PRICE is key word...🙆🙆🙆
If they want to grow they have to price it between 9 to 10
The future of car is primarily dependent on price comparing to seltos and creta. if it is more than both then not sure how future of this car will be
All the auto industry executives should pressurise the government to reduce fuel.prices
Looking forward to Pricing of base variant.. 1.0l turbo.. Same engine under different hood such as polo comfortline @ 7.0 lac. Rapid rider plus @ 8.0 lac.
if this is priced less than creta, can become a leader in this segment.
i love the cars made by Skoda a lot
Time to drive these nice SUV’s in İndia. Waiting for Mai 2021.
End price and mileage drives frontline in market
Hope it should be under 20L
Skoda's Compact SUV, Kushaq, is all set to make its global debut in India on March 18, 2021.
VW,Skoda are good cars but maintenance is very high still it is there compare to other cars in the same segment.skoda karoq,is a good car should be manufacture in India for cost down
Will book on the launch date if 15 Lacs for automatic variant..
The size appears to be small, somewhere similar to hyundai venue. This is not a competition for Seltos or Creta.
Price should be from 9.99lacs to 16.99 Lacs for top spec to be competitive in this segment where Creta,seltos leads
The name vision was awesome but this name KUSHAQ😟🙁
Skoda always had better products than rivals, some cult customer fan following signifies that. But its after sales service that let it down, always!
I hope that it's top model will be around 15 lakhs on road then it would be great option
Skoda and vw produce one of the best cars in the world in terms of reliability and features .
I hope it will price under 20
Expected Price?
Okk ...This car is a result of customers feedback ....means this car does not require Skoda service at all...👍👍nice
Going in an excellent positive attitude for The Indians
Where is the new octavia??
Extremely qualitative interview
Such a nuanced and measured man, Gurpartap Singh Boparai !! Spoke so well.
Over 50 % market is diesel. Please bring back TDI in new line up. Indian loves diesel engine. So bring back TDI with DSG. TDI+DSG = 5% Market value. Or else its dificult to achive on petrol.
We need Fabia to be bought back.
It should start with a price below 10lakhs
The built quality of skoda and vw is just on another level
Value for money variant should be priced at 11 lakhs, make sure it has wireless Apple car play and Android Auto and Count me in for a pre booking.
To gain market share make prices low without missing Skoda dna. Kushaq should price between 9-14 on road to compete with creta
Kushaq 1.5 TSI comes with the DSG transmission. Kushaq will definitely be a car enthusiast dream vehicle. 😎
What about octavia 4gen
Bring back Fabia
Looking forward to this car. Could be a great value for money. Let's see the pricing first and it's real performance. All the best VW Skoda group 👍👍
ooohooo bring vw taigun
Eagerly waiting for this. Thanks Autocar India.
I feels they should price it with skoda rapid and see what customer would prefer. That would be interesting.
will the 1.5 tsi also have a manual transmission?
I want 1.5 l manual
The 1 litre tsi engine is a piece of a gem and it flies like a rocket
Pricing it at ‘premium’ as in more expensive from the Hyundai twins ?
I’m waiting
Can they price aggressively as rapid rider i think no, may be after 1 or 2 years
Skoda please give full features specially big touch screen nd connected car tech & simply clever features also
Skoda and VW cars been very premium and expensive as compare to the competitors in the market, if they price it aggressively can get a good market share without compromising on the luxury that this brand provides.
Lets hope Skoda should have a great day....with the Mission India 2.0
It'll rival top variant Creta, Harrier, Seltos and entry level compass. The on road will start at 12 L entry level going up to 19L top model.
Would it come with a Panaromic sun roof.
What will be the price. Any guesses?
Bring back Fabia!
If priced aggressively, it can change the fortunes for Skoda!
Prices should not cross 14 lakhs for top model.. otherwise it will be dead on arrival. Make or break product for Skoda just like Magnite was to Nissan..
Jeep had already disappointed with the pricing. Let's hope Skoda will be sensible enough
Pricing would be the key, pushing the price more than kia and hyundai would not generate enough volumes which skoda and Volkswagen are expecting . Why would someone buy a 20 plus lakhs petrol product when a diesel with an automatic on road in available for 20 lakhs tops
Hoping people will see this is a better product than what Hyundai/Kia offers and flock towards it. But still baffled by the fact Skoda/VW is pouring money developing Rapid/Vento replacements which is a shrinking segment and not focus their energies on sub-4m SUV instead.Another thing perhaps would be to bring Tiguan/Karoq lower variants into the market to provide more variety and a better spread of vehicles available for different prices.
If they can price 1.0 ltr turbo petrol at 7.99 lakhs ex showroom Provided that nissan launched 1.0 ltr turbo petrol at 6.99 lakhs. They can sell like hotcakes.
ITS THE SAME AS SKODA KAMIQ , SAME WHEELBASE TOO 2651MM ✌🏻
I ll consider buying this car if they price it reasonably.
Waiting eagerly for the reveal.
This is made for India car .. Hope its crash safety ratings will be same as that other Skoda cars.
Nice & Informative video.. What is the Boot space of Kushaq and any feedback on rear seat leg space comfort compared to Creta or Seltos ?
They make brilliant cars, they just need to work on their maintenance ,spare costs and their service center's staff attitude. Once all done they could be on a road to recovery. I wish kushaq would have 4wd system.
Can't wait for the Kushaq
Auto Car❤️
Skoda should also bring premium hatchback. Baleno, i20, altroz and jazz should have a competition from more premium hatchbacks.
First
Please add diesel engine asap .....Look at creta and seltos diesel engines selling almost 50%....Diesel appeals to both performance and economy oriented mindsets.....
Just watched jeep compass launch, I hope the kushaq top variant is priced less than jeep compass base variant .
Impressive!!
Want to buy this car
Hope this one drives like the other skoda's too.
First comment by the biggest fan of autocar India
I am really looking forward to the car. Hope it's fulfill our expectations.
Skoda great car
👍
Honda hrv is the best.
Will the Taigun launch before or after the Kushaq?
Eager to know more #SkodaIndia😍
If Skoda can price it below Creta/Seltos, no doubt India is gonna ride with VW Group.
What will be the new name of the vw sedan ?? which will replace vento
Hope it’ll be more price competitive than its rivals - It’ll stand a good chance of making a mark in its already crowded segment !
Waiting to know more about this car. Specially the price point.
