Skoda Kushaq and Volkswagen Taigun are selling quite well in the Indian market. Both share the same platform, engines and gearboxes. They are based on the MQB-A0-IN platform which is a localized version of the MQB-A0 platform that is used by Volkswagen subsidiaries in the international market. The wheelbase of both the mid-size SUVs is identical at 2,651 mm because of the platform. Both SUVs have now hit the used market.
