Skoda Kushaq 1.0 vs 1.5 | Must Watch Before You Buy!

[@easternprestige]

This is what I call a proper road review! This is what I expect from any real world car reviews! Kudos Zigwheels for this brilliant and to the point review.

[@richsingh8947]

If be good up

[@jagdishborhade133]

In reality, Choose 1.L Auto : > If you are gentle driver who is not expecting continuous pull start from 15 km/hr… >Driving more in city with frequent start stop and low speed > More reliable torque converter… but dont consider it as others manufacturer… Its far better than them… and want to avoid less reliable DSG… costly maintenance in long run… >Affordable initial price 2L > More mileage on highways if you are gentle and speed below 100… milage >20+ easily achieved… Choose 1.5L auto > if you are passionate for power from start > more refined sound of 1.5 L Both car are equally stable at 170 km/hr… don’t judge by size of engine … its simple… you want to feel more power at higher initial cost less reliable gear box low mileage in city with very less difference for driving on highway… then only think for 1.5L ….

[@nickchhabra]

Drove the 1.5L Manual today! What a powerful surge this engine delivers!

[@akshitbhasin7322]

As someone who owns a kushaq, this is probably the most accurate description of how the car feels on KZbin. Keep up the good work!

[@santoshkiran4174]

Would like to ask you since you own it already I am confused between taking 1ltr manual top end and 1.5 ltr manual ambition. I will lose few features like ventilated seats and sunroof but taking 1.5 wud be worth that way or shud I go with fully loaded 1ltr M

Great review! The last statement says it all - “Not because you need to but you want to”!

[@nithishjvj8736]

The 1.5 is such a beast Bigger cars like the Audi A5 uses them in lower variants, same outputs too

[@adityatakkar262]

The 1.5 is worth the extra bucks any day if you really want to feel the power. Besides the engine is more refined, it makes less noise and gives more milege. If most of your drive is highway then it's definitely worth considering. In general Kushaq is safe and fun to drive car. You can feel the control. I personally choose 1.5 manual because i don't want to feel that the engine is getting underpowered as it gets old.

[@ankitnaphade9028]

what is the city mileage it is giving? and does ACT technology works in city...or only during cruise mode in highway?

[@Ramraj07Manutd]

Great video and a very informative review. I have decided to go with the 1.5 TSI AT (6AB)

I have confusion to pick whether 1.0 or 1.5 MT ..after watching this video it is very clear.. especially those last word's in the video clarified a lot. Thanks you..

[@asaravanan3180]

So what you chose

[@amigo2hundred]

But, does the DSG allows to slam gears on downshift, the gearbox on the i20 n-line doesn't let u shift until in the rpm range that is mapped into the ecu

[@mathewaugustine2698]

One doubt I have is, why all these epc problems do not come up during the extensive testing of the cars and test drives ?

[@sakthinarayan618]

Spend the same money on Taigun and you get the visible difference as well. The GT badging makes it all worth it :)

superb...short but precise...on point....

[@aajtak13]

It great video .. focuses on the needs which is one of the USPs of Kushaq.

[@harkasin]

In terms of durability, which one of 1 or 1.5 will last longer? I am a fan of keeping my car as long as possible. Have a Ford Fiesta which is 9 yrs old and 1.6L km done.

[@zigwheels]

That’s honestly a function of maintenance and driving patterns. Otherwise, there’s no one thing that’ll make the 1 last longer than the 1.5 or vice versa

[@absash7838]

I wonder if anyone else noticed the thrumm from the front suspension especially, when the car went over small but sharp undulation. I noticed this on the test drive vehicle. As if nothing existed between the cabin and the suspension.

[@durgabysandeepganguly7179]

I own one and have experienced the same thing. Although I have driven it up & down a very bumpy road, full of deep potholes few days every week.Haven’t taken it for a long drive yet to come to a conclusion. The driver side window is not functioning properly right from day 1.

[@ssundi]

Wonderful and practical review. Keep it up....

[@utubeboka2194]

Even 60 bhp are enough for city, 100bhp is more than enough for highways in India. Any more horses are just eating away your cash.

[@OMGitsPARAJ]

This mentality is the reason India doesn’t deserve fast cars like the Polo GTI or the Octavia VRS.

[@MrAnmoltiwari]

@@OMGitsPARAJ seriously man! And then we keep crying as to why vw doesnt update the polo. People here just dont want fast good cars. All they want is a tin ka dabba that takes them from one place to another cheaply.

[@pradeepm5688]

Bro.. Taigun 1.0 Topline manual vs GT 1.5 manual. Which is better in long run. For GT manual I have to compromise on some very good features. Topline has all features, but concerned about smaller engine. I am getting a good deal for both the vehicles from dealer. Onroad price of both cars is very close. Which is better? Pls suggest.

[@manishjain6907]

What deal are you getting?

[@1975agc]

No reviews of driving up a long hill trip with big load in the car. Been searching for it for a while. Nothing. I need to know if 1.0 is going to make me change to 2nd gear many times, or I can drive on 3rd with no problem

@sunny actually I have a 1.0 litre tsi style variant of kushaq and and the car is perfect according to me . Far better tha the competition for even the dips in indian roads and the engine is mind-blowing . Though I had a 1.5l ecosport earlier, I didn't felt much of a drastic change but still I found it slight better in the way it handles the dips of Indian roads , driving dynamics , engine performance etc . Plus the premium interior , stylish exterior ( the best in the segment imo ) and no nonsense approach with all the features an individual would ever use .the car was perfect for my family . The only thing I didn't like was the rear width was a little less than creta and seltos but since we are a four people family, we decided to buy kushaq . ( Note - the seat comfort is miles better than creta and seltos no matter rear seats or front )
