Before buying Kushaq she had considered Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue but, cancelled all of them due various reasons. She also looked at some sedans but, was not happy with them either. Skoda Kushaq offered her a sense of confidence and several features that many other vehicles in the segment were not offering.

The owner bought Kushaq 1.0 TSI Automatic in Ambition trim. The SUV is offered with decent number of features like alloy wheels, touchscreen infotainment system, multi-function steering wheel, cruise control automatic climate control and so on. One of the main reason why she was looking for an SUV is because of the ground clearance. She often travels to places with broken roads and Skoda Kushaq makes her life easier under such circumstances.

In comparison to Maruti Brezza which the owner had considered before buying Kushaq was less powerful than this. That was also one of the reason why she chose Kushaq. The owner opted for automatic because she wanted a seamless stress free driving experience in heavy traffic conditions. The owner was very impressed with the gear shift quality and performance of the car.

The owner bought this SUV around 3 months ago and she has already done around 4,600 kms in the car. The owner has customised the interiors to her liking too. She has not faced any issues with the car so far and said the only things that she misses in her Kushaq is the fuel efficiency. She is currently getting a maximum fuel efficiency of 13-14 kmpl. It is less than what Maruti Suzuki cars offered that used to drive earlier.

The owner liked the seating position and the amount of space that it offers. She also has a dog and said even the dog has approved of Skoda Kushaq.
