Mahindra Thar vs Skoda Kushaq

Question 1

Q. Which one is the best Skoda Kushaq or Hyundai Creta?

Answer

Skoda Kushaq seems to have nailed the brief in terms of looks, build and design. When it comes to performance, there's little more you could ask for from the two tractable powertrains. It also gets a long list of features, including some premium items too. But there are small hiccups everywhere. The slightly plasticky bits in the cabin, the narrow cabin at the back, lack of more wow features. On the other hand, The Hyundai Creta is clearly an impressive compact SUV. It is spacious, comfortable, loaded with features, easy to drive, and offered powerful petrol and diesel engine options. Compared to the old car, it is a huge upgrade, both in terms of drive and feel. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision.

Question 2

Q. Which car is better Thar or Gurkha?

Answer

Both the cars are good in their forte. Thar looks modern with tweaked styling and improved interiors. The drivetrain includes petrol, diesel and automatic options. 4x4 is standard. Washable interiors are a nice touch. The Thar's appeal and promise to take you on great adventures is a big draw but living with it every day will still ask you to make many compromises. As a second car or for those who just need the utility of the 4x4 the Thar’s appeal is undeniable. On the other hand, Gurkha's old-school design, comfortable seating for four, pliant low-speed ride, surprisingly easy to drive in the city, and refined engine. Even when it comes to practicality it is spacious and has comfortable seating for four and unlike its main rival, the Mahindra Thar, it gets a proper boot. The engine is more refined than before, it is surprisingly easy to drive at city speeds, and the low-speed ride is very comfortable which makes it quite good for everyday commutes. But it doesn’t quite have the requisite dual personality which we’ve come to expect of modern cars. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive.

Question 3

Q. Which is the best SUV amongst Kushaq, Seltos and Astor?

Answer

Choosing the right vehicle depends highly on one's preferences. All three Kushaq, Seltos and Astor are solid contenders in the segment. While Astor is a well-balanced, compact SUV with a good mix of design, quality, performance, and safety, the Seltos has impressed everyone so much that all we could complain about is a lack of under-thigh support and the rather stiff ride quality. Kushaq, on the other hand, is not overflowing with features it aims to win over buyers with its powerful and efficient petrol engines and smart packaging. The Astor’s 1.5-litre displacement is right up there with its rivals but pushes the least power at 110PS. While its torque figures are the same as the Seltos, it's the Kushaq that has the edge in this department, thanks to the turbocharged engine. If we talk about boot space Kia Seltos has definitely topped the list with its 433 litres boot space. But to sum it up, The Astor is managing to stand out in the segment with its looks, tech and upmarket cabin experience.

Question 4

Q. Which car is good, Kushaq or Taigun?

Answer

Both the cars are good in their forte. Skoda looks set to shake up the segment with this well equipped compact SUV. And while it's not overflowing with features it aims to win over buyers with its powerful and efficient petrol engines and smart packaging. Skoda Kushaq has a classy crowd pleasing SUV look whereas, the Volkswagen Taigun has a good amount of features, safety feature-wise too it feels sorted right from the base variant. The ride is comfortable enough and more importantly is fun to drive! Actually, scratch that, this SUV drives so well that it deserves to wear the GT badge more than the Polo ever did. `For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive.

Question 5

Q. I am looking to buy a new car. I am exploring the following cars - Baleno, Kushaq, Taigun, Jazz, and XL6. My priorities are mileage and safety. Which car is better?

Answer

As per your requirement, we would suggest you go for Kushaq. It comes into a world full of expectations: it should look great, be reasonably priced, drive and handle well, and be packed to the brim with premium features. In terms of looks, build and design, Skoda seems to have nailed the brief. When it comes to performance, there's little more you could ask for from the two tractable powertrains. It also gets a long list of features, including some premium items too. The Kushaq has a full safety net with ABS and EBD, ISOFIX mounts, six airbags, hill-hold control, multi-collision braking, rear parking sensors, and a camera. A standout in the segment is ESC, which is offered as standard. What's missing in the Kushaq are rear disc brakes, pressure readouts for tyres, and for some reason (price?), the automatic transmission variants get only two airbags. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive.
