Hi, I am using a Duster 110 RXZ and now want to sell it and buy a new SUV. What would you suggest, a petrol or a diesel SUV? My monthly run is around 1,000 km, and I have already driven 85,000 km in 8 years. My budget is around Rs 20 lakh, and I need a good, tough SUV that can be used for very long drives.
Since your monthly running is not very high, you can opt for a petrol SUV. In the Rs 20 lakh budget, you can consider the Tata Sierra, Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Skoda Kushaq, to name a few. All three are good options and will serve you well.
The Hyundai Creta and Seltos are mechanically identical, while the Kushaq and Taigun share a lot between them. To be fair, it comes down to the design and features you prefer.
The Renault Duster is also a great option to consider, and while prices are not out yet, it is likely to be in the same range as the above-mentioned SUVs. However, our recommendation will be to wait for the new upcoming Duster.
Since you already have the older version and have a good experience with it, the new one will be worth waiting for. It has modern looks, a premium cabin and lots of features, making it a strong contender in this segment.

My query is about choosing between the Tata Sierra, Renault Duster, the new Kia Seltos, and the Skoda Kushaq. My budget is ₹20 lakh. Please guide me.
The Renault Duster will launch in March, and prices for the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine will be revealed then. From what we know, the Duster has a strong road presence thanks to its bold and aggressive design and tough demeanour. We are yet to see how it performs out on the road, so we will reserve our comments till that happens.
The Tata Sierra is a strong package with lots of character in its design and styling and a strong set of features. What also helps its case is the wide array of variants on offer with multiple powertrain options. Its strengths remain its design, space and ride comfort. If you care for these three, the Sierra is the one to go for.
The Skoda Kushaq was recently updated, and it gets new features like massage seats at the rear. However, it still remains a car for driving enthusiasts, especially with the 1.5-litre TSI engine. If you enjoy getting behind the wheel and prefer the driver's seat, the Kushaq would be a very good option. However, what it gains in handling, it loses in ride, and it just isn't as plush as the Sierra. It also misses the character and road presence of the Tata.
The Kia Seltos is a massive improvement from what it was before and is loaded with features. It also gets a host of engine and gearbox options, and the only real deterrent is its aggressive styling. If you don't mind that, the Seltos is a top choice in the segment.

I am planning to buy a new car with an automatic transmission in Kolkata. My budget is within 17-18 lakhs. I have shortlisted the new Skoda Kushaq 1.0 TSI facelift and the Hyundai CRETA IVT. Please suggest or advise which car I should go with. Or is there any other car do you suggest me?
The choice between the two comes down to what you would like in your new car. The Skoda Kushaq's 1.0 TSI engine is peppy enough, and the ride and handling balance is good. It's the one to opt for if a fun-to-drive character and safety are your priorities.
The Hyundai Creta, on the other hand, is more of an all-rounder and the better of the two when it comes to interior space. The 1.5-litre petrol engine is smooth, the ride quality is good, and the drive character is more laidback and relaxed. Thus, pick this one if it's just a no-nonsense family car that you are looking for.

Hi Autocar, you are doing a splendid job in the auto sector - congratulations to the Autocar team and thank you for your service. My query is about choosing between the Tata Sierra, Kia Seltos (new), and Škoda Kushaq. My budget is ₹15 lakh. Please guide me.
Hi, thank you so much for your kind words. Really glad you are enjoying our work.
Between the three cars, if you are looking for a car for city commutes and considering your budget, we would suggest the Kia Seltos. In your budget, you will get the HTE (O) powered by a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. The engine is smooth, refined and has enough power for daily usage and even for highway driving, it feels enough. The new Seltos too feels premium inside out, and even in the bottom or in this case mid variant comes very well equipped.
The Tata Sierra’s 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine feels just about enough for city driving, but out on the highway, it could have done with more power. In your budget, you will get only the base Smart + variant, or if you stretch by 50,000 over your budget, then the Pure variant will fit. But the Sierra in the lower variants is not that well equipped. In fact, the base variant does’t come with an infotainment at all.
The Skoda Kushaq facelift will be launched in March 2026, and if you are willing to wait, do glance at it. It will come with revised design and more features than the current car.

Dear Autocar India Team, I’m planning to buy a mid-size SUV for my father, who is currently using a Hyundai Elite i20. After shortlisting options, I am considering the Skoda Kylaq Classic Plus variant. Recently, I watched your video/article mentioning that Skoda has upgraded the AC compressor on the Skoda Kushaq to improve cooling performance. I would like to know: Has this upgraded AC compressor also been introduced on the Skoda Kylaq (specifically the Classic Plus variant), or is it exclusive to the updated Kushaq? There are also discussions about Skoda introducing a new 8-speed automatic gearbox. Is Skoda planning to offer this 8-speed automatic on the Kylaq in the near future, or will it continue with the existing 6-speed automatic? Your clarification will greatly help me make an informed purchase decision. Thank you for your time and continued insightful automotive coverage.
The update to the AC has only been implemented on the Kushaq, as it was necessary and a weak point. The Kylaq already has good AC performance and a variable geometry compressor. As for the gearbox, there is no confirmation on a new gearbox for the Kylaq, as the 6-speed torque converter suits the engine well.

Is the facelifted Skoda Kushaq 1.5 DSG Monte Carlo really worth considering? While it lacks features like ADAS and a 360-degree camera, now almost standard in many competitors, it still looks appealing. Compared to the fully loaded Kia Seltos, which one actually makes more sense as a purchase? I drive about 30 kilometres in the city daily, but will be using it for more highway driving in the future.
The new Kushaq in Monte Carlo trim certainly looks stunning, and though it doesn’t have ADAS and a 360 degree camera, we don’t think these are reasons not to buy the car if you find it appealing. Also, if you are going to be driving a lot on the highway in the future, the Kushaq with the 1.5 TSI engine and 7-speed DSG is a fantastic powertrain for high speed driving.
The Kia Seltos, as you say, is a more sensible purchase, has more space and features and is a better all-rounder. But the Seltos doesn’t offer the same joy of driving as the Kushaq, which you will enjoy with every long drive.

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.
