I’m a Kushaq owner & trust me it brings smile on my face everyday day i drive !! I’ve driven seltos ,brezza etc and other cars they are not even close in terms of drive quality . I feel the trade off for a little smaller size than seltos / creata is absolutely acceptable atleast for me and very happy with the purchase.
What about the trade of on interior quality that has dipped bro
Same here. I also own Skoda Kushaq since 2 years and believe me nothing comes close to this car in it's segment.
@@WheelsAddictIndia He has not seen interiors of his favourite cars like grand vitara, and what about build quality of cars like Creata and Seltos(Paper Cars) and service centers like tata where they beat people inside out
@@WheelsAddictIndia quality might have dipped a little but i still don't feel the interior are below par at all if you compare in the price range/segment ..hnn do agree few control buttons on the drivers door could have been better + better reverse camera but once you drive the car i bet most people would be ok with this trade off . Try driving on humps / un even roads in Kushaq /Seltos /Brezza and hopefully you can feel the difference as why i would still prefer Skoda.
@WheelsAddictIndia what do you expect in the car. Driving quality, engine performance, stability and most important safety or rich features. Think about yourself. I am Kushaq owner and I am very happy with my car
This guy values resale value more than the build quality and safety ratings...😀
Nexon is 5 star😊
@@shashankdawn ofcourse, but the interior is not appealing to many and the aftersale service is terrible at many dealerships, but the same is nice at almost every skoda dealerships...
Not that these are just the reasons if resale is so important why Maruti Hyundai is still owning more than 50% of the market share
Perfect 😂
@@WheelsAddictIndia bro if 60 out of 100 people are buying Hyundai - Maruti cars then it is very obvious that in second hand market their number will be always high
Bro is more interested in selling the car before buying. Bro wants 32 inch tv inside the car.
Also, Driving dynamics left the chat.
😂😂😂😂
I have used my VW Vento, 2011 model for over 140000kms. Zero problems. Solid build. No nonsense. Performs like a dream on highways and especially on hill roads.
Those golden times
I have my personal replies for your each and every point...
Lets summarise in short, the sale factor between mid size Suv's is due to the deisel/petrol variants! Others brands still offers both.
Coming to the point of after age maintainance, these are just launched. Still u wish to compare nd do with the earlier products( polo,vento, rapid) and also compare the overall maintainance cost with any other brand.
No doubt their labour cost is comparetively higher but dnt forget the service schedule (15k kilometers) while other offers (10k kilometers). Suppose for 30k kms of verna one is paying 7000/- * 3 times, while for a vento he is paying 11000/- *2 times.
Basically its a mind set nothing else. At last will conclude just by this IF YOU NEED A GOOD PRODUCT, YOU HAVE PAY I BIT MORE THAN OTHER CHEAP PRODUCTS.
Its India bro, here majority of people prefer street food, while some dine at 5 star resturants also. Both are happy and right as per their will and pocket.👍🏼
The Driving Dynamics and Safety of VW / Skoda are unmatched. Kia / Hyundai are generally considered next to Maruthi, Tata. But VW / Skoda owners are usually not into re-sale value. Yes, Interior quality got down a bit, but as you Drive on the Highways, you will forget all those niggles.
You can comfortably pamper yourself for being a VW owner. Maruti-Suzuki is still the leader of the car market in India. Driving dynamics with Honda's are way better over and above Germans. Average consumers don't buy cars to be driven on highways. They buy it for everyday practical use and resale. Yeah, you may applaud your fancy turbo TSI engine. See what you are loosing. Idling times some cases even more than 10 minutes on cold start. Fuel efficiency less than 10 kmpl. This all just doesn't add up!
@@mithilchandok1470Being happy and feeling safe is prime for a customer, hope Maruti Suzuki makes people feel safe
@@kabiradam7324my grandpa driving maruti 800 from past 25yrs.
@@mithilchandok1470 I own kushaq 1.0 AT and gives me mileage of 12-14kmpl in city and 17-22kmpl on Highway based on condition. I have driven 12k kms in 8 months and till date mixed mileage is of 16.3kmpl. TSI is undoubtedly better engine which gives you peak torque at 1750rpm. Kushaq is a beautiful machine, don't take away it's credibility on the name of resale
@@mithilchandok1470 I drive 1.5 l Taigun in Bangalore roads and comfortably get 12 - 14 kmpl. I floor the pedal when I need it. Don't spread misinformation about less than 10 kmpl.
i own Kushaq and its a amazing car...perfect driving pleasure... i dont how u are making these comments...illogical...
Hi sir which comment is illogical?? U mean interior quality is superior than rapid ?? Or without amc service or maintenance cost is at par with industry standards??
Super, I am also thinking of going for Kushaq 1.0 MT. What is the mileage I can expect on light foot in light city traffic, heavy traffic and on highways?
@@TravelAndMachines Go for VW or Skoda without any doubt as MAruti and Hyundai is for the crowd not for good people our their in INdia
Recently I sold my Creta & bought Taigun. Trust me when u grow mature u won’t but car like creta & sletos. Happiness driving Taigun u can’t even imagine in cars like creta & deltas. VW is a class apart. Rest is personal choice.
Before buying kushaq i went to check hyundai creta waiting period 6 months, resale value of my grand i10 that i bought from the same hyundia dealer 2.5 lakhs. Went to kia for seltos rejected after checking the built quality..never conisdered maruti cars...went to chk tata nexon...saw a 1.5 year old nexon in the workshop with rusting inside the door panel..rejected..finally went to mahindra to chk scorpio n...waiting period 15 months...sales manager told me if i buy 50k worth of accessories they can reduce the waiting period from 15 months to 8-9 months. Finally went ti skoda exchange value of my grand i10 3 lakhs plus 20k exchange bonus..57k flat discount plus 4 yrs smp, 4 yrs roadside assistance free. Bought kushaq ambition( june 2023 manufacturing) 1 lt MT.
On road price mt ambition?
Nailed it buddy 👍
@@jadejayogendrasinh1078 in uttrakhand its 15.50 lakh (on road price). The price and offers may vary from state to state but try to bargain and they will give you atleast 40-50k flat discount and 4 yrs SMP free. Also the price for all the variants except the top end model will increase by 35-40k from october 2023 as the indian goverment has made it mandatory for all the car manufacturers to give 6 airbags in the car.
Good choice
U r going to love it Brother ❤️
I remembered Onida’s tag line here.
Owners pride neighbours envy😂
Went through the full video. A very IRRELEVANT video about cars.
I own a Skoda Kushaq 1.5 MT and with 33K kms on the ODO. And this isn't my only car and I d have fair experience of highway driving and long drives. I think you are WRONG in ALL fundamental areas of cars
1. Dimensions as per price: So you think the more the price the more the dimensions should be. Then only it'll be good. It's like more cc means more power. Maybe this is one the reasons why Indian car market is still an immatured one. Maybe this is why actual good car manufacturers like Chevrolet, Ford and Fiat left India. Because of our ridiculous choices in cars. We'll choose features over drive quality. For features we can buy a smart phone for God's sake.
2. Interior Quality: Did you ever sit in a Kushaq or Taigun and then compared it to the contemporary competition. I doubt. Else you wouldn't have mentioned this point. I thought your video will give an insightful view but till now didn't find any. Please do some more research else your videos will not do justice to the channel name you claim to be.
3. Spare Parts cost and availability: One of the major spare parts that we need to change are the brake pads. Creta brake pads and Kushaq/Taigun brake pads cost around the same. Kushaq/Taigun brake pads last till almost 30K kms on an average with proper usage. Whereas for Creta, brake pad failures are quite a common issue and normally people change the brake pads at 20K kms. Thought your insightful video will include this fact but it seems to be very cleverly avoided the cons of Kushaq/Taigun's competitors. Now, the respect to see your video is coming down. One more thins, regarding spare parts availability, in last 2 years of Kushaq ownership, never faced any such things. Please do more research before ranting out on YT.
4. Resale Value: First of all, most people don't know how good these cars are as they don't have much touchpoints across India. But they're working on it and hopefully it'll be addressed soon. Regarding the mechanic things, I will definitely not ask any roadside mechanic to fix an advanced car. They're good off servicing Marutis and Hyundais. But will they touch Hyundai Creta or Kia Seltos. They mostly will not. Cars at this price level, roadside mechanics don't know the advanced engineering of these cars. So please, don't use your channel name. You're not a wheel addict at all. If you were, you wouldn't made such a childish video.
5. Engine reliability: Now, regarding the ODO readings, I know of few Kushaq owners who have done more than 90K kms in 2 years of their ownership. And that too in the 1 litre 3-cylinder engines. And they're quite happy with their cars and without any complaints. I haven't yet done it so will comment on this part specifically but again your research seems quite inadequate and half-hearted and not at all a matured one. I understand your part. Maybe you're one of those who claim to be an auto expert and then Google whenever someone ask you anything technical. I feel you naiveness bro.
6. Build Quality: Your comparisons are so irrelevant that I'm now thinking that I should've never seen this video.
I rest my case. This is one of the most irrelevant video and people thinking this video is correct know nothing about what a car needs to do or expected to do. And you're of that group of people which is why good manufacturers are actually leaving India. Please grow up bro. Drive more cars. Have more experience. Then maybe you will understand what irrelevant video this is.
You are right in the analysis of this video
Super, I am also thinking of going for Kushaq 1.0 MT. What is the mileage I can expect on light foot in light city traffic, heavy traffic and on highways?
I feel kushaq/ taigun provides the driving pleasure with their over all driving dynamics which other cars don't provide.. sporty engine which is fun to drive...dimensions might actually be a boon considering city traffic these days and lack of parking space, and mind you kushaq has the longest wheelbase in the mid size suv segment due to which rear seat comfort and overall space is much better(not the width but leg space considering taller driver and passenger)..kushaq has much better high speed stability and very controlled body roll compared to the more selling cars you are talking about...
Lastly they are much safer cars than the other tin ka dabbas.
Bhai aur car lete hi bechneka hi sochne lagoge to phir Swift hi Lelo best resale value hai..
All these things are subjective..some people go after features..some go for sheer driving pleasure and safety.
I agree with u in terms of driving pleasure but what about the quality of interiors and electronics that dipped in their strategy of 2.0?? If the company thinks with just the. Engine they are justifying the price they are not Btw resale was just 1 point availability of spare parts in local market is another point. You drive a polo Gt see it’s interior and then compare it with today’s product. They are safe but can’t even seat 5 people being a fan boy is good but if we call them out they ll improve and sales will be better otherwise we can see another exit honda is a perfect case study of ignoring customer feedback
@@WheelsAddictIndia Well I bought Kushaq ambition(mid variant) and I think it's value for money compared to creta 1.5 S plus knight which is actually priced a bit higher, and comparing both practically, kushaq has better drivability, better headlight throw and is safe..but since creta has maybe more features like panoramic sunroof etc which attracts the masses..so it's a car for masses and not for driving enthusiast.Still feel kushaq/taigun has all the features that are practically needed. Maybe their quality dipped compared to their own standard but if compared to the other companies products in the market today I believe it's still ok...and they have resolved quite a few issues that the initial batches of car had like rattling issues, ac issues etc.
I agree that skoda reduced the screen size and reduced 1 or 2 features citing chip shortage and price increased so that is not justified.
But yea let's see how reliable these cars are in long term..but I am satisfied up till now.
I am still not sure about your price argument since creta is also very high priced and still you don't get safety, driving pleasure after spending so much.
Anyways I am happy with my product and that's all that matters to the buyer. Comparing cars on paper and actually driving these cars..then people notice the difference.
These cars are Indian made so availability of parts wouldn't be that big an issue I feel..but yea let's see what happens in the longer time frame.
100%true
@@WheelsAddictIndialet me tell you what when they were Made in German there quality was great.
But now they are made in INDIA. Rapid vento was at almost same price as kushaq mid variants.
Since it is 95% localisation can we also say that Indian manufacturing is inferior than german engineering giving the fact that both are coming in almost same price. At the same price range there quality was great but as they started manufacturing in India there quality dropped.
Have you ever seen hyundai kia talk about chassis. There body structure? Have they shown there body structure like skoda did with kushaq? No because they lack safety stability.
Have you ever visited Maruti hyundai service center? Total fish market.
4 lakh buyer and 20 lakh buyer are getting same treatment.
If Tata punch a car that is costing 6-7 lakh can give 5 stars, why not hyundai kia maruti also score?
We spend more money so that we can get power features and most important safety. You can see the crash test they just barely got 3 stars otherwise they are 2 star cars only at the price range of 20-22 lkhs.
Resale is a great factor but what’s the point if you are not alive or a family member is not alive when you sell that car??
I have made wise and best decision in buying kushaq .and features which are gimmicks doesn’t matter only performance and driving pleasure and overall safety.no other car in the segment can match these all.and price is almost same like other brand l.and rahi bat dimensions ki sir kuch mm kam honestly se kuch fark ni pdta hai .bhedchal me log unko le re hain but Europeans are just way ahead and slightly it is going to come back ..
I am a owner of kushaq AT. Do talk about the driving dynamics as well, which is the biggest selling point for these cars. I believe if the company has done enough paid reviews these cars might have better sales numbers. I have taken test drive for all the cars in segment except KIA (doesn't want split functionality) and I feel interiors are good if not the best. Have driven 5k kms in just 3months and haven't faced any rattling till now as they have improved it. I think the biggest criteria to purchase a car is the driving dynamics that's what these machines meant to do.
bhai ye banda pagal hai or sabko pagal bana raha hai or kuch nai,, i also have kushaq 1.5 and i so love it. i always have urge to just go out n drive it just drive it
Super, I am also thinking of going for Kushaq 1.0 MT. What is the mileage I can expect on light foot in light city traffic, heavy traffic and on highways?
@@TravelAndMachines At peak bengaluru traffic, I get around 8 - 10 kmpl and on highways got mileage around 20kmpl.
I would request those people who are getting misguided by this video to personally check the car and talk with the car owners to get a good advice. I myself own a Kushaq and i have met many kushaq owners who are much more satisfied with the car. Smaller issues like AC issue is already fixed by software updates. Resale value is only meant for chapris who buy a car and within 2-3 years sell it to buy another car that looks good. Long terms buyers who keep the car for 8-10 years don't care about resale value. If VAG parts are not available on market then that is a good thing actually as maruti and Hyundai has less genuine parts and most of the duplicate parts available in the market. Once you drive a car with low quality brake pads from the market you will have 80% chance of accident.Its shocking that nowadays some youtubers are spreading misinformation about cars to gain viewers without even owning the car or having any capacity to own or maintain it.
If we go by sales only then no one should buy audi, Mercedes,volvo and other luxury brands too as sales are very less? I guess all cars are build to satisfy different needs. Plus these are the only reliable options today for someone- looking for a above 4m petrol car + good safety + on time delivery , you suggest if there are any…
True that but in Merc category sales point and prices are different a different league I compared the numbers with its segment not a segment above and below. Delivery is just an excuse u need to know how to deal with dealers and get the right deal and value for u ..it is indeed built to satisfy needs but is it the fastest?? No do they have the most sophisticated interiors ? No . Ok are they vfm ? No , ohh driving pleasure yes but did I forgot to mentions automatic gearbox issues?? Heating issues or didn’t I??
Skoda and VW have only repeated clients who only know the difference of German and other. Even they don’t do advertising more and their salesman also not disturbing you again again for sale like maruti and kia. Skoda n VW customers not think of resale , not mileage. Thud sound of door of skoda and VW feel’s you are in safe cabin.
1. What about the wheelbase of Skoda Kushaq/ VW taigun that is the best in segment at 2651mm.
Larger Wheelbase offers better rear legroom and kneeroom.
Creta-2600mm
Seltos-2600mm
Hyryder- 2600mm
Grand Vitara-2600mm
Why havent you mentioned that, when you have mentioned all other dimensions aspects.
2. You are mentioning about interior quality again and again why dont you mention about the features which Skoda/ VW offers and others in the competiton does offer at all, like
1. All Illuminated power window switches.
2. Brake Disc Wiping.
3. Electronic differential lock. XDS, XDS+( I suppose you know whay they are meant for)
4. All adjustable headrests standard across all variants.
5. Led Projectors headlamps with static cornering foglamps
6. Touch screen infotainment with android auto and apple carplay as standard.
I suggest please give your verdict ( hit/flop) after considering all your facts, this is not the right verdict as you have clearly not highlighted the advantages of the product.
I didn’t give the verdict of hit or flop 140 crore Indians did - sales say it all. I didn’t say I don’t like the product but u need to watch the video again it states why it flopped
@@WheelsAddictIndia
140 crore people have not opened a UA-cam channel to give a verdict about it's hit or flop, moreover you have not reached all 140 crore to gather their verdict and also all 140 crore people don't own Kushaq and Taigun to give their review.
Please use material on your channel which looks justified and not biased.
You may be right on certain points mentioned in your review but you have not covered many positive points also so that does justify the product hit or flop.
@@HarshDesai7188 , he has used sales numbers. What could be more objective than that?
@@kunalsen2123 Sales Numbers what we see or this gentleman has shown or spoken about is basically the dispatches to the dealerships and not retails, and that depends on the number of dealership/ billing points of a particular brand. . If you compare the dispatches Of Kushaq/ Taigun per dealership with dispatches of Creta/ Seltos per dealerships it will almost identical.
Moreover Creta and Setlos 50% sales comes from diesel vehicles which option is not available in Kushaq/Taigun, so numbers here alone doesn't justify the verdict.
I am proud owner of Kushaq for 1 year (since Aug 2022) and no issues faced so far. Really happy. Except point 1, others seems logical to me but still those could not deter me from buying Skoda product one year back. One more point you can add is - # of outlets esp in Tier 2/3/4 cities and villages are almost none compared to Tata, Maruti, Hyundai. This is very imp consideration for people while buying car. I might have re-considered Skoda if there would have no showroom in my city.
Anyway, Skoda/VW buyers have diff priority and it makes sense to have 10-15% of total population as buyers. Nothing strange in it and we cant say product is a failure. The product is meant for only that strata of buyers.
AC problems se YT bhara pada hai. Jhuthe
I appreciate your viewpoint. And to a decent degree, points mentioned have merit too. To be honest, at the beginning itself, I was going to pause & comment. But then I thought of hearing you entirely and so post a sound listen, I am writing this now.
Firstly let me state that I own a 2013 i20 sports & have driven it 1.91 lakh kms, and it's still absolutely smooth & refined. Needless to say, I am quite happy with it & it is serving me exceedingly well.
Coming to the first point of dimensions - well, to be honest, almost no car's rear seat is actually meant for 3 adults. We do sit but for any medium to long journey, only 2 in rear seat actually sit comfortably. Also, apart from Nexon's 1810 & Xuv 300's 1820, most vehicles, even of Creta, Kushaq, Seltos, Taigun, Astor segment, width is in similar range. And most importantly, with mm it seems a lot, but in actual, just see how much is 4 to 5 cms 😊
Also, most people in our country have a liking and preference for a 'bigger looking car' .. which in my opinion doesn't necessarily lead to good looks. I feel the road presence / design language of a kushaq is far more sophisticated and smart and sporty and posh, and ageless, compared to its rivals. The need for bigger footprint is a very immatured ask of the mind, for me. A small example, look at Creta's tasteless front girll, and look at Kushaq's neatly-thought crafting. I agree looks are subjective, but still.
Coming to strengths of German, driving dynamics and build quality is where investment & priority has gone. So each brand, like maruti is excellent for mileage and affordability but too common,,, hyundai is a great blend of features and good looks, Tata off lately is having an appealing stance to its vehicles but not as refined as say a Honda. So I feel, to be among those kind of sales-numbers would surely not be VW's dream anyway.
When you see a vehicle with most people around, its charm in the mind goes down, psychologically .. so that way also, looking at these vehicles creates a super impression to the mind.
(Also, the audience and group which is buying Skoda VW won't even think about resale value factor | I never thought of resale value while buying my i20 10.5 years back)
I totally agree pricing is high, maintenance can be quite a thing, there are definite areas where this German group needs to/ can better itself.
But I do not agree that these are flop products. I am charmed everytime I see this emperor on road. In fact, just recently, upon checking its new prices, I felt - ohh pricing is so high, that I need to probably settle for something else, if I plan to buy.
So you get me? I am agreeing to you. Yet I am not as well 😊
Well said exactly what I feel as a owner of kishaq..
sir, i appreciate your efforts to make this video but i have been using VW taigun for more than 8 months and touchwood i have not found any complaints so far,
SIze and shape are perfect for my requirements.
1ltr engine has zero vibrations and super punchy.
fail hone ka 1 bhut bada reason hai after sales modification jo ki aap karol bagh mai nhi karwa sakte- like base to top model
whereas i had taken the test drive of XUV300 petrol and nexon but honestly speaking, i had not impressed with it.
please dont get me wrong, i am not a youtuber i am just a common man, but one thing i have observed in youtube that all the youtubers are playing dirty and sab VW Skoda ke pichhe pade huye hai and sab Hyundai and Kia ko jada promote karte hai, which is not good.
#VWSKODA
Yes sir appreciate ur comment and contribution, best part is u r not facing any issues but out of all the points u agree on one .. that’s the concept
Hyundai and kia ko promote krenge hi kyuki wo ek winning product hai. Jab VW and skoda ke engines reliable aur maintenence easy hogi to wo bhi winning product ban jaega but I don't think it will happen.
Bhed chaal hai baba.... Creta and Kia are the best selling cars but not the best. Kushaq is the best in the segment. Not everyone has the guts to buy it over creta and Kia. Wait and u will see the market of skoda in the next 2 years. Aaj u buy Kushaq and jb resale karne ka time ayega TB tk it will be the most common cars in this segment.
@@WheelsAddictIndia Why don't you bring concerns related to other car makers..!! Have you seen Tata Nexon new car panel gaps and the loosely assembled parts. Don't just comment on few issues which is existing in all the car makers..!! Kushaq & Taigun are way ahead of all their competitors.
@@akshay13131typical illogical chewtiya
Kushaq has better cabin space than competition. Driving experience is better than any car in segment. Interior is better than toyota hyrider. Road presence is a set back without a doubt.
Other points are ok. But cabin space? We were on a trip with taigun nd seltos and I am pretty sure it's like 5-6 inch difference in back seats width nd 2-3 inch on head room
@@SomethingSenseful I havent checked out taigun so cant comment but cabin space is better than creta and hyrider
I am a Kushaq owner and I don't think for me height of car and width is that important. Kushaq is small car from outside but inside it is more spacious and roomier which gives you really good feel. It has better practical boots space than Creta/Seltos and obviously Grandvitara strong hybrid. When I bought car, I never thought of resale because I wanted to own a car which will be there for atleast 10years and put smile whenever I take car out.
Yes Kishaq is not perfect fake SUV for name but I would it is a complete pack when it comes to practicality, comfort, safety and fun. I have done 12k kms on my Kushaq 1.0 AT within 8 months and I am in love with this car. I have done Goa to Nagpur 1100km in single day and I had enough energy to take a 5000 steps walk. I never felt this happy before driving any other car. My Kushaq's AT TC gearbox is gem of piece which never lets me down in any situation be it mountains, rough roads, traffic or want to overtake.
Buy car which connects to your mind and heart both. Don't go with what masses are buying. Such youtubers have made beautiful machines flop and encouraging crap unstable shell products.
Super, I am also thinking of going for Kushaq 1.0 MT. What is the mileage I can expect on light foot in light city traffic, heavy traffic and on highways?
You need to drive it brother. If someone is buying Kushaq, he buys it for simplicity and to the point features. There are skoda owners who are driving the Same car for more than 12 years and are still happy
True that so the concept was a case study I didn’t say it is bad product but just raising a concern on few aspects as consumers
@@WheelsAddictIndiacars that are less safe than a small Tiago give you "peace of mind". Says a lot about you as a consumer.
@@ninadganore nice one. What can we expect from a chapri youtuber like him? He is defaming a good product just to get views.
A happy kushaq owner. No car is nearby to kushaq when it comes to driving and safety.
Agreed great car but calling out cons is our job soon u ll see this for other cars as well
I was looking for suv bigger than sub 4 m and width also less for easy parking and driving ...skoda kushaq was perfect for me, just for interior poor plastic quality and 3 cylinder engine I didnt go 1.5 cylinder is out of reach...which is the reason why it is selling less ..resale value is going to be horrible in coming years ..not just even maruti will struggle to sell 2 nd hand cars... .tata nexon is worst looking car for me..
Thanks for sharing
You should have considered no. of sales point of Germans vs Koreans in your sales number figures. Also there is a term Bhedchal which we do see in Indian car market. People who have been owning Rapid, Polo, Superb etc are still happy to own the vehicles. Service schedule is 1 yr in these brands and prices are equivalent or leas compres to Koreans or Japanese. Quality in initial batches did had issues but with time these have improved. I do agree for 1L instead a NA option should be there but these people have expertise in RnD as well. They have an edge when it comes to driving dynamics as well, you will feel the difference in driving Germans vs Koreans or Japanese even with cost cutting etc.
Did anyone stop the Germans from increasing their number of touch/sales points?
@@mangalmurtibhosale Nope but there is no point in opening sales points seeing the bhed chaal that we are going through in Indian Car market. People are going for features instead of safety knowing the fact the design language of Maruti and Koreans will last for 3-4yrs and then a facelift will come however for Germans it is an everlasting design.
lol! dont quote "Korean" and "japanese" together. You can quote Msuzuki with Korean but not "Japanese", "Toyota" is also japanese, and nothing in the world beats a toyota.
Skoda or VW have very less touch points and service network in comparison with maruti or hyundai. So obviously the count will be less. And hyundai/kia have diesel engine which counts about 50% of sale.
About 5000 in consolidation for taigun and kushaq a month sounds good number considering their touchpoints and production. Also they are exporting to other countries which keeps the production rolling
Hello sir I have a kushaq 1.5 and I love everytime when I bring this vehicle out of my garage it's just mind blowing other cars can't even come close to this vehicle in terms of driving dynamics
1.5 is a gem but at 18 lacs we expect better interior quality from skoda
By the way interior is decent more than interior I want driving and safety
@@WheelsAddictIndiainterior is not as bad as you are making it out to be
Super, I am also thinking of going for Kushaq 1.0 MT. What is the mileage I can expect on light foot in light city traffic, heavy traffic and on highways?
This is actually a bad take. I am a kushaq owner, the performance, refinement and safety is unparalleled. It is compact, and I can take this to mountains without worrying about its size. The suspension is better than creta/ seltos and the refined engine brings a smile every time you drive it. I don’t think there is anything else that clubs this at the rate it is being offered.
Ok then go and hit with big rock at the speed of 100+ and if you still alive then comment hear I will accept your words.
Kushaq provides the best in class handling and driving dynamics. The interior quality is not as bad as some people say . It is just not upto the level of previous generation Skoda/ VW cars , that’s all. Also , it scored a perfect rating in global NCAP crash test and has a timeless design . It looks neat and elegant from all angles . Also , the medium size is a big advantage if one uses it in both city as well as highway . I will keep my Kushaq for a very long time and don’t regret my decision of buying this beast even one bit .
Indeed design is timeless but I am not here to please a minority I am putting a mindset of majority of Indian and pointing out means what ?? That the product was good but it flopped why ?? That’s the connect of the video
@@WheelsAddictIndia Majority of the indians run after cars for 'mileage' completely disregarding safety and driving experience. Is it fair to propogate such stupid thinking even more? Also, what are you going to do with 10000 features if the car is not even suitable to withstand crashes at 60kmph? Feels like your video is the paid video attacking VAG brands without any sound reasoning.
@@WheelsAddictIndia Correct. You are putting the mindset of the Indian buyers. Indian buyers will leave a sturdy & VFM product like Fiat Punto, VW Polo, Ford Freestyle, but are ready to pay for 800 Kilo Swift/Baleno. When the power to weight ratio is high, they find the car gives a better performance. I checked both GV & KUSHAQ, if you say that GV interior quality and space is better, then I truly say I really don't know how to check the quality. I feel, whatever Skoda is providing in the mid-variants is VFM. When I saw the interior of the Venue top variant and with its price point, it seriously lacked the quality big time. Yes, the VW group is trying hard to increase the market share, for that they have to provide value with their vehicles. Assumptions like Ford will kill them in no time. Coz, Indian buyers are more inclined towards mileage and features they don't use. Even if I don't get a great resale value, I feel I will be much happier till the time I will have my KUSHAQ with me.
@@WheelsAddictIndiaWho told you its flopped, go and check the numbers ..
@@WheelsAddictIndiayou understand the mindset of majority of Indians. That's why you should dedicate your time on UA-cam to educate people and convince them to fix their priorities. Create awareness about why safety is more important than resale value, why driveability is more important than features etc. Your favourite car brands may not care about the lives of their customers but you could care about the lives of your virwers right? It costs them to care, Does it cost you?
Once a Skoda, always a Skoda. Have used Rapid 1.5 manual for 6 years, 1.1 Lakh kms.
Now Kushaq 1.0 AT is my primary car for city use and will continue to keep it.
My next second car will be Kushaq 1.5 AT that I am buying next month.
Last week, have test driven Creta, Scorpio N and GV. I am convinced my next car is Skoda too.
Super, I am also thinking of going for Kushaq 1.0 MT. What is the mileage I can expect on light foot in light city traffic, heavy traffic and on highways?
Every car is produced to meet needs of different customers. There are sheep’s those follow the opinions of other and reviews before buying the car. Real user will go check and test drive the vehicles and see if that suits their purpose and taste. I own Skoda rapid 2012 diesel and Kushaq 1.5 AT both are great to drive and puts smile on face every time the ignition is turned ON. I never tried Creta or seltos. Happy with the performance, safety and features of Skoda cars and
So true and that is why gradually I am going to talk about every company
You should have test driven Creta or seltos. It will make you even happier with your current choices
oh hero… road presence of taigun is quite quite strong!! i have seen it amongst many other craps.. it def stands out !! and it does look premium, its ur looking glass thats crappy !
Kushaq is best car but costly too. Ride quality superb. It’s sale will definitely go up.
Hope so
I own the last gen of the 1 liter polo. What I despise most is the poor leg room for passengers behind. I am still to see its performance down the years. The rest are So far so good. Cannot compare with Kia or Hyundai
I own a Skoda superb 2022 and am very happy with the vehicle. U can't compare these vehicles with Tata or Hyundai or Kia or Maruti. I have seen lot of people selling their skodas and going for skoda again. What you are saying I agree to some extent like after purchase costs and all but the buyer knows what he is getting into. Not a single manufacturer will give u the driving pleasure these cars give in this segment and believe me I have also owned lots of brands in past
couldn't agree more, only Volvo and BMW, Audi could compete with VW and Skoda
Wasn't expecting this analysis about VW/Skoda Taigun/Kushaq from a person who owns Ford Ecosports. I would say that normally VW/Skoda buyers due not get lured towards the feature rich cars but solid and class leading performance engines like TDI & TSI. Parmish Verma ka naya gana sunno bhajji he says FEATURE DEKH K CAR NAHI LENDE, ENGINE TAGGDE CHAKKIDE ( I don't think this needs translation). Anyways, lemme tell you I own a Skoda Slavia 1.0 TSI Manual and it has been phenomenal till date, bought it a 1.3 yrs back. As a driver, what do prefer resale or sheer driving pleasure. Moreover, VW/Skoda have a name of their own and we should not even think of comparing them with Hyundai/Marutis of the world.

Bro khushaq wheel base is maximum in that platform and longer then any other in segment that's reason khushaq looks more attractive then seltos creta and nexon and small cars are better fun to drive so size does not matters look polo its just a very small car but still is far great looking in segment because the reason is these cars providing better quality and better paint which looks superior 🙌
True bro I am representing the majority audience review in this video not just my point of view if u see the thumbnail it says why it flopped also if u ask me I am not happy with the interior quality that has dipped massively just to fight the competition
@@WheelsAddictIndiayes maybe the interior quality is down but if a maruti owner will switch or at least take test drive the plastic and quality is way more superior do watch DDS channel how grand vitara is facing issue so I believe it's not a flop product VW and skoda make lot of mistake earlier and it's changing. Please check interior quality with magnifying glass like maruti, mahindra and Toyota. Then it would be fair example.
@sankalplal4565 just for the wheel base & paint you will pay Rs. 2 lakh extra ??? Does it makes sense to you? And that too the wheel base is not making heaven & earth difference for the back seats space.
And on the other hand you get Nexon which has better interiors, gr8 build quality, reliable engine, back seat space is also good, better dimensions, looks more futuristic than kushaq & cheaper too. And now the Nexon facelift is coming that looks even better.
Just stop ass-licking these German car makers...they are giving you very minimalistic updates & strip you off a very high price. Yeh sab ego boosting karne ke liye "skoda skoda skoda" karte hai..:ghanta tumhe tumhare paise ki value mil rahi hai". sorry for my french but Thoda dimaag hai toh socho!
PS : And btw their DSG gear box is very high maintenance and has been a flop at one time.
@@Candid_Notions u seems hurt and from which aspect u saying Nexon enjine is better are u mad or what I think u are blind fan of tata Nexon bro khushaq wheel base is not for space that is for fun to drive factor, skoda 1.0 litre enjine is globally awarded and Honda VTEC these 2 are segment leader u camparing tata with skoda.

Super, I am also thinking of going for Kushaq 1.0 MT. What is the mileage I can expect on light foot in light city traffic, heavy traffic and on highways?
Size point is absolute crap. Kindly talk about the wheel base. Kushaq/Taigun has a wheelbase of 2651mm which is more than any other car in the segment. Which implies leg space and comfort is much more. Creta/Seltos only looks bigger in size with lesser leg space. Moreover, India 2.0 strategy is not for everyone. It is for a target audience. Volkswagen group was always targeted for a specific audience who are driving enthusiasts. Who enjoy driving. Hyundai is for those people who focus on features and other gimmicks and not on build quality and driving
The video is about the analysis and reason to flop . Jimny is getting the gate for dimensions and pricing any clarifications for that ?? Drive enthusiast people for sure but didi you get a chance to sit inside and experience the build quality ??
@@WheelsAddictIndia I own a slavia and a kushaq. Agree that the interior plastics are not upto the mark of original VW cars like Rapid or Vento, but that shouldnt be the most important reason to not buy a car. Moreover, the driving comfort and dynamics are way too good in these cars which makes you forget about the plastics. As for the analysis and comparison. Get your facts correct. A car which has the longest wheelbase cannot be a small car.
@@sayandutta365 why's all that great logic not reflecting in sales figures then? It's not like these are expensive cars per se.
Kushaq is not successful?. Boy I own a kushaq since oct 2020. I love the dynamics, stability at speed, mileage, music . What not ?. If theres something I complain , it's travel of clutch.
Being living in Germany since over a decade, I'll tell that even Germans are not buying VW the way they were buying like 10 years ago, in 10 years Kia, Hyundai, Suzuki have introduced many models and those cost much less, performs at same if not better. No doubt, Germans cars are far better in built quality but even in Germany, the features are less for similar priced cars from Korea. Germans loves executive looking cars, SUV is still not famous, sedans, coupe (longer sedans) are preferred, SUV and MUV is mostly used in companies employees to move around for work, carrying tools etc, not a family car.
He is not aware about the tata service😂. He has not driven Tata AMT gearbox
Amt sucks did I say it is the best ??
How can you compare the numbers of Sedan's (Skoda/VW)with the SUV numbers of Skoda/VW? Sedan segment have a handful of players while the SUV segment is extremely crowded. If Skoda/VW cars/SUV's are on a higher side of the price bracket, it's because of their safety rating and high quality standards. The video is illogical and mare with a certain amount of prejudice
I didn’t compare two I compared honda city and Verna sales with slavia where as seltos grand vitara numbers with kushaq
@@WheelsAddictIndiadon't you understand that most SUV buyers prefer a diesel. And that might be the bigger reason for lower sales?

Depends on what kind of an individual u r based on that I can give u inputs
Dont ask for any inputs from this biased guy.
U are kind of right, when we spend money, we want road presence. That incidentally is also the reason why Slavia and Virtus are picking up reasonable sales. They have very good road presence apart from build quality and drving dynamics. Interior fit and finish is still miles ahead of the competition though. I don't agree with u there. The closest is Kia but still not at par. I own VW Polo (1.5 TDI 2014) and well as VW Virtus. Slavia has some creek because of the dashboard design elements. In VW Virtus the rattling comes from a very tilted placement of water bottle in the door. That's it.
Have you checked safety rating? Do you know that TSI is award winning engine multiple year.
Do u know it’s an age old engine ?? Do you know engine was good enough for polo not such a huge body
@@WheelsAddictIndia good you understand that is old tried, tested and reliable engine.It has capacity for much bigger cars as well. It depends upon the company that at what power they want to put it a car. The same engine is giving different power to polo and more power to Taigun and Virtus. This is engine can be tuned and give as much power a person needed. Not to forget they have 1.5 l engine as well. Request you to please do not spread negativity as these are best and safe family car and size of the car is good for city and highway both.

True. They should look at the rising obesity in our country.
According to this guy's logic MINI COOPER, VW Beetle are Worthless vehicles as it looks smaller than creta / Seltos. Listen my dear if u have ever driven VW group's car u will understand why people opt for them instead of Creta ,Seltos, Maruti. And safety is second to none. Please talk sense ... Sabko size dikha kaar hawa bazzi nahi karni... Plus Creta's G.V'S engine are so underpowered u will get bored with them if u love driving. And wat the hell are you talking .Engine is the heart of any vehicle. Baki saab moh maya hain. All gimmicky features are of no use if ur motto is to enjoy ur drive. Plus about resale. Haar kisiko gaadi nahi bechni hota hain. People owning VW GROUP'S car keep it for long term except for a few. Safe cars ek din hi kaam aata hai ..... Jab accident main jinda baach jaoge naa taab resale,features,size hawabazzi yeh saab vul jaoge. I hope god blesses u with some kind of enlightenment. Get well soon from ur sick mindset. For people like you we Indians who love driving don't get hot hatches in our country because hum logo ko toh size chahiye.
Bro segment word exists in this world ??
@@WheelsAddictIndia Ever heard the word SAFETY. Dimaag diya hain Bhagwan ne use it for the betterment of the society before advocating for cars by Hyundai & Maruti. Do you even realise how many people have died in accidents while traveling in unsafe cars. And people like you still back cars from those manufacturers. Bhagwaan se daaro vai. Badua lagegi jab koi vi aap jaise logo ki baat man kaar unsafe gadi lega aur kuch ho gaya toh. I feel pity for people like you who have the audacity to defend poor build quality cars. Get well soon fellow human.
1.Don't lecture people about the road presence and looks. Because that part is subjective. They will decide not you.
2. For some people a car is not just a commodity, it is a passion. And if that passionate choice is providing you with more safety than other then we shouldn't call it a flop rather commend them on it.
3. Don't encourage people to buy cars based on their size. Congestions are bad enough already. People in metro cities are starting to prefer cars that are premium but smaller in size.
4. Yes there has been some corner cutting in the interior quality but you should compliment them on it because brands like hyundai and maruti do corner cutting with the safety of the car.
5. When you correctly point out the non-sense criterias of a second hand buyer who cares more about maintenance cost than safety, don't tell the brands to adapt to that, instead tell the 2nd hand buyers to fix their priorities.
6. Try becoming a part vendor for a vw/skoda product and find out the accepted tolerances for part accuracy and then compare that with Maruti or ford. Then you'll know why the parts/maintenance is more expensive.
7. Looking at your criterias for buying a car i suggest you change the name of your channel from wheels addict to commercial wheels addict. Taxi buyers need good guidance and you are perfect for it.

Depending upon that caregory you maybe right or may be wrong
Other parameters should be also taken before declaring these cars as flop
I didn’t declare as a flop population did calling a flop and telling the reasons don’t mean it is not a good drive
I was a S-Cross 2018 Diesel owner and I was looking for a Diesel one in market this year. I loved S-Cross to the extent that had Suzuki reintroduced S-Cross I would have to blindly went ahead with it. But then many reviewers didn’t like S-Cross at all and had given negative ratings due to various reasons and they always compared with Creta. S-Cross really gave that feeling of big car with powerful engine.
Finally I went with Kushaq Petrol after trying all options, didn’t like the similar interior of Vitara but not equivalent to S-Cross. Seltos is feature overloaded, safety wise not too sure. Of course the interiors of Kushaq is little old school but it gives all required features and functions, I am talking about the top end version of Kushaq. And I love the sport mode and driving experience of this car, very smooth.
Nutshell it depends upon the choice of customers, as I went through multiple reviews and each one said not to buy Kushaq, they way I had seen for S-Cross. But I love my decision and do not regret. Thanks, Ram ram 🙏🏽
A very biased review bringing out what everyone knows ie smaller dimensions, not as good interiors as competition and poor resale value. Having owned a rapid for 8+ years , and now a Kushaq this certainly feels very far less solid. But to say that it is a flop and write it off against Korean rivals which are very poor on safety rating with safety issues such as brakes overheating, etc and only loaded with gadgets and show is simply not fair. The car has an incomparable exterior profile and the 1.5 turbo engine is proven EVO engine. So Please do highlight the plus points such as safety rating , drive ability , etc which you seem to downplay.
You are so funny brother. Keep making such comedy videos, you will succeed one day.
Mr look at the sales value of all companies vw and skoda are now here near to rivals and even fortuner sales > taigun.😂
The honest and practical review i have ever seen... ❤ carry on bhai.. 🎉
Bet his review was paid by Kia or Hyundai to talk shit about Škoda
I recently travelled to Mussorie with my friends and we were travelling in a Kushaq and the car got heat up and started smelling bad on a uphill which was a shocker to the owner who has never faced such thing before with his Verna.
As a Virtus 1.0 owner, agree on the road presence point for Kushaq/Taigun.
But it seems you have an agenda against Skoda/VW. I disagree WITH YOU on many fronts, Interior quality is better than the average interior of Hyryder/GV, it is worse thank Koreans and MG but its not like it is the worst. In my Virtus there is rattling noise in the bottle holder apart from that everything is sorted. Regarding service cost, people not having service packs are getting there cars serviced at 7-8k which is reasonable and their service is hands down better than the Tatas and Mahindras anyday. Why are you not telling that?
Every VAG customer is a knowledgeable buyer, not of herd mentality.. buying a feature loaded paper (tin ka dabba) cars @15-20 LACS is a crime.. why dont you tell this to your audience instead of defaming Skoda/VW.
VW proudly shows off its inner structure, which other brand does that? Driving is a pleasure in these cars. Which other cars can remain stable at 140kph - tell me? You calling 1.0TSI a 3cylinder with poor NVH levels. Man it is the best 1L Turbo engine out there, It is miles better than 1.5NA, 1L Turbo which competition is offering. Heck it can handle up to 270bhp. Which other engine in the competition can do that?
Lastly you talk about resale, their sales are at peak they can produce some 8k cars a month only. Which is enough for them to sustain. Also To get your car to resale, you should be alive - why dont you tell your audience to buy safe cars instead of bashing the company which is atleast not milking their products and are true to their nature of 'Safety and Fun tor drive'.
Nailed it Brother ❤️
Absolutely bro. On point. I own a Vento. The crappy Maruti's & hyundai's are no comparison to the driving dynamics and safety of this car. My next car will also be a VW or Skoda regardless of people praising coffins on wheels which they call cars, and compare the to the german brands.
All points are very well raised. As an owner of 4 VAG cars, it hurts me but you told the reality only.

bro u dont know but Skoda/VW make car in compact design, even if u see higher the segment like Kodiaq or Tiguan, It is much more compact design then its competitors.

The only companies with brighter future and good resale are Marooti, Mahindra,Tata,Toyota.
People who don't bother about price, resale and prioritize brand, quality can go for any brand vehicle as per their choice.
But nowadays very few maintain their car for more than 3 to 5 years because vehicle industry is under fast pace evolution. And moreover Buying a car is more of an emotional thing.
The most important points an average buyer should consider for long term are
1=Build quality - most important
2=Spare price
3=Maintaiance
4=Average/Milage (for daily commute)
5=No headaches for minor fixes
Only these 5 points should play major role for buyers.
Very helpful info. I have the similar concerns. I like scoda but kushaq back seat is not great for three people
Completely fake. I have driven Nexon and creta . Kushaq and Taigun give the best driving pleasure. If u drive once u will understand what VW / Skoda cars are.
Did i say they don’t drive well indeed they do
🙏 please make content on alternatives of jeep compass. I am fond of it. I know it is a difficult idea. Korean cars are good looking but compromised on safety so no plan to even think of them. Tata nexon has again the problem of road presence. Maruti brezza is good but I liked the old model and is in different segment . Grand Vitara and hyryder are clearly under powered cars while you test drive it. A person of 6 feet height thus has only option of Scorpio N or XUV 700 but they are a perfect choice for those who frequently go on highways and not for city commuters.

U don't want to pay for european quality but want everything for a lesser price. Still u want to compare current products to previous products. If u want driving pleasure the go for VAG cars. For peace of mind-resale go for Maruti, Honda. Korean cars r just for features. For safety VAG is still best. Now u will say Tata & Mahindra but its services r even worse than VAG.
I am ready to pay but is 140 crore ready ?? I am here to represent population
I completely agree, VW and Skoda have lost their class just to compete Thirdclass cars like Creta and seltos , ertiga .resulting in downgrade their standards , I still own a 2013 Jetta with a 2 lit diesel engine, even today whenever dabba cars like swift , desire , Hyundai attempt to compete in terms of initial acceleration , they always end up losing, I wish superb, Passat and polo GTI would have been still available
Please make video for safest & Economical city car in hatchback segment.
Noted though it will just have Tata cars as of now
Aapne sahi kaha ki taigun/ kushaq creta seltor gv hyryder ki sales beat nahi kar paayi but uske reasons saare galat diye. Agar reasons aapke sahi hote toh virtus slavia bhi nahi bikti. Main reason lack of features h sale na hone ka panaromic roof 360 camera front parking sensors ground clearance around 200 mm ye cheeje hoti toh achi sale hoti in dono ki bhi jaise virtus slavia ki ho rhi h. Atleast 6k each toh bik jaati dono hi
Agar diesel option hota to sales kam se kum double ho jaate vw skoda ke.
Sab to cover kiya but the most important thing is something you’re missing in this video. That is not being able to cope up with market. No ev options, no hybrid options in a country where fuel is so costly
nice video......i agree....i 'd prefer a 4 cylinder engine in a car compared to 3. much more smoother, reliable and tough for long distance and overall longevity.
plz suggest about the honda elevate/......
It is a no nonsense car good at the moment if features are not important go for it it is very spacious and comfortable
After carefully listening, I'm confused Kushaq will have part issues in market so flop but slavia is hit cause selling in comparatively better numbers.. Slavia parts available in market or what? Confused!!
It takes lot of heart to come with real and true facts in videos while other try to be diplomatic and we know unfortunately about reviews when bad people write and good we dont ...no offense to skoda but every point is true however value for money is far away in skoda ...they have to workhard as other companies are else nos shown are correct in this video and cannot be questioned...if inputs taken in right spirit they certainly have lot of room for improvement in the price bracket they offer car...Name of Skoda is a great help for current sales...and please do a people or brand pleasing video next but dont stop as recommended heavily in comments❤
Best wishes!
He has said some hard cold facts that are obviously not taken well by VW skoda fanboys in comments section 😅😂. And they are defensive/offensive all the way and thats fine .
See when a middle class family man wants to buy a car in 2023 he wants it to be reliable for 15 years atleast with minimal problems, after that what to do with it is his lookout .
The current gen of 2.0 cars are not that confidence inspiring as older VW skoda cars , you can take a car from any segment and you must have seen people using those same car for 10,15years atleast polo vento Rapid octavia jetta superb .
You know the last of the old generation skoda vw polo Rapid and vento with 1.0TSI engines can and will survive for 15 years minimum because they rarely had any issues in them pertaining to reliability, compared to kushaq and Taigun its reported very less because they were solidly built to be robust for a long period of time.
Same can't be said about Kushaq and Taigun . The maximum i saw kushaq and Taigun sell was around 4 to 5000 units per month maybe it touched 6000 units once upon a time but they haven't exceeded 5000 units mostly even in their honeymoon period when sales were high. Even the Honda Elevate will do 6 to 8000 units in future with only a NA petrol engine if they price it aggressively.
To sell around 2000 units in a segment where the top dogs like Creta seltos and Grand Vitara are selling 10 to 15,000 units a month is a failure . I think there are other reason for it like no diesel engines when Creta seltos sell 50% on diesel alone as people want it in this segment. Then VW skoda doesn't offer CNG like Maruti suzuki does because CNG works better with NA petrol engines and these idiots have already discontinued the most robust engine they had .i.e 1.6Mpi petrol engine which is sold with Virtus in South Africa and other developing markets. They could have offered this engine in base variant with 1.0TSI in mid variant and 1.5TSI in top variant. But who wants to do all that hard work 😂, thats upto the competition not VW Skoda.
My elder brother wanted to buy a Vw Taigun but after looking at horror stories of Its reliability and aftersales woes even today when they claimed to have improved, i just told him to drop the idea .I asked him to check out Honda Elevate and Hyundai Exter if he likes anyone of them since he is not a sedan guy like me.
I’m also an Ecosport owner, paid not more than 4100/- per service😊
As per my knowledge, Maruti Suzuki 800, was basic design of VW!! No-one can question, dimension ( small dimensions) of VW cars!! It's perhaps Indian mentality!! Like most of the SUV buyers would prefer Diesel engine for an SUV!! Size may not be an issue for them!!( They prefer Big/ long, buyers of this segment)!!
Kya aap jaante hain, parking is a big issue, in urban India!!
New generation city buyer, asks dimensions first, while buying!!
So, in my Gyan, Size of Kushaq/Taigun is an asset!!
My reason for failure is,Quality!!
Guage of metal used in bonnet/ fender/ squeaky dashboard/ non availability of all windows down on remote key/ Despite roaming all over India, before launch, fuel pump, of car refusing Indian petrol!!/Price of 1.5TSI engine!!
These failure's, sabse badaa, quality failure, of Skoda/VW, turning their USP into failure/ competing Maruti/ Honda/Toyota!!!
With two 250+ acre plants in India, they can't make, engine,gear boxes, or transmission here, is another failure!!!
'polo ka Galaa Ghont diya'!! They just killed, aam Aadmi ki car!!
Reason given was, global design of polo,increased 4.0 metres!!
THEN, WHAT WAS, 'INDIA-2' (so-called-india-specific-strategy?)
Unique Case study, that experts/ second largest car maker in the world, have horrible/ failed strategies!!
I agree with u in terms of driving pleasure but the quality of interiors and electronics that dipped in their strategy of 2.0?? If the company thinks with just the. Engine they are justifying the price they are not Btw resale was just 1 point availability of spare parts in local market is another point. They are safe but can’t even seat 5 people being a fan boy is good but if we call them out they ll improve and sales will be better otherwise we can see another exit honda is a perfect case study of ignoring customer feedback , we are on the same track just that since it was an expose I didn’t talk about pros though I said slavia is a better product reason being high ground clearance in India is what we needed so such decisions tell about engineering work put behind the wheels
@@WheelsAddictIndia Oh yeh!! I am a 56 yrs old fanboy!! Waiting for my purchase from the past many years!!
Vento at @ 4379 mm was of optimum length!! Why, they could generate 102 bhp from 1.2TSI? And killed this engine, as they couldn't make it for BS6? Can't believe!!! Increased length of @ 4.7 metres is only for 'niche' up-market, covered-reserved parking 'segment'!!
Not for aam Aadmi/ Urban India car buyer!!
'Dhang ke engineers recruit nahin kiye'?
VW - Brazil, are pioneers in Ethenol engine!! VW -india are ignorant about this? If you can't make a TSI engine here? Ham, kaise Kahen, VW-India will bring Ethenol engine?
VW ko chodo!! Maruti/Toyota/ Tata( Fiat)/Hyundai/ Mahindra don't make turbo petrol engine in India'???
Ghor Apamaan of Indian Automobile industry!!
