Trending Questions on Skoda Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I currently drive a Fiat Linea T-Jet Plus that I purchased in 2011. A comparable car with similar features and ride comfort now costs around ₹25 lakh. I’m looking to invest ₹12–15 lakh to purchase a new car to replace my Linea T-Jet Plus. I don’t need a sunroof or ADAS, but I want an automatic (not AMT). I drive myself, mostly alone, within Bangalore city and occasionally on outstation trips. My monthly average running over the years has been about 1,000 km.
I’m planning to upgrade to a sedan with a good seating height and without a clutch. My monthly usage is about 500 km in the city, which has heavy traffic and many potholes. My priorities are mileage and driving comfort. I’m not sure if an EV would be a good choice. I considered the Tata Harrier EV, but dropped the idea after learning about multiple issues. My budget is around ₹25 lakh.
I am looking to upgrade my car and have the Kushaq 1.5 and XUV 3XO GDI in mind. I want a fun-to-drive car with a good automatic for Bengaluru traffic. Should I wait for the Kushaq facelift or go for the XUV?
The Skoda Kushaq 1.5 TSI DSG is the more fun car to drive and would be our pick between the two models you’re considering. Skoda hasn’t announced a launch timeline for the updated Kushaq, but an early 2026 launch is expected. The facelifted model should get styling tweaks and a few feature upgrades, making it worth the wait.
I’m planning to buy a third car but torn between the Mercedes GLA (luxury) and the Škoda Kodiaq (premium and larger). I already have a Honda City 5th Gen and a Toyota Hycross Hybrid. Which one makes more sense to buy?
A Skoda Kodiaq is better equipped, more spacious, and it is more powerful than the Mercedes GLA petrol. A Volkswagen Tiguan R Line is also something you can consider, which is a bit sportier to drive than the Kodiaq, and now with huge discounts, is a tempting option.
My budget is ₹11 lakh. I want a petrol manual car with good safety and features. Which car should I go for?
The Skoda Kushaq in the Signature variant and the Mahindra 3XO AX5 are both great options. Both have scored a full 5 stars in the BNCAP crash tests and are enjoyable to drive. The Mahindra 3XO is the better five-seater thanks to its wider cabin, while the Skoda Kushaq offers a much larger boot.
I want to purchase a new car with a budget of ₹13 lakh. I need an automatic for 90% city driving, and I want safety, good mileage, and an SUV-like feel similar to the EcoSport (no Tata or Maruti). Which is the best option?
At this price range, your best bet is the Skoda Kylaq Signature+ AT. It's got a tall, SUV-like driving position and a smooth 6-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox. Skoda Kylaq safety rating is 5-star from Bharat NCAP crash test. Skoda Kushaq mileage is 19.68kpl (official), but in our real-world tests, we achieved a more conservative 11.03kpl.
My budget is 20 lakhs. Most of my drive is bumper to bumper traffic in city for about 30 km daily. Go for a trip of 1200km once in 6 months. I need an automatic vehicle with features like 360 camera, ventilated seat, good music system. Please suggest some vehicles?
The Skoda Kylaq is a good option for city use. The gearbox is a torque convertor which is the smoothest auto box to have. It's also decently equipped with ventilated seats.
I am looking to buy a petrol automatic SUV (compact or midsize) with a torque converter or CVT transmission, mainly for city driving. My budget is around ₹15 lakh. My priorities are safety, comfort, and features. What are the best options?
For a little over Rs 15 lakh (on-road), you have multiple midsize SUV options like Maruti Victoris, Grand Vitara, Honda Elevate, Skoda Kushaq, all of which feature the type of automatic you're looking for. However, if your budget is capped at Rs 15 lakh max, then consider the Mahindra XUV3XO AX5 AT, which delivers strong and punchy performance. The Maruti Brezza is also a good, efficient option, but its performance isn't as strong as the Mahindra.
I am planning to buy a car in the ₹12 lakh range and was considering the Kylaq. However, I realized it’s a bit smaller, so I can stretch my budget up to ₹16 lakh and am considering the Kushaq or Taigun if a decent variant fits in that range. We are a family of four (husband, wife, and two kids) and prefer an automatic.
I’m looking to buy a car under ₹10 lakh (on-road). My priorities are: 1. Safety 2. Comfort It should be a 5-seater family car suitable for me (height 5’11”). I plan to drive 3,000–4,000 km on highways within 3 days. Cruise control would be a plus. I’m confused between the Nexon and Kylaq, as they seem to be the best options I’ve found. Please suggest if there are better choices. I plan to keep the car for 10 years.
