:

  • Hyundai Creta: The similar displacement engine offers slightly less torque, which might affect drive feel and acceleration.

  • Kia Seltos: Comparable to Kushaq in power but the Kushaq's 1.5L TSI edges out with higher torque for better responsiveness.

Technology Integration

Skoda Kushaq: Equipped with a 10-inch touchscreen, digital cockpit, and connectivity through the MySkoda Connect app.

• Competitors:

  • Nissan Kicks: Offers a smaller infotainment screen and lacks the integration of a fully digital cockpit.

  • Renault Duster: Falls behind in technological offerings, primarily in connectivity features, which are more advanced in the Kushaq.

Fuel Efficiency

Skoda Kushaq: The 1.0L TSI engine promises an efficiency of 17.88 km/l, balancing performance with economy.

• Competitors:

  • Maruti Suzuki S-Cross: Known for good fuel efficiency but does not offer the same power output.

  • Hyundai Creta: Very competitive in this aspect, though real-world performance can vary based on driving conditions.

Cost-Effectiveness

While the initial price point of the Skoda Kushaq might be higher than some competitors, its overall value is enhanced by comprehensive after-sales service, lower maintenance costs, and robust build quality.

• Competitors:

  • Kia Seltos and Hyundai Creta: Often have lower initial costs but may incur higher long-term ownership expenses due to service and parts.
