Skoda Kushaq 1.5 TSI DSG review: A midsize SUV for drivers
FirstpostI must confess, the Skoda Kushaq did not impress me when I first saw it at the world premiere in March. Much of this is down to the limitations of the MQB A0 IN platform the Kushaq shares with other VW Group models such as the Volkswagen Taigun and Skoda and Volkswagen’s upcoming midsize sedans. A mid-size SUV for enthusiasts Launched today, the Skoda Kushaq range starts at Rs 10.50 lakh for the base Active 1.0 TSI version, and stretch all the way up to Rs 17.60 lakh for the range-topping Style 1.5 TSI DSG. The Skoda Kushaq is easily the most fun SUV I’ve driven in recent memory, regardless of size.
