The Skoda Kushaq offers buyers two turbo petrol engines. The bigger 1.5-litre engine obviously offers more muscle and even gets a fancier autobox. But that also means a fatter price tag.
Skoda Kushaq Pricing (Ex-showroom Delhi)
1.0 TSI - Rs 10.49 - 15.79 lakh
1.5 TSI - Rs 16.19 - 17.59 lakh
But with our experience of the smaller 1.0TSI in cars like the Polo, the Rapid and the Vento, even with the slightly lower tune, we’ve come to really like the way it performs. It’s a peppy engine that packs a little more punch than you expect and in a light car like the Polo, can be a lot of fun to drive too. But the Kushaq, at 1185kg, adds more weight (approximately an extra passenger's worth) to the equation. Just how much does this make a difference in the real world and can the 1.5 TSI add enough oomph to the mix to convince you to shell out the extra Rs 1.8 lakh?
