Trending Questions on Skoda Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
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.
So, I have two options shortlisted in my list. One is a well-maintained 2022 Jeep Meridian Limited (O) for โน22 lakh. It has a clean service and insurance history. The other is considering a new car. Iโm someone who values driving pleasure more than outright practicality. What would you suggest for someone whoโs going to driving 60% city & 40% highway?
I want to buy a small SUV automatic (not AMT) within my budget of โน11-12 lakh. My usage is about 600 km per month, mostly in the city. My priorities are a good interior, smooth ride quality, and good fuel economy. Please suggest suitable options.
Since you would specifically want to avoid an AMT, we would recommend the Skoda Kylaq. The newly launched Classic+ variant and higher Signature trim will be within your budget.
The automatic version comes with a torque convetor gearbox which is the smoothest autobox around. The 1.0-litre engine also delivers well enough on fuel efficiency and performance.
The Kylaq's ride and handling balance is good, however it does feel jittery over low-speed bumps and ruts. If this is a deal breaker, we would suggest you look at the Maruti Brezza. It also has a torque convertor automatic, which delivers decent mileage and has a very nice low-speed ride. But, it will be slightly above your Rs 12 lakh budget.
I am looking to buy a new car with a maximum budget of โน10-15 lakh. I want a car with a 4- or 5-star safety rating that delivers a decent fuel average. My usage will be mostly on weekends, with a maximum of 500-700 km per month. I want an automatic car, but not an AMT. My shortlist includes: Skoda Kyalq Signature Plus/Prestige TC 3XO AX5L Tata Nexon Creative Plus PS Dark 7 DCA Please suggest the best option.
Unfortunately, none of the turbo petrol options you listed will be very efficient. Given your limited running, this should not be a concern.
We would recommend choosing between the Skoda Kylaq and the Mahindra XUV 3XO. Both are engaging to drive, offer strong turbo petrol engines, smooth 6-speed torque converter automatics, and a comfortable ride.
The key difference is space. The Mahindra is the better five-seater thanks to its wider body, while the Skoda offers a larger and more practical boot.
The Tata Nexon remains one of the highest-selling cars in the segment, but it is also among the oldest and is due for an update.
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?
Please suggest an automatic car in the budget range of โน10-12 lakh. My running is approximately 600-700 km per month, mostly on highways and in tier-3 cities.
The Skoda Kylaq would be a good option within your budget. The car is stable on highways, and the 1.0-litre engine delivers adequate performance. Also, the automatic gearbox is a torque convertor unit, which is the smoothest type to have.
Moreover, the Kylaq's driving manners are more fun, and very much driver-focused in the same character as your Ford Ecosport. So, this is something that you would enjoy too.
I have a budget of โน50 lakh on-road and need a comfortable 7-seater car. Which one should I buy?
There aren't many choices in the Rs 50 lakh range for seven-seater cars, but there are a few options to consider. If the third-row space is not critical and will only be used occasionally for short trips, the best seven-seater for your budget is the Skoda Kodiaq. It drives exceptionally well, thanks to a smooth and strong turbocharged petrol engine, as well as good handling.
The cabin is well-equipped and feels pretty premium, too. You could also consider the Volkswagen Tayron. It will be launched next month and is in the same league as the Kodiaq, though the price has not been announced yet.
If third row comfort and all-around space are your priority, then Innova Hycross hybrid is your best option. But, it is a step down from the Kodiaq, and Tayron. Being a hybrid, you will find it exceptionally smooth, especially when it runs in full electric mode.
Hi, Iโm planning to buy my first car, which I wonโt be driving regularly. My budget is under โน14 lakh on-road. Iโm looking for a fun-to-drive car and donโt need it to be family-focused. Iโm open to both manual and automatic transmissions, whichever is more engaging to drive and fun.
I wanted to buy a new automatic car for my sister, who is new to driving. We are confused among Nissan Magnite CVT, Skoda Kylaq AT, Tata Punch AMT, Fronx AMT, and Honda Maze CVT. Which among these is best for both city and highway drives based on gearbox and reliability? The budget is 10 to 13 lakhs. Kindly suggest.
I want to purchase a new automatic car for city driving with a budget of around โน15 lakh. Please suggest suitable options.
Since you currently have a Maruti Suzuki Baleno, we would suggest you upgrade to something like the Honda Amaze or the Skoda Kylaq. Both cars come in under 4 meters in length and so are better suited to crowded city conditions.
The Amaze's CVT automatic gearbox is smoother than many AMTs that come at this price point. Especially when driven at low, constantly changing speeds in the city and being a sedan. It will feel like an upgrade and offer you more boot space, too, should that be a requirement for you.
If you don't like the idea of a sedan, you can opt for the Skoda Kylaq, which will offer you a higher seating point and better ground clearance. Also, the automatic gearbox on the Kylaq is a torque convertor, which is the smoothest autobox around.
