Skoda Kushaq Problems | Pros & Cons | Should you buy?

Skoda kushaq problems is what we are going to discuss today and since it's launch Skoda has suffered a lot of complaints and this has not changed much today but is it true that it comes with a lot of problems and these problems are major ones and it could hinder the ownership experience if you are planning to purchase this car?
I drive the Skoda kushaq 1.0 l TSI manual transmission also the all new 1.5 litre TSI dsg gearbox to tell you all about the car this includes the drive performance overall handling balance and the ride quality in rough terrains.
Volkswagen taigun is the other option that you have and this car also is built on the same platform so in terms of safety this car performs really well like other Skoda and Volkswagen cars and in terms of minor accidents Kushaq will keep you safe.
Skoda kushaq is finally here and this is one of the most anticipated cars from the Volkswagen group with the new platform specification for India a lot of things can change for Volkswagen and Skoda in India.
Skoda and Volkswagen have work really hard to reduce the cost of this spare parts that was a major concern for all the previous customers from Skoda and Volkswagen.
Since Skoda Kushaq is specifically made for India a lot of things are robust and designed to handle the rough trains in our country this includes it design which is not very wide to cut through traffic is also make set much easier to handle the car and traffic also the Skoda kusha stands for king in Sanskrit that says a lot about how important the Indian market is for Skoda Kushaq.

I have 1.0 Ltr Automatic and I am impressed with the driving experience and braking is too good and steering feedback is very satisfying and smooth. Only missing feature I found is auto ORVM is not there in the top model and goggle holder is not there which are required very often. The stuff on the roof is not sturdy it sinks when you press it.

[@ShadowQ8486]

Very honest, real-world opinions. Will help a viewer decide about a car knowing all issues it has. The only irritant in this video is the head-mounted camera which moves around too quickly for comfortable viewing.

The feeling of 1.5 gets too low that you feel that it would cutoff is because the technology shuts down 2 cylinders automatically to improve efficiency

Your opinion is respected bro as it is yours.. does not matter. Negative points were repeated and were personal not generic. Ex: I see kushaq as mini suv in some angles but again that does not change the fact . I have fiesta ZXI petrol, and still feel the build quality is way more than cars nowadays. But as I am planning to buy a new car I can’t help but buy. It’s same with food, craft and every other things, quality declines.

Instead of the owner driving for 3 to 4 years and then finding his/her car is no good like suspension, ratting sounds, squeaky sounds etc, better to disclose it upfront at a holistic level and save valuable hard earned money for Indians.

How much mileage you have got?

[@ghoshprameet]

As a first time buyer, I watched multiple reviews from ex VW buyers and all of them have complained about the drop in quality in Kushaq and Taigun. Been said that, as a new buyer who doesn't have any base reference, 7-9 months waiting in Kia and Hyundai is a big No No for most of us. Also some Hyundai showrooms are running a scam of pushing customers to buy 1-1.5 lakhs of accessories to reduce the waiting period. In my case they even refused to give the test drive. Why will a customer buy a car in the Rs 15-20 lakh segment without a test drive. I found Maruti's positioning much better with 2-3 months of wait but with much better showroom experience.

It’s front two wheel disc and rear drum brakes.

[@richiedoss1]

Let me tell you brother I am using Skoda for the last 5 yrs and have never faced any issues either with reliability or service. The folks are good if you treat them with respect. Normally a customer walks in with lots of anger and in such cases they would behave otherwise. As far as safety is concerned this car has been rated for child and adult safety at 5 no other car in that segment has got that rating. As far as timeless design is concerned it is still a very good design when compared to other brands that just give u cosmetic looks and then you find that the tail lights don’t work after a certain time. I would urge anyone interested in European cars to go for it. As far as safety is concerned companies now have shed some weight yet maintained the integrity of the car. One can’t say it is not of the same build quality as the ones earlier. These are my views and I have owned mutilple cars and by far Skoda is the best car I have owned and value for money in my opinion.

Sahi m Kushaq m all disc breaks hai... Pr manual m only front m hi disc and rear drum break hai

[@Mirror_of_Truth]

Why so-called-reviewers starts comparing VW Brand cars with their old models. I guess in current scenario, the best analytics would be to compare these models with other brand's models offered in this same price range.. No one can go back in the past to get the previously available quality products (atleast new ones) People are confused as to which is better product in current time - Like Creta/Seltos/Astor/Kushaq/Taigun/ (or upcoming ones) Hyryder/Vitara (Compare only Petrol if Kushaq and Taigun is in the list as they are offered in Petrol only). A typical family user doesn't quantify stuffs so minutely, all they want is Hassle free life Smooth ride Good Family Comfort Safety Mileage (This is something that vary from person to person) Interior Quality is something you can't quantify .. all that a typical under can differentiate is the FIT and FINISH .. so focus on that Looks (Matters to family esp kids) Minor initial lags are rather good as no one want that initial power in a bumper to bumper traffic leading to mishappenings. A typical family user won't think of him/her self as michael schumacher. PERIOD !

Great Review Boss. Very honest, Non Biased & straight from the heart sharing. Kudos. Agree with you they have compromised on Build Quality so Reliability will always be doubted. You are spot on you to be safe you have to invest in full extended warranty because of apart from Spares their Services or Labour cost is also high when compared to competition. Everybody employs Indians in their Workshops yet they charge you 1.5Xor 2X times or maybe Euros equivalent which I am yet not been able to digest. Service Stns are just interested in Milking Customers because of Big Global brand. There is always a fear of investing in European Cars. If by chance due to bad luck you get a faulty piece you had it. Yet find someone who is one more than Satisfied with Ownership Experiences.

[@autocritic]

Thank you for your support brother 🙏

[@picklefun]

Not sure I agree with the comment here. I have a hyundai verna and my partner owns a Vento both diesil, my personal observation is that, Verna has smoother engine but very expensive on service, 2 times in a years+ something has to be changes every years. Overall Vento has lesser service cost to my Verna. Yeah I just bought Kushaq style, wanted to upgrade from sedan and find Hyundai expensive on service. Also hyundai service have this attitude problem due to busy service centres.

[@rajoosolanky780]

@@picklefun All India Hyundai ranks No.1 in Quality of Services among all Co's. My brother owns Verna Diesal since launch & till date he has not experienced any problems with performance, Major parts and experienced best Quality of Services at affordable Pricing. When compared to our friends Vento's Servicing costs is almost Double.

[@picklefun]

@rajoosolanky780 Looks like you are a hyundai salesman 🤣🤣🤣. Dude, I still own my Verna. Kushaq is my second car. And I can say for sure, hyundai is expensive service, only using it because of the diesil mileage. But 100% it is expensive in service. Vento is definitely cheaper in service. Take both the service history and check and prices in detail. Verna has a half yearly service requirement which cost 12500/- each service. Compared to Vento which is an annual service, charges 10k. Hyundai parts also are not cheap. My strearing knurlings were damaged, it costed me 9k change. Recently my shocks were off and I was billed 25k+ service charges. I do company service only.

[@SadabandA]

I guess your view has changed post gncap on security

[@rohitkindo7457]

With utmost respect I would like to disagree with you. 1. Looks are subjective. 2. I think recent 5 star safety ratings clears your doubts about safety. 3. Boot space is practically adequate. The number doesn't tell you everything. Take a look at MG Astor. It has boot space of 420 litres, but practically you cannot keep anything and I mean it. 1 trolley and you are done. 4. Reg. Mileage I cannot comment, I think you would be a better judge but I assume 13-15 in city and 18-19 in Highways.
