Asked by: Prakashon Jan 22, 2026
Please suggest a worthy mid-size safety SUV within the budget of 15 to 20 lakhs, other than Tata and Mahindra.
Since you value safety and don't want anything from Tata or Mahindra, we suggest you take a closer look at the recently unveiled Skoda Kushaq facelift. The Kushaq is a midsize SUV that's big on safety, as it gets 6 airbags and the pre-facelift model even managed a full, 5-star crash safety rating from Global NCAP.
The Kushaq facelift also gets more features than before, like a segment-first massaging function for the rear seats, and it even gets a new 8-speed torque converter gearbox option. Engine options remain the same, though - a 115hp, 1.0-litre turbo petrol and a 150hp, 1.5-litre turbo petrol.
Thanks to the punchy engines and the great ride comfort and handling balance, the Kushaq is the one to go for if you enjoy driving. Prices for the Skoda Kushaq facelift are yet to be announced, but expect them to fall within your budget of Rs 15 lakh to Rs 20 lakh.

I am confused between the Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella and the Skoda Kushaq (new facelift). Which one should I buy for better comfort? Price is not a constraint. Which is more value for money? My driving split is 50:50 city and highway.
We are yet to drive either of the cars you have mentioned, as they were unveiled yesterday. However, based on our experience with the Maruti Suzuki E Vitara, which the Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella is based on, the Skoda Kushaq should be the better option purely in terms of comfort and space.
Like the eVitara, the Ebella is unlikely to impress with rear seat comfort, and its boot is quite small. The Kushaq, on the other hand, has always been a spacious car, and it is safe to expect the new version to continue that trend. Added features such as rear massage seats, a panoramic sunroof, and the new 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster will further enhance the overall sense of premiumness.

Hi, I am planning to buy a petrol manual car with a budget of Rs 18 lakh. My dream car from my graduation is the Mahindra Thar or ROXX. But as I am married now, I am also thinking of the Skoda Kushaq or Volkswagen Taigun. Kindly please suggest to me whether I should go with the Thar or others. And one major thing is that the majority of the drive will be on hill roads and bad roads. So please suggest to me accordingly. Thank you.
If most of your driving is on hill roads and bad roads, the Mahindra Thar ROXX makes more sense. It offers higher ground clearance, a tougher suspension setup and far more confidence on broken terrain. Compared to the three-door Thar, the ROXX is also more comfortable and practical, with better rear seat space and a usable boot.
That said, the Skoda Kushaq and Volkswagen Taigun are more comfortable, practical and efficient for everyday use. They can handle mild rough roads with ease, but are not meant for sustained bad terrain. Both are also due for updates with improved comfort and added features, so it makes sense to wait a month or two if you are leaning towards either of them.

My budget is 20 lakh, and the car is for family use. My driving includes 10% peak traffic, 60% stop-and-go traffic, 30% highway. The car should be petrol. I am considering the Hyundai Creta IVT and the Skoda Kushaq 1.0 TC. I am stuck between these two because of the trade-off between safety and mileage. However, mileage is slightly more important to me. Which should I choose?
Given your usage and requirements, the Hyundai Creta 1.5 Petrol IVT is the better bet. While it hasn't been crash-tested by BNCAP or GNCAP like the Skoda has (and scored a 5-star rating), it does have all the latest safety features, including ADAS on top-spec variants. Plus, Hyundai's track record on safety has been decent, if not excellent.
This powertrain is generally more efficient than the Skoda 1.0 TSI with the 6AT, but driven carefully, you could extract good mileage from that car too. The bigger reason is your heavy traffic usage, in which the Hyundai's excellent belt-driven CVT gearbox and linear naturally aspirated petrol will feel much smoother and easier to manage.
The Skoda's 1.0 TSI, punchy as it is, suffers from a lot of turbo lag at low speeds, and the 6-speed torque-converter auto is overly eager when moving off from a standstill, which becomes tiresome in stop-and-go traffic. Besides all this, the Creta is the more spacious and comfortable of the two.

Asked by: Yogesh Patilon Jan 12, 2026
I have recently learned to drive (still a newbie), though I am generally an enthusiast when it comes to driving and travelling. I am looking to buy a new car. My driving ratio will be around 30% city and 70% highway. I am looking for an automatic, preferably a torque converter; if not, then a CVT. Also, if I mostly drive on the highway, is it worth spending a lakh or more on an automatic? The car will be used mainly on weekends, not regularly, and mileage matters. Regarding the budget, I am looking to spend around or below ₹15L. Is that reasonable? My wife prefers a bigger car, and if we spend 2-3L extra to go for a C1 segment instead of B2, there seem to be more options in that segment. But is it really worth it? After watching a few videos and reviews, I read that as a newbie, one should stick to a naturally aspirated engine rather than a turbo. How true is that? Hardly any car nowadays has a proper 4-cylinder NA engine. In the B2 segment, there are the Brezza and Amaze. Considering road conditions, if we decide to go for a compact SUV, the Brezza seems like the only option. However, compared to other cars in this segment, its interior looks very basic compared to the Nexon, 3XO, or New Venue. So, what other options can I consider? The Nexon’s interior looks good, especially in the Creative or Fearless trims, but that comes with a turbo DCT. The 3XO/Kylaq also looks decent, but I have heard it has mileage issues. All this is very confusing. If we decide to spend the extra 2-3L, which C1 segment car would be worth considering?
There are numerous factors to consider here, and a few myths that need busting. First, for a beginner driver, what really matters is an engine with linear power delivery and quick, predictable throttle response. That makes it easier to accelerate smoothly and judge overtaking manoeuvres. Not all naturally aspirated engines are inherently responsive; some can actually demand more effort in day-to-day driving.
An automatic gearbox is always advisable for beginners. It removes the need for manual gear changes and lets you focus fully on the road. Given your city-highway split, with the bulk of driving on the highway, a good torque-converter automatic is the best option. That said, some CVTs also work well on highways.
For the cars on your shortlist, we would narrow it down to two based on the size and space you’re looking for. If you’re comfortable with a compact SUV, the Skoda Kylaq AT is the one we’d recommend. The 1.0 TSI engine is very responsive and, paired with the capable 6-speed Aisin torque-converter automatic, it’s an easy car to drive both in the city and on the highway. Yes, being a turbo-petrol, it is a bit on the thirsty side, but since you’ve mentioned that the car will only be used on weekends, we assume your running won’t be very high, and the impact on your wallet will be limited.
If your wife prefers a bigger car, the new Seltos is a good alternative. Here, the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol with the CVT makes sense. While it isn’t as punchy on the highway as the Kushaq or Kylaq, it works well in the city, is more fuel-efficient, and most importantly, is available with a stretch of around Rs 2-3 lakh over your Rs 15 lakh budget.

Hi, is the Skoda Kushaq a good vehicle? Do you have any other advice?
The Skoda Kushaq is a competent mid-sized SUV that stands out for its driving experience. Its 1.0 and 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engines deliver punchy performance, and handling is also slick and fun. The Kushaq also feels tough in its build and comes with the reassurance of strong safety ratings. On the flip side, the Kushaq feels smaller than many like-priced rivals and isn't ideal as a five-seater.
Skoda will introduce an updated version of the Kushaq later this month. We expect the model to get a few styling revisions outside and more features, too. It might include a panoramic sunroof and a segment-first rear seat massage function.
The updated Kushaq will also get an uprated air conditioner that will provide stronger cooling, which has been one of the model's weaknesses since launch. While the engine options will continue as is, the smaller engine's 6-speed automatic transmission is expected to make way for a more efficient 8-speed unit.
To sum up, the Kushaq should be on your list if a fun drive experience is a priority. If space, comfort and features are important, consider the Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta and Tata Sierra.

Hi, I own a 2014 diesel Ertiga and am planning to upgrade to an automatic car costing under ₹20 lakh. I am looking for a car that is equal to or shorter in length so that it fits into my garage. My usage is around 100 km per month in the city and 2,000 km per year on highways. Please suggest.
There are multiple automatic cars that fall within your budget, however, since vehicle length is a constraint, your choices are limited to the Volkswagen Taigun or Skoda Kushaq from the mid-size SUV segment; all the other options measure more than 4.3m in length.
You could also consider sub-4-meter compact SUVs like the Kia Syros and Mahindra XUV 3XO, both of which are excellent options. Out of these, our top pick would be the Syros for its spacious boot and cabin, high-quality interiors, and lengthy equipment list.

I am looking to purchase a new car under 20-22 lacs within another 3 months. Actually, I'm a car enthusiast and love performance cars. I would be travelling within city everyday and out of the state once every 1-2 months. So, please suggest me accordingly.
The 1.5TSI versions of the Skoda Kushaq, Skoda Slavia, Volkswagen Taigun and Volkswagen Virtus, will certainly bring a smile to your face with their performance as well as dynamic prowess.
All these feel similar from behind the wheel, so pick the body style you prefer - sedan or SUV. Out of these, the Kushaq is likely to get updated in the coming weeks, so you may want to check that out before making your decision.
On the other hand, if you want a car that looks sporty, drives well, and has features like ADAS, you could also consider a Hyundai Creta N Line and Verna.

I have been driving a Honda Jazz Automatic for the last seven years. I am 6 feet tall and now want to buy a new compact SUV such as the Honda Elevate, Hyundai Creta, Skoda Kushaq, Grand Vitara, Brezza, or Taigun. Please advise which of these offers the best driver legroom so my knees are not strained. I am a retired 69-year-old.
The Honda Elevate would be a great upgrade based on your requirements. It has a spacious pedal box and a wide range of adjustment for the driver’s seat, which makes it comfortable even for taller drivers. It will also feel familiar, as it uses a CVT transmission similar to the Jazz you are used to driving. The engine and gearbox combination is smooth, making the Elevate easy and stress-free to drive. This Honda car also offers a comfortable ride quality, good cabin space and a large boot, making it a well-rounded package.
In the case of the Skoda Kushaq and Volkswagen Taigun, their updates are expected soon. Also, while their turbo petrol engines are punchy, they are not as smooth in everyday driving as the Elevate’s naturally aspirated engine paired with the CVT.
The Hyundai Creta CVT would have been a good option too, but its centre console tends to intrude and can brush against the left knee, especially if you are a tall driver.

Asked by: Pavan Kumar Mon Dec 29, 2025
I’m currently looking to buy an SUV, and I’m particularly inclined towards German-made vehicles. I really appreciate the performance and driving dynamics of the Taigun, especially its handling and power. I find the second-row space to be lacking, and the overall aesthetics don’t quite appeal to me. I’m interested in alternatives that offer similar driving performance and handling but with better space and design, ideally priced under ₹20 lakhs.
While the Volkswagen Taigun (and its sibling the Skoda Kushaq) are the only European-brand SUV options in this price range, you're right to observe that the rear seat isn't great on space and comfort. This will be partially addressed with the facelift - due in early 2026 - which is said to be introducing more rear seat features, like ventilated seats, as well as an updated interior design, which could alleviate your aesthetic concerns.
Two alternatives you could consider at this price are the new Kia Seltos, which feels larger and more solid than before, and whose 160hp turbo-petrol engine packs sufficient punch. There's also the new Renault Duster, which promises to be tough and solid like previous iterations, but which will also be more modern and refined this time, while also packing a turbocharged petrol engine.
