Skoda Auto India is very soon going to announce the price of the Kushaq. The SUV is expected to be priced quite competitively, thanks to the high level of localization. If you ask us, we are placing our bets on the Rs 10 lakh to Rs 16 lakh (ex-showroom) price bracket. Makes sense? Do let us know your price expectations for the Skoda Kushaq?
The soon-to-be-launched Skoda Kushaq will be up to 95 percent localized. Not only this, but the Kushaq will also be the brand's first made-in-India SUV. The Kushaq will be marking the debut of Volkswagen’s highly localised MQB AO IN platform and with the high level of localisation, there is a good possibility that the Kushaq will be priced quite aggressively. The exact figures will be out soon, so keep watching this space for all the info.
The soon-to-be-launched Skoda Kushaq looks quite premium. Upfront, the SUV gets the brand's signature butterfly grille along with black vertical slats and a chrome surround as well. Then you have the all-LED headlamps with integrated LED DRLs. Moreover, bits like contrasting skid plates, stylish-looking 17-inch alloy wheels, silver-coloured roof rails, integrated rear spoiler and also, wraparound LED tail lamps come together and make the Kushaq a good-looking car, to say the least.
Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and also, the Nissan Kicks happen to be the prime competitors of the Skoda Kushaq. Apart from this, the newest Skoda on the grid will also go up against the likes of the MG Hector and Tata Harrier in the segment. As the Kushaq will be competing with such big names, pricing will play a key role in deciding its success in the Indian market. Stay tuned for the updates!
According to Skoda, the Kushaq SUV's name is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Kushak’, which means a ‘King’ or an “Emperor’. Also, it is quite interesting to note that KUSHAQ starts with 'K' and ends with 'Q'. This is very much in sync with the nomenclature of some of Skoda's other vehicles like Karoq, Kodiaq and Kamiq. So, will the Kushaq be able to justify its royal name? Only time will tell!
Good morning ladies and gentlemen! It's Monday today but fret not! Skoda is ready to beat your Monday Blues with the launch of its all-new Creta, Seltos rivalling SUV, better known as the Kushaq. The vehicle was officially unveiled in India a few weeks back and we have recently driven it as well, so almost everything about it except for the pricing is already known.
