Kushaq :Everything you want to know about ADV News, Photos & Exclusive stories.

<p>Several major automakers, including Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, and Kia, will increase the pricing of their cars in January 2025. Skoda India has also joined the list, with a 3% increase in the cost of cars including the Slavia, Kushaq, and Kodiaq from next month.&nbsp;Similar to many other automakers, the price rise is due to growing input costs and total operations expenses. However, it's worth noting that the recently launched Kylaq is set to be excluded from the price increase till it surpasses 33,333 bookings. Buyers can currently buy the SUV at its introductory pricing (Rs 7.89 lakh-Rs 14.40 lakh, ex-showroom). For reference, the Kodiaq is priced at Rs 39.99 lakh, while the Kushaq costs Rs 10.89 lakh. The Slavia, on the other hand, retails for Rs 10.69 lakh. These are starting and ex-showroom prices.</p>

<h2>New Skoda Kodiaq India Debut Soon</h2>

<p><img alt="Skoda Kodiaq" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/07/2024-Skoda-Kodiaq.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The all-new Skoda Kodiaq is expected to debut in India at the upcoming Bharat Mobility Show in New Delhi (January 17-22). However, the SUV will most likely hit shelves in our market around the April-June quarter of next year. Globally, the Skoda Kodiaq is available with a range of powertrain options, but the India-spec vehicle will most likely feature the same 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine, delivering 187bhp and 320Nm. It boasts a 7-speed DCT automatic transmission combined with all-wheel drive (4X4).</p>

It is also equipped with C-shaped wraparound LED taillights, a redesigned bumper, and new alloy wheels. Additionally, the SUV gets an upward-sloping lower window line near the C-pillar.</p>

<p>Features-wise, the updated Kodiaq will likely include&nbsp;a 10.25-inch digital driver's display, a heads-up display, a 13-inch touchscreen, wireless phone charging, and a panoramic sunroof.

Skoda Slavia, Kushaq, Superb, and More to Get Costlier From January 1

Following major automakers like Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, and Kia, Skoda India has also announced a price hike across all its models from January 2025.

<p>The Automotive Research Association of India, or ARAI, has certified Skoda Auto India's 1.0-litre TSI petrol engine. Certification has been given to both the manual and automatic transmissions. The Czech carmaker&nbsp;is among the first few OEMs&nbsp;to obtain official E20 certification. For the uninitiated, this unit powers&nbsp;the Kushaq SUV, the Slavia sedan, and Volkswagen's Taigun SUV and Virtus sedan.&nbsp;The engine can produce 114bhp of maximum power&nbsp;and 178Nm of peak torque. A six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed torque converter automatic gearbox can be paired with this&nbsp;mill. First seen on the newly released Kushaq Onyx AT, the new E20-compliant unit&nbsp;will soon be available on all&nbsp;1.0-litre TSI Skoda models&nbsp;to come off the Chakan&nbsp;assembly line.</p>

<h2>What Skoda Has to Say</h2>

<p>E20 petrol is essentially&nbsp;a combination of 20% ethanol and 80% petrol. Commenting&nbsp;on the occasion,&nbsp;Petr Janeba, Brand Director, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/skoda/">Skoda Auto India</a>&nbsp;said,&nbsp;'Along with making cars that lead in driving dynamics and safety, efficiency, and sustainability have also been at the centre of our product and production practices. TSI technology has been time-tested and proven for efficiency and emissions while being effectively powered. We have evolved and adapted this technology to various updates in standards and policies across the globe. The 1.0 TSI especially, with its 3-cylinder turbo configuration tuned for power and efficiency is a versatile powertrain, and the E20 certification is a testament to this. We are confident of a similar outcome when the 1.5 TSI is tested, later this year.'</p>

The unit puts out 250Nm of peak torque and&nbsp;148bhp of maximum power.

On the mechanical front, the car&nbsp;is powered by a 1.0-litre&nbsp;three-cylinder TSI turbocharged petrol engine. For the uninitiated, the Kushaq Onyx version was first introduced by the Czech carmaker last year but was limited to the&nbsp;manual gearbox.

Skoda Kushaq, Slavia Get Discounts of up to Rs 2.50 Lakh in May

The Skoda Kushaq is eligible for discounts of up to Rs 2.50 lakh, while the Slavia sedan qualifies for benefits worth up to Rs 1.50 lakh.

<p>Czech automaker Skoda has announced an update for the Kushaq SUV and the Slavia sedan. As a part of the update, the Kushaq and Slavia will now be equipped with six airbags as standard across all variants. This feature was previously available only with the higher variants, but now, buyers will stand to benefit from this update. Meanwhile, the base-spec variants earlier featured only frontal airbags.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The move to enhance vehicular and passenger safety&nbsp;comes months after Skoda introduced&nbsp;ambient footwell illumination and powered driver and&nbsp;co-driver seats in the&nbsp;top-of-the-line variants of both models. Moreover, the mid-spec Ambition variants, which used to offer a smaller&nbsp;8.0-inch touchscreen, are now&nbsp;home to&nbsp;a 10.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The display uses the latest software and UI (user interface). However, it misses out on a rotary dial that allows users to&nbsp;adjust the volume.</p>

<p><img alt="Skoda Slavia Safety Airbags" src="/uploads/2024/04/Skoda-Slavia-Airbags.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>Post this&nbsp;update, the prices of the Kushaq stand between Rs 11.99 lakh and Rs 19.79 lakh, whereas the Slava is priced from&nbsp;Rs 11.63 lakh to Rs 18.83 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom. The entry-level variants of both models now reflect a price increase of Rs 10,000 to Rs 35,000. The Skoda Kushaq and the Slavia are two of the&nbsp;safest vehicles in the Indian market with a 5-star Global NCAP rating. The former comes in Active, Onyx, Ambition, and Style trims, whereas the latter is available in Active,&nbsp;Ambition, and Style versions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Apart from six airbags, both models offer&nbsp;multi collision braking system, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), brake assist, electronic stability control, and traction control. Moreover, an&nbsp;ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) suite with a 360-degree camera is likely to arrive on the facelifted Kushaq and&nbsp;Slavia.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Skoda Kushaq, Slavia: Powertrain</h2>

<p>Under the hood, the Kushaq and Slavia get&nbsp;two powertrain options&nbsp;– a 1.0-litre TSI&nbsp;and a 1.5-litre TSI petrol engine. The 1.0-litre petrol unit belts out&nbsp;114bhp and 178Nm of torque, whereas&nbsp;the more powerful&nbsp;1.5-litre engine makes 148bhp and 250Nm of torque. Transmission duties are handled by&nbsp;a six-speed manual, an automatic torque converter, and a seven-speed DSG.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Skoda's Comment</h2>

<p>Petr Janeba, Brand Director, Skoda Auto India, said,&nbsp;"Safety has always been intrinsic to the Skoda DNA. We were the first brand to score&nbsp;full 5 stars for adults and children under the Global NCAP tests. Our emphasis on safety embodies our Human Touch approach and underscores our focus on being a family brand. We always offered frontal airbags in our base variants and six in our higher variants, each as safe as the other. As part of our MY24 updates, we now offer six airbags across all variants of the Kushaq and Slavia. We are always listening to our customers and shall continue to provide relevant upgrades and significant product actions within our product portfolio and our variant line-up."</p>


Skoda Kushaq, Slavia Become Safer in India, Now Offer 6 Airbags as Standard

The prices of the Skoda Kushaq stand between Rs 11.99 lakh and Rs 19.79 lakh, whereas the Slava is priced from Rs 11.63 lakh to Rs 18.83 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom.

<p>Skoda India&nbsp;is gearing up&nbsp;to roll out several significant changes&nbsp;for its Slavia sedan and the Kushaq SUV. Both&nbsp;models in the firm's portfolio&nbsp;are essential to its&nbsp;India 2.0 strategy and have been a success in the market so far. Notably, under Global NCAP's new crash test program, the&nbsp;cars have also been awarded a five-star safety rating.&nbsp;However, a range of rival cars&nbsp;have obtained larger market shares over time as a result of the abundance of amenities. To keep up with the trend, the Czech manufacturer&nbsp;will integrate advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) into&nbsp;the facelifted models along with&nbsp;several other&nbsp;feature updates.&nbsp;Brand director for Skoda, Petr Janeba, agreed that the company needed to catch up in terms of features and reaffirmed that facelifts and interim updates would be used to close this difference. A 360-degree camera, which is currently missing from both models, is one of the expected enhancements.</p>

<h2>Skoda Kushaq, Slavia Facelifts: ADAS and Other Feature Updates</h2>

<p>Given that competitors like Honda, Hyundai, and Kia already have this technology, the lack of ADAS Level 2 in Skoda's midsize vehicles has been noteworthy. The ADAS tech is currently available on the Honda City and Elevate, the Hyundai Creta, the Verna, and the Venue, as well as the Kia Seltos and Sonet. The carmaker&nbsp;will thus be providing facelifts with this crucial active safety feature to aggressively compete&nbsp;with the rest of the popular models&nbsp;in the country that have been mentioned&nbsp;above. For those unaware,&nbsp;the company does not currently provide ADAS in any of its cars in India&nbsp;except for&nbsp;the Kodiaq SUV, which retails for Rs 39.9 lakh (ex-showroom) for&nbsp;the top-of-the-line L&amp;K variant.</p>

<p><img alt="Skoda Slavia Logo 1 " height="720" src="/uploads/2023/12/Skoda-Slavia-Logo-1-.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>Apart from the ADAS level 2 features, Janeba also alluded to further feature improvements for the Kushaq and Slavia. He mentioned that there will be more limited editions and features coming soon, including a 360-degree camera.<br />
<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/new-skoda-compact-suv-to-launch-in-india-in-march-2025-heres-what-to-expect-116303/">The maker will also&nbsp;introduce a brand-new sub-compact SUV to the Indian market soon.</a> It is expected to go on sale in March 2025. The competitors for this upcoming model will include&nbsp;the Hyundai Venue, the Kia Sonet, the Tata Nexon, and the Maruti Suzuki Brezza.</p>

<h2>Skoda Kushaq Explorer Edition Breaks Cover</h2>

<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/skoda-kushaq-explorer-edition-revealed-with-off-road-ready-upgrades-116306/">A new&nbsp;Kushaq Explorer edition&nbsp;was recently revealed&nbsp;by Skoda.</a>&nbsp;The features of the compact SUV's special&nbsp;edition (based&nbsp;on the Style trim) are included in an accessory package. However, the cost of this model has not yet been disclosed by the firm. Interested customers can opt&nbsp;to purchase any&nbsp;of the&nbsp;accessories&nbsp;from the dealer, or they can buy them all at once, if and when this version of the SUV&nbsp;goes on sale.&nbsp;The car has an orange tow hook mounted to the lower portion of the bumper and&nbsp;Ultra Mile 44 all-terrain Bull off-road tyres in the front and back.</p>

<p><img alt="Skoda Kushaq Explorer Edition Rear 1 " height="720" src="/uploads/2024/02/Skoda-Kushaq-Explorer-Edition-Rear-1-.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The exterior of the model&nbsp;has been given rugged, outdoor-inspired styling components. A roof rack with auxiliary LED lights, an&nbsp;all-black front grille, and blacked-out&nbsp;ORVMs&nbsp;are a&nbsp;few of these. This&nbsp;version has a matte green paint job&nbsp;with contrast bronze accents such as&nbsp;side claddings, front bumper, and rear spoiler. Moreover, the all-black alloy wheels are fitted with off-road tyres.&nbsp;The&nbsp;interior layout is the same as the standard Kushaq, but it has a few more&nbsp;amenities like a 360-degree camera, rear sun shades, and a head-up display. The dashboard panel, centre console, and door pads all sport the same matte green paint scheme as the exterior.</p>

<p>The Explorer edition will come with a 1.5-litre&nbsp;turbocharged petrol mill&nbsp;and a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged unit, as it is built on the Style trim. While the former&nbsp;produces a peak torque of 250Nm and 148bhp of maximum power, the latter&nbsp;puts out 178Nm and 114bhp.&nbsp;Both engines come with a six-speed manual transmission as standard. Further, a&nbsp;six-speed torque converter automatic transmission is available for the 1.0-litre&nbsp;engine, whereas a seven-speed DSG automatic transmission is an optional pairing for the 1.5-litre engine.&nbsp;</p>
