On-Road Prices in Major Cities

The ex-showroom price covers only the cost of the vehicle. Buyers must also pay road tax, registration charges, and Tax Collected at Source (TCS). All Kushaq variants are priced above Rs 10 lakh, so a 1% TCS applies. Insurance premiums and optional add-ons like accessories, extended warranty, and service packages are extra.

Delhi

In Delhi, the Kushaq's on-road price ranges from Rs 12.21 lakh for the Classic Plus MT (base variant) to Rs 21.57 lakh for the Monte Carlo 1.5 TSI (top variant). These prices exclude optional add-ons.

Mumbai

In Mumbai, buyers can expect to pay between Rs 12.85 lakh and Rs 22.68 lakh for the Kushaq, depending on the variant. These figures do not include accessories or service packages.

Bengaluru

The Kushaq costs between Rs 13.25 lakh and Rs 23.51 lakh on-road in Bengaluru. Karnataka's higher road tax rates make Bengaluru the most expensive city among the five for purchasing the Kushaq.

Chennai

In Chennai, the on-road price for the Kushaq ranges from Rs 13.17 lakh to Rs 23.36 lakh. Buyers can choose to add accessories and service packages separately.

Kolkata

Kolkata offers the most affordable starting price for the Kushaq, with the base variant at Rs 12.27 lakh and the top-spec Monte Carlo 1.5 at Rs 21.79 lakh. West Bengal allows payment of road tax for 5 years instead of the standard 15 years, reducing the initial cost.

On-road prices are indicative and may vary due to insurance, local taxes, and dealer discounts. Buyers should confirm the final price with their local Skoda dealership.

Kushaq Facelift Features and Specifications

The Kushaq facelift introduces a refreshed exterior, including an illuminated grille, slimmer LED headlamps, new fog lamps, and a redesigned bumper. The profile remains similar, with new alloy wheels as the main change. At the rear, a connected LED taillamp cluster and illuminated logo add a premium touch.

Inside, the Kushaq now offers a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, an updated 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with AI assistant, a panoramic sunroof, and a rear seat massager. Safety features include 6 airbags, electronic stability control, rear view camera, parking sensors, hill hold control, electronic differential lock, and traction control.

The Kushaq is available with two turbo-petrol engine options: a 1-litre engine with manual and automatic transmissions, and a 1.5-litre engine paired with a dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The Kushaq competes with models like the Renault Duster, Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta, Tata Sierra, Honda Elevate, Maruti Grand Vitara, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, MG Astor, and Volkswagen Taigun.
