6. Driving & Comfort

Driving & Comfort Assessment

Performance Score8.8/10
Comfort Score6.5/10

City Driving

Manual gearbox requires more effort in heavy traffic, but offers good control. Turning radius of 5.2m is reasonable for urban maneuvers. Good ground clearance for everyday Indian road conditions.

Highway Performance

148 bhp provides confident highway cruising with adequate overtaking power. Turbo power kicks in nicely at mid-range, making highway merges confident.

Ride & Comfort

Torsion beam rear suspension handles most road imperfections adequately. Cabin noise is well-controlled at city speeds; some wind noise creeps in on highways. 385L boot space is adequate for weekend trips.

"Kushaq - The Road Runner: The car is amazing. Feels like a Skoda. 1.0 L also pulls quite good enough on highways and it will never let you feel low on power in city. Mileage is a question, only 12-14kmpl is realistically achievable within City, on highways you can go upto 18-22kmpl on your driving habits. You'll always feel confident, even when driving at120+ on expressways, car sticks to the road and steering feedback is awesome. It's a comfortable 4 seater, the middle seat on 2nd row is only good for children, 3 full size adults on rear feels a bit tight for long drives. Features are missing but whatever you'll use daily are available. Fancy features are definitely missing, and if you prioritize those you'll never feel happy in this car, go for other options. On highways, it just munches miles. You can do long tourings, car will always support you. No heating (or any other of) issues faced in the past 3 years."

"Excellent From My Pov: I have been using manual version of 1.0 kushaq since last 1.5 years. I haven't faced any major issue till now. I have achieved overall 15kmpl including city and highways. For only highways between pune and gujarat the fuel economy is overall 19 to 20 kmpl till date (i use cruise control on highways). For the comfort it is pretty good for us. The parts are little bit pricey. I have purchased 5 year service package so that is a plus point for me. I don't have issue that it doesn't have ADAS because as an automotive engineer i don't feel like using it most of the times on indian roads because of road driving sense from everyone."

"Best Compact SUV In The Segment: My Skoda Kushaq is a solid compact SUV. It is spacious, powerful and fun to drive. The design looks aggressive and bold, the DRLs enhance the looks to the next level. The interiors are classy, but it does lack a few new features like ADAS and 360 degree camera.. The 1.5 litre turbo-petrol engine is super fun to drive and smooth gearbox only enhance the driving experience. It is a perfect choice for someone looking for a premium compact SUV with excellent safety features."

"My Skoda My Journey: I have a very pleasurable journey of my ownership of Skoda Kushaq. I have driven my car in good as well as bad and rough road conditions. It has never let me down nor it has compromised my safety. I have now driven it more than 29000kms over a period of 9months. I have drove it on Rohtang La. I have drove it in floods of Jaipur and around. I have covered long distances in a go upto 600 to 700kms at a stretch. All was very comfortable. The car sticks to road and maneuverability is outstanding. Mileage is definitely an issue but with the weight of the vehicle it has a full justification. The twin engine mode gives really good mileage on long distances. In winters I have achieved a mileage of even 21kmpl over 500kms journey. But yes in summer the mileage may drop to 14kmpl as well on long journeys. AC is something which needs more concentration to improve. But at the same time cooled ventilated seats help a lot. Camera is a big point. It needs modification. There are some blind spots also which makes difficult while using cameras especially on hilly terrain. Overall you can consider that I am a very satisfied customer and would never leave skoda for any other alternative in it's price range."
