In terms of safety features, the Skoda Kushaq is one of the safest cars available in India with a 5-Star safety rating under the latest Global-NCAP regulations. Moreover, noticeable safety features include 2 airbags, ESP, TPMS, ISOFIX points and more.

In terms of powertrain, the newly launched Skoda Kushaq SUV comes with just one engine option. This engine is a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine with 115bhp of power and 178Nm of torque. Furthermore, this powertrain comes exclusively mated to a 6-speed gearbox.

That being said, there is a possibility of Skoda introducing the 6-speed automatic gearbox in the newly launched Kushaq Onyx Edition SUV. This will enable Skoda to better compete against its main rivals.

Speaking about rivals, the Skoda Kushaq competes against the likes of other SUVs in the segment such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, MG Astor, Volkswagen Taigun, Toyota Hyryder and Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara.
