Elegant Design Sedan With the Soul of Italian Sportscar

Character lines are noticeably sharp while the wheel arches are muscular and the alloy wheel designs provide a sporty yet elegant appearance to the SUV.

The fit and finish appears to be good and even the paint job is one of the best in segment.

Features in the cabin are such as a two-spoke steering wheel, layered textures, ambient lighting and premium upholstery, which all together improve the ambient of the car.

There’s plenty of room for five adults, and the legroom and headroom in the back are generous, thanks to the long wheelbase.

The boot will take 385 litres of stuff and whether it’s the weekly shop or a bank holiday weekend away, it’s fine and dandy, while the low loading lip is much appreciated.

Hair-Raising, Turbocharged Powerhouses

The Skoda Kushaq comes with two TSI turbo-petrol engines – 1.0-litre and a 1.5-litre engine.

It generates 115 PS with 178 Nm of torque for the 1.0L, with the 1.5L capable of 150 PS and 250 Nm (one of the segment’s most powerful).

It will come with a 6-speed manual, a 6-speed torque converter and a 7-speed DSG automatic as gearbox options.

And it feels planted at high speeds, while the steering feedback is direct, making it quite a hoot for driving enthusiasts.

The lightweight MQB-A0-IN platform gives good stability without any compromise on fuel efficiency, giving it an European feel with Indian pragmatism.

Safety Comes First
