About the Skoda Kushaq
Skoda's mid-size SUV — built on the India-focused MQB-A0-IN platform with turbo-petrol power and a five-star safety record.
The Skoda Kushaq is the brand's mid-size five-seat SUV, developed for India on the localised MQB-A0-IN platform. It is offered with turbo-petrol engines — a 1.0-litre TSI making 114 bhp and a stronger 1.5-litre TSI — with manual, torque-converter automatic or DSG gearbox options.
Praised for its solid build and engaging drive, the Kushaq earned a five-star Global NCAP crash-safety rating. Its cabin offers a clean design, a touchscreen infotainment system, connected-car features and the practical, well-finished feel typical of Skoda.
The Škoda Kushaq is a compact SUV built on the MQB-A0-IN platform, offered in five trims — Classic+, Signature, Sportline, Prestige and Monte Carlo. Two turbo-petrol engines are on offer: a 999 cc 1.0 TSI three-cylinder making 114 bhp @ 5000-5500 rpm and 178 Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual or a first-in-segment 8-speed torque-converter automatic; and a 1498 cc 1.5 TSI four-cylinder with Active Cylinder Technology making 148 bhp @ 5000-6000 rpm and 250 Nm, paired with a 7-speed DSG. ARAI fuel economy runs from 18.72 kmpl (1.5 DSG) to 19.66 kmpl (1.0 MT). Measuring 4229 mm long, 1760 mm wide and 1612 mm tall on a 2651 mm wheelbase, the Kushaq seats five and offers a 385-litre boot (491 L loaded to the roof, 1405 L with the rear seats folded), a 50-litre tank and 155 mm laden ground clearance. It scores a full 5 stars in Global NCAP with six airbags, ESC, ABS+EBD, multi-collision braking, traction control and an electronic differential lock (EDS/XDS/XDS+) standard across the range. Higher trims add a panoramic sunroof, a 26.03 cm Virtual Cockpit, a 25.6 cm touchscreen with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay and an AI Assistant powered by Google Cloud, 6-way ventilated electric front seats, a rear-seat massage function and a Škoda Sound System with subwoofer. The range-topping Monte Carlo adds black styling, sporty red accents, red brake calipers and a red-theme cockpit.

Solid European SUV, but efficiency and ADAS omissions sting
SUV · ₹10.69–18.99 lakh · Petrol
“The Kushaq delivers where it matters most: safety, refinement and build quality. Its 148bhp TSI engine is willing, and feature-rich top variants justify their price with ventilated seats, Virtual Cockpit and wireless smartphone integration. However, real-world efficiency disappoints, no ADAS exists at any price, and the base manual trim skips cruise control entirely.
How the score breaks down — weighted across 6 dimensions, scored against the segment set
✓Stands out
- 5-star Global NCAP crash rating with 6 airbags standard across range
- Strong 148bhp TSI turbo with 250Nm torque and three transmission options
- Top trims richly equipped: ventilated seats, rear massage, panoramic sunroof, Virtual Cockpit
- Wireless Android Auto/CarPlay with Google Cloud AI Assistant on higher variants
- Composed, planted European driving dynamics and solid build quality
- 4-year/100,000 km warranty reflects manufacturer confidence
!Gives us pause
- Efficiency of 19.66 kmpl trails segment norms for a petrol compact-SUV
- Zero ADAS or Level-2 driver aids at any trim or price point
- Base Classic+ manual lacks cruise control and hill-hold control
- Panoramic sunroof limited to top two trims only
- Rear seat space and 385L boot smaller than some compact-SUV rivals
