kushaq ranks third for city driving but if highway is more then kushaq 1.5 DSG would move up. strong highway car if your usage is more balanced

kushaq is a good choice right now, they are running 2 to 3 lakh discounts on 2025 model which makes it very attractive value for money

1 liter engine in kushaq is like a crap engine, same displacement as alto K10. for 15 lakhs budget at least go for a 1.5 liter engine like XL6 or honda elevate. dont fall for flashy features in a car with such a small engine

have kushaq sportline and facing recurrent issues of brake noise, unusual hard suspensions, chucking noise in cabin. engine is good but even for 10 mileage you need to drive very softly else you end up with 7. also company failed to resolve my issue of registration in wrong variant category even MD refused to provide proper resolution. be aware of these issues

4/5

the kushaq with 1.0 TSI engine and 8 speed automatic is the recommended option. good mileage for the engine size and a solid choice overall

Neel Mittal•22 Dec 2025

3/5

kushaq with 1 liter engine can be vibration prone and feel underpowered at times. when same engine is in kylaq it feels great but in kushaq its a bit underwhelming

Vineet Sharma•8 Dec 2025

3/5

kushaq 8 speed torque converter has higher maintenance cost. skoda turbo engine requires more upkeep and lacks long warranty coverage

I am planning to upgrade to a new vehicle and am confused between the Skoda Kushaq 1.0 MT and the Renault Duster 1.3 MT. Which one should I choose?

Without knowing any further requirements, or your budget, it's hard to make a definitive recommendation. However, all things considered, the Renault Duster 1.3 turbo petrol MT is the better overall package than the Skoda Kushaq 1.0 TSI MT. For one, just the power alone is considerably higher in the Duster 1.3, and in fact, it's more than even the Kushaq's larger 1.5 TSI has on offer. Thereafter, the two SUVs are closely matched - both have excellent handling, both offer good space and comfort in the front seat, though it's only average in the rear seat, and both are now well equipped. However, the Duster edges ahead in two areas - the first being boot space, which is a massive 518 litres, compared to about 385 in the Skoda. And the other is ride comfort - while the Kushaq is good, the Duster is even better, delivering a ride that is comfortable, stable and solid feeling, all at once. Thus, overall, the Duster 1.3 Turbo is the better choice.

If I have to choose between the Honda Elevate AT, Skoda Kushaq 1.5, and Kia Seltos IVT for a family of four, with most of the driving being within city limits (around 40 km daily), which one would be the best option in terms of long-term benefits and lower maintenance costs?

Go for the Honda Elevate CVT, which seems like the best fit among these three for your needs. It's not quite as spacious as the Kia Seltos, but for a family of four, there's more than enough space. And it's not as exhilarating as the Skoda Kushaq 1.5 TSI to drive, but it's still quite enjoyable and far more fuel efficient for your usage of roughly 40km per day in the city. While all three cars have decent warranties, with the ability to extend them for a fee, but Honda offers a unique 'Anytime Warranty' which lets you extend in increments of 1-year/20,000km for up to 10 years. Plus, Honda is known for its reliability and rock-solid after-sales experience, which should give you the best overall long-term experience. The downside is that the Elevate is a bit plain and not quite as well equipped as the others, but then it is also considerably more affordable. Your next best bet is the Kia Seltos, but be prepared to shell out a bit more money for spec.

I own a Ford EcoSport Titanium diesel manual transmission 2015 model. I would like to upgrade to a new automatic petrol car. Please suggest a car that has very good build quality and has a 5-star safety rating. I stay in Hyderabad and need to go through bumper-to-bumper traffic. I have heard of DCT/DSG heating problems in heavy traffic, so I am considering a torque converter, CVT, or wet-clutch DCT. I am not sure if this is the correct decision, but I need a good, durable, and efficient automatic transmission that is smooth in slow-moving traffic. My usage is 70% city and 30% highway, so highway performance, stability, and good handling are also important. I am also looking for a car I can keep for 10-15 years, so durability and relevant features are important. I am not looking for very high-end tech, but I do want useful safety and comfort features. I also considered a 7 seater so that I can use the third row for luggage room, or occasionally, when my family members grow after a kid's marriage, maybe we would use the third row seating for a city outing. However, I am also fond of good boot space. So, not able to decide here. My budget is 25 lakh. Can you please suggest a car that is strong, safe, robust, and reliable in the above budget?

Go for the updated Skoda Kushaq 1.0 TSI with the new 8-speed automatic. It has a five-star crash rating, a robust build, and a smooth 8-speed torque-converter automatic, along with good stability and handling for your 70:30 city–highway mix.Your bumper-to-bumper driving will benefit from the torque-converter’s low-speed smoothness, avoiding the DCT/DSG heat concerns you mentioned. It is a five-star safety-rated car with six airbags, ESC and ISOFIX mounts for long-term peace of mind. Highway stability is confident at triple-digit speeds, while 188mm of ground clearance and a 385-litre boot keep it practical. For 10-15 years of ownership, the 1.0 TSI engine is tried and tested, and the automatic is a safer bet than dual-clutch units. Do opt for the maximum extended warranty available.The one thing you give up is advanced driver assistance. The Kushaq doesn’t offer ADAS features like adaptive cruise control or lane-keep assist, so keep that in mind.If you genuinely need a third row, consider the Mahindra XUV 7XO instead. It is also a five-star safety-rated vehicle and uses a smooth-shifting 6-speed automatic. However, fuel efficiency from the petrol engine in the city will be lower, and its larger size means it is not as easy to drive in traffic.During the test drive, crawl at 5-10kph with the AC on to judge smoothness from the gearbox, and also do an 80-100kph highway run.

I am planning to buy a car with a budget of 15-17 lakh. My average monthly running is 1500 km. I have short-listed the Grand Vitara Zeta mild hybrid variant. I am a car enthusiast, and I love driving. I am looking for a car with low maintenance costs and high comfort on long drives. Have I made a good choice, or can you suggest a better option? Thanks.

The Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Zeta (O) MT is a good choice that meets most of your needs. It comes in under Rs 17 lakh, and its excellent fuel economy should be good for your relatively high running of 1,500km per month. This is a Maruti car, so maintenance will be easy on the pocket too, estimated at Rs 4,000-6,000 per service, which happens at 10,000km intervals. It's reasonably comfortable too, with a well-sorted suspension.The only downside is the driving dynamics, which aren't geared to enthusiastic driving. While the chassis is well-engineered, the steering feels light and slow. Most of all, though, the 105hp petrol engine isn't particularly exciting, tuned as it is for fuel economy.For a more engaging drive, consider the Skoda Kushaq, though bear in mind you'll only get a low-spec Signature 1.0 TSI MT variant at your budget, and it won't be as good as the Maruti on running costs.

My budget is ₹23 lakh. I am confused between the Skoda Kushaq facelift 1.0-litre Monte Carlo, Skoda Kushaq facelift 1.5-litre Monte Carlo, and Skoda Kylaq Signature Plus 1.0-litre TSI. My running is 1,500 to 2,000 km per month with a 70:30 city-to-highway ratio. I need performance, stability, good suspension, and peace of mind with good drivability. Can you suggest which of the three will be value for money?

If you are not constrained by budget, the Skoda Kushaq 1.5 Monte Carlo is the one to buy. It offers the most performance and has the power to excite. The DSG gearbox is also quick when you drive enthusiastically. Like the other Skodas, handling is fun, and high-speed stability is confident. Ride comfort is on the firmer side, though, and of the three options, it is actually the Kylaq that has the most comfortable ride quality.
