2021 Skoda Kushaq vs Hyundai Creta vs Kia Seltos : Which mid size SUV is best | Review | evo India

[@evoIndia]

Would you pick the Skoda Kushaq over rivals like the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos?

[@mejoe66]

Sure😍

[@Explorer_indy89]

Anyday

[@1205shyam]

Are you serious, you call a front wheel drive, hatch back style crossovers as "MIDSIZE SUV".

[@DayInLifeFinance]

Respectfully, also as a Creta owner, the Creta did not give birth to the segment, the Duster did. We should always appreciate that.

[@yusufchadkhan4731]

Correct

[@arvindfluidic]

Duster was a proper 4x4 SUV. Whereas Creta is not and that's where Creta gave birth to new SUV segment.

[@gauravdevrani4298]

Technically the ecosport did...yeah Duster came first but Duster looks like a proper SUV rather than a compact SUV.....Eco sport was the starting of boom in that compact SUV(hatchback on steroids) segment....sadly it got left behind With hyundai doing exactly what Maruti failed at.....pinching the weak pulses of Indian buyers and giving them wholesale features and demanding 1.5 times the price of what the car is actually worth just due to features that are gimmicky. Coz Maruti can't afford to increase the price by even 50000 but Hundai successfully managed to increase it by lakhs. To put it into perspective the base model of creta is around 12 lakhs and the top model is around 22 lakhs which means that the price difference of options in the top model and base model is almost closer to the price of the base model car which is quite shocking.

Agree and the XUV remains the Boss whether it's the mid size/pseudo SUVs and Full size SUVs combined

Is the Kushaq significantly better in handling than seltos? Especially in terms of steering feedback.

Evo is probably the first to take the 1.5 NA petrol engine in the Koreans seriously 😅 Evo stands out

[@vaibhavprakash7977]

Skoda Kushaq is the best car in this segment. Much better than Seltos and Creta in terms of power. Stability at high speed, no body roll, mileage. Very strong build quality, and if I talk about maintenance cost, that too is well-taken care of in this model. The yearly maintenance cost is around lesser than my previous car(Swift).

[@hemant2469]

What's your current car?

[@dieselpreetsingh9544]

I would prefer Kushaq.

[@frontmate]

No replacement for displacement ! The winner is Skoda Kushaq 1.5 Tsi manual 😁

[@venky26]

KIA SELTOS HAS EVERYTHING ..RELIABLE ENGINE, GREAT VALUE AFTER SALES, HOT EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR , PREMIUM SYSTEM AND SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE IS NICE ... ONLY BUILT QUALITY SUCKS IT

[@meetmohanat]

yes ..with that 3 star build quality and weak after sales support..seltos would be bad choice for the money spent..

[@bhaveshnagdev69]

It's Kia India fault for build quality , seltos in other countries has good quality and in some countries it's cheaper with good quality (I don't if it because of taxes in other countries but still cheap is cheap)

[@insertgoodusername8138]

1:17 you can bend a bit and check the exhaust.. I'm pretty sure the 1.5 has dual tip exhausts..and even on the inside, the 1.5 has the auto stop start button if I'm not wrong😄

[@ravishankars6707]

Believe me , a 1.5MPI is more robust, More refined and easier to drive and maintain than a microscopic 1.0GDI turbo. You also don’t miss much of the performance and mileage too in most cases Indian customers are not wrong in their thinking and there is no replacement for displacement

[@pals4ge]

TF.. where is Taigun? You already left the best one

[@NeophyteCounsel]

I love the fact that skoda offers a Manual with their potent engines. Should become standard practice across the board with the kind of weather & traffic we live in. DCTs though fun on straights aren’t always reliable, not so much fun into corners, good ones cost a ton to manufacture and having to babysit them is so counter intuitive! Those stupid IMTs & AMTs need to go away from anything that’s advertised “sporty” & especially north of 17-18L OR!! That said would love to see OEMs turn to employing better Torque Converters on premium offerings as well just like BMW.

[@evoIndia]

We love a good manual!

[@ArunSDass]

The title of the video should have been "3 Cars people wont buy, but we are enthusiastic to sell". Seriously, I don't understand the point of bringing into the comparison the petrol Creta and Seltos. Do people even buy them? The sales volume in this segment is dominated by the diesel models (At least for the two). If Skoda can't offer a diesel, it is their problem. Making a 34 Min long video won't solve it.

[@shivprasadsarangi2281]

At 3.12 seconds of the video , you have mentioned a wrong information about the 1.5 tsi engine. It actually produces 148 hp's with a torque of 250 nm.

[@arijitchaudhuri8518]

Why are you giving wrong specs for the Kushaq 1.5 L engine? It is 1498 cc and not 1353 cc 3:12 . The power figure shown is also wrong.

[@NaveenKumar-zx2ml]

I chose skoda since I am having skoda rapid & creta …skoda is the best but u should be ready for expensive maintenance & low resale value … but it’s driving experience & suspension is best … value for money

Hey team lovely video! Slight correction, @ 33:06 it's Kia Seltos* and I guess the variant you have tested for this video is HTK+ instead of HTX mentioned , so that's a little mistake 😅 Nonetheless, a great video as expected by team Evo!

[@anadjayan3025]

As a seltos and a creta owner....I would recommend seltos only... having driven more than 10k kilometers both vehicles... seltos is the best ...tats my opinion ...and my experience....

[@sndybht]

Kushaq has built-in air purifier.

[@muralimohant.d.2200]

Donot go for DSG if you are from metro cities. Keeping the driving dynamics of DSG and reliability in stop and go. Uphill issues, jerking at low speeds. Torque converter is more reliable. Though it’s little less fuel efficient , but that is the way. DSG though it’s responsive, in sedate driving, it behaves weird, it holds revs during uphill ascent beyond 3000 rpm. DSG is designed for performance, but You don’t do racing every time

[@avinashvenkata3170]

Finally a nicely balanced review without giving away too many platitudes. This is a whiff of fresh air.

[@erodethottakalai8487]

Skoda kushaq🔥

[@wheelspins]

Just one question. Does Kushaq drive and feel like a typical Škoda? I haven’t driven one, but had seen the car. Honestly, the Fabia, Polo, Vento and Rapid got better fit and finish. Thus, the question.

[@ashwink6567]

10 year old car has better finish than Kushaq ? Have you ever sat in it ? You need to sit in it and drive it before making assumptions

[@wheelspins]

@@ashwink6567 Read my comment again before making assumptions.

[@sharukhkhan-be5pl]

just compare the rear wiper of kushaq with rear wiper of polo ull come to know how cheap it looks on kushaq

[@harshitbansal5802]

Doesn't feel like a typical Škoda. The doors don't feel as heavy as they typically are in a Škoda in the terms of the quality. After test driving the Kushaq we straight away went to check out the Troc. The Troc's doors felt as if they completed a day's workout. But, in terms of the ride quality, interior, driveability, engine and everything else. The Kushaq surely scores amazing points.

[@wheelspins]

Alright, so it’s safe to assume the watered down MQB-A0-IN is only to satisfy the first time VAG buyers, sadly these folks are going to be the flag bearers of VW-Škoda in the coming years. I just wish VAG won’t do a blunder.

[@technofilian]

I think if your budget is over 17.5-18 lakhs, Creta 1.4 turbo SXO is the car you should get. It's more value for money. At around 20 lakhs, you get electric seat adjustment, panaromic sunroof, bose 8 speakers sound system , 6 airbags and a good capable turbo charged engine (though Kushaq's 1.5 is better). But if your budget is around 17 lakh then Kushaq 1.0 style MT is an easy pick. Kushaq's 1.0 engine is better than 1.5 of Creta. You get 6 airbags as compared to 2 of Creta SX, 7 Speakers as compared to 4 of Creta, telescopic steering and ventilated seats. Yes, you get standard sunroof as compared to Panaromic in Creta.

[@evoIndia]

Well said!

[@monjena]

After completing the spiti trip we are stuck in Manali from past two days..our 4months old Mahindra Thar got towed due to some OBD Check Lamp warning from Batal, Spiti..the car is not able to pull beyond 1500rpm. The Mahindra service center tried to reduce the soot mass for last 2 days and now they are saying ordering a DPF filter is going to take another 7-8days and we will have to wait for it. Also they are saying fault is with us as we didn't do Regen while we didn't get any Regen warning. They are also saying they can't share the regen data if the warning came and for how long ,even after 2 days of analysis. DPF filter costs 70k and doesn't come under warranty. Even we were ready to pay just to join office in time, but now they are saying it will take 7-8days to get the DPF filter. Go for any other SUV it is just a good looking car and will make you feel you are driving a powerful car but it is just the feeling but in reality it is unreliable

It's more good for Indian buyers if skoda could have given 1.5tsi in their lower varients. Atleast from second lowest, expected from Skoda 👍 But Kushaq 1.0 tsi also fun to drive.

When you are investing almost 17 lakhs in a car, the last thing you would want is an unreliable car. That's where the koreans shine(not perfect but yeah). When it comes to this skoda, I think they released a half baked product. Yes it drives well. But if they are very serious about India, we should not see such issues which are currently making headlines. I hope all these issues are sorted out soon.

[@vsrikanth547]

Skoda and VW group should give 1.5 tsi in mid variant for effordability to get some more extra numbers of creta sx snd seltos htx customers

[@SD_003]

My only gripe with seltos(and by extension creta as both share same platform) is on the substandard build quality. Unstable bodyshell at 20L? No Hyundai, just not done. Specially considering this was deliberately done for Indian models as Aussie model scored a perfect 5* Hope skoda gets the kushaq tested. If it performs better, it will be a massive advantage

[@dhokaianand2737]

Just to correct you, its not Creta that gave birth to this segment, its the Renault Duster that did. So it may be a creta segment for now, but was given birth by Duster.

That holds true for the DCT on the hyundai & kia as well. Any kind of modern dry clutch system will have reliability issues if not driven properly. Yes VW & Ford had bigger problems in their 1st gen twin clutch systems, but that is a thing of the past. Post 2017 the DSGs you get here are much more compliant if driven well… similar to any other DCT.

Amongst the Petrol I would definitely select for fun to drive TSI 1.5 Petrol engine Kushaq-Tiagun in Active Variant only if offered. ₹2.3 lacs extra for Ambition is expensive.

[@riteshyadav6225]

For me if it was driving feel and pleasure over anything Kushaq 1.5 manual hands down But if City traffic and features come into consideration it would be the seltos top end (with 6 airbags can’t risk safety that too when this car has achieved a meagre 3 star, 1.4 manual)

TBH the tangible difference is marginal. You spend almost 2 million on a car not just for the sheer thrill of driving. You buy this for your family and hence it has to be a comprehensive well rounded package.

Dont agree with steering being too light for Kushaq, it is light but in a good way. It doesn't feel lifeless and gives right amount of feedback. Its much better than Hyundai's which feels lifeless.

[@aranisen2606]

I thought the Ecosport gave birth to the segment? 🤔

[@cabbage123ful]

I hope the Taigun has heavier steering. Although I know it won't it's worth hoping for. Kushaq / Taigun over the Creta / Seltos. However, space and "features" (unfortunately) do matter to most Indian buyers and seating three abreast at the back is looked at by many when buying this kind of a car.

[@Rai.Hoaxer]

Is Skoda gonna update the Kushaq's Roof liner & some small glitches of the first lot cars ?

[@sjsanyamjain18]

Any news about the updated Kushaq version you talked about in this video?

[@sunandhks9011]

It wil never come bro..this is what u get. This is their India 2.0

Monte Carlo next summer

Duster is was a great car....only thing they missed the re-invention magic and got stuck in times. Else a very brave strong and punch vehicle in theire age of 2000

[@aravindsrinivasan4852]

Kushaq and Taigun are priced just based on the European brand name premium. For the price they are asking, why can't they add in the cosmetics like Creta and Seltos. Even though they are making it locally to reduce the cost. But still comparatively the price aren't to less, nor do they have the cosmetics. Obviously buyers would be tempted to go for the Korean vehicles. If VW and Skoda want to succeed in India, they should target the majority of buyers, rather it looks like they are adamant that they only need the ' enthusiast' customers. And the numbers aren't many. Gonna end up like Ford, if they don't change their strategy.

[@travelution1339]

Comparing Kushaq & Taigun to Creta and Seltos is an insult to them ( you know who).

[@rameshreddy3090]

Is there reason for not including Tata Harrier in this comparison

[@anupmeister1]

Hello Sirish and Aatish...very nice rendition of all these 4 mid size SUVs indeed. Thank you for that. Had a quick question... When Kushaq was launched about a month ago or odd, some of the new owners had raised serious concerns about it and that it even got stalled in the middle of the road and had to be towed away. It was all over in the media as well and the Skoda MD finally assured that all of it would be addressed and fixed for good. What exactly was the issue? Can you tell me so that I can make an appropriate decision if it's not so serious. And well, am not against any make, brand etc...just needed for my knowledge.. Thanks, Anup Gandhi

It's epc issue it's not major problem

[@gurudayal5743]

it does not need to beat the creata , it already has , if people start thinking right start preffering the priorities

[@zomurani2587]

Amazing detailing

Looks like you picked creta as a winner right from the very beginning good 👍👍

[@sumitnair6822]

Good part about creta is its got far better inside out and bad part they have messed up the front side. its looks as if over make up on front side. Old version creta was far more classy and sporty also. Here grill loooks tooo wide-open. Skoda has both balance inside and out.

Skoda 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Kushaq and slavia are no good due to high levels of indigenisation

[@rahulkaduskar7553]

I guess Ford Ecosport was the one which gave birth to the compact SUV segment.
