I am selling my Ford Figo diesel and planning to buy a new car. I drive around 400-500km in the city every month and do an occasional 1,200km highway trip once every three months. Should I buy the new Kushaq 1.5 or the Slavia 1.5? Are there any other recommendations?

Both are good choices, but if you don't often carry tall items in the boot, the Skoda Slavia is the better fit for your needs. Your quarterly 1200 km highway runs will feel easier in the sedan - it is more stable at speed, quieter, and its big boot still swallows a lot of luggage. With your 400-500 km a month in the city, the 1.5 TSI’s strong mid-range and light controls keep it easy, and the sedan’s lower shape gives slightly better mileage than the Kushaq on the open road.
The downside is that you sit lower. The Kushaq’s extra height gives you a better view out, and it is easier to get in and out of. Ground clearance is slightly better, too, but the Slavia isn't exactly lacking. If you want the same mechanics with Volkswagen flavour, look at the Virtus 1.5 or the Taigun1.5.
It's worth noting that the Slavia and Virtus are due for a facelift, which will arrive sometime this year. It will bring a revised front and rear design and a few new features, similar to what the Kushaq/Taigun got recently. If that doesn't matter to you, there may be better deals to be had on the current Slavia.

@vrk.1 I would honestly recommend the Slavia 1.5. Most of your driving is on good roads, and those long 1,200 km highway trips are where the Slavia really shines with its stability, ride comfort, and effortless cruising. The Kushaq makes more sense if you frequently drive on bad roads or want the higher seating position. If you're open to alternatives, the Virtus 1.5 can be considered too.
