Skoda Kushaq 1.5 TSI Introduced In ‘Ambition’ Trim – Price Dropped
Skoda Auto India has introduced the more powerful 1.5 TSI powertrain in the mid-spec Ambition trim of the Skoda Kushaq SUV to attract more customers and improve the overall sales figures.
As such, prices for the Skoda Kushaq with the 1.5 TSI engine starts from Rs 14.99 lakh (ex-showroom, India) for the Ambition trim level equipped with the 6-speed manual gearbox, whereas the variant equipped with the 7-speed DSG gearbox is priced at Rs 16.79 lakh (ex-showroom, India).
Earlier, Skoda updated its powertrain to comply with the upcoming RDE and BS6 Phase 2 emission norms in India and these updated powertrains are not only more fuel efficient than before but are also compatible with the E20 petrol (20% Ethanol, 80% Petrol).
Speaking about Skoda Kushaq, the SUV is built on the same MQB A0-IN platform as the Skoda Slavia sedan. As a result, both models share powertrains, features, and safety systems as well.
Speaking about the powertrain, the 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine (1.5 TSI) produces 148bhp of peak power and 250Nm of peak torque. Gearbox options include a 6-speed manual transmission and a 7-speed DSG unit.
There is also a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine. This engine produces a respectable 113bhp of power and 178Nm of torque. Furthermore, this engine can be specified with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.
At present, prices for the Skoda Kushaq SUV starts from Rs 11.59 lakh (ex-showroom, India) for the base 'Active' trim level equipped with the manual gearbox and goes all the way up to Rs 19.69 lakh (ex-showroom, India) for the Monte Carlo variant with DSG transmission.
