#TaigunVsKushaq #VolkswagenVsSkoda #AutocarIndia
Taigun is more flashy, got more bling but Kushaq is certainly way more elegant and will age very nicely. You have to see both in person to really understand this. Having said that, it is a matter of personal preference.
I loved how the Kushaq came from behind the Taigun to get a cinematic feel!!
It was a tough choice no doubt about it. I went with Skoda Kushaq and have been enjoying the drive.
I went with slightly more ‘executive looking’ Taigun (1.0 Topline MT Silver) - Not an easy decision though !
Loved the way both Skoda and Volkswagen eventually adapted a product and service to meet the needs of an Indian buyer. It seems a successfully localized service and production which appeared to have been developed within the local customer's portfolio was always in the betterment of its customer.
Good Job by Skoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited
Just took delivery of Taigun Highline! This car is a beast.
Kushaq's front and taigun back would be a good choice for me.
I have taken test drive of both vehicles in 1.0 AT model. I felt engine of Taigun is better tuned and offers a slightly better pick up. Whereas Kushaq has better suspension , I felt less bumps in Kushaq compared to Taigun..
If anyone experienced the same please let me know in replies .. Thanks 🙏🏻
And one more thing both cars offers Tire pressure warning system and not monitoring system.. You will be notified if pressure in tires go below certain level, but it will not show actual pressure in tires. Dear owners please correct me if it’s not the case
Got my taigun gt+ early october, done with 1 month service and 1500+ km in it and loving it so far
What’s the mileage brother? City and highway?
I have a soft corner for both Skoda and VW in my heart and I really hope that they stay in India for millenniums to come
If taigun actually provides 21kmpl then it's going to be it's major usp among it's rivals
Skoda Kushaq vs VW Taigun hmm.. tough choice but Skoda Kushaq edged ahead for me.
Skoda Kushaq looks more premium, front look of Taigun is more resembling Polo! So my choice will be Kushaq 😊
Atleast skoda offered test drive and presales team were good , however volkswagen didnt even call or offer test drive even after weeks of online registration. Hope the kushaq gets the dashboard from slavia , definitely would make a huge difference.
Also autocar missed about the stiff suspension in volkswagen which may result in varying the top speed numbers.
For SUVs : VW
For SEDANS : SKODA
Kushaq 1.5 is just madness. No car give us so great pleasure. A go for Skoda.
Taigun looks more premium 👍
Kushaq looks more unique than trying to look like same car which you can’t even distinguish which model is it in the vw.
Already purchased SKODA kushaq
Korean cousins and now German cousins getting into the act now. Stratified and direct injections are the best boons turbo engines can ever get!
Have they fixed the engine EPC issues? AFAIK they replace some fuel pumps but it didn't resolve the issue for a lot of people.
it was fixed long ago
Kushaq for sure, definitely looks a lot better..
Waiting for VW Tiguan fortunately launching on December 7, would be a good and fresh competition to Jeep Compass, XUV700 & Harrier.
I was very disappointed with the interior of the Taigun. Kushaq feels more plusher. But both the cars should’ve come with at least artificial leather seats for the top models.
If you try to see these two cars side by side, you will realise how similar they are both in the inside and the outside
Bcoz they are same !!
I personally prefer the design for VW.
Looks more elegant I feel
I would buy the Polo and save more than 5-6 lakh rupess and with the same 1.0 TSI engine i can beat both of these cars coz the weight saving and aerodynamics.Polo delivers a better value deal than both of these cars in comparo.
Looks like VW is trying so many ways to push sales and build positive vibe for its product which costs an exhorbitant 22 lacs for top end version
Ecosport with 1tr ecoboost for 12.5 lks was the better suv than these 17+ . Now a days 1tr turbo petrol cars with 17+ onroad is pathetic. Should have had 1.2 - 1.4ltr turbo for such a price.
You should also cover actual city mileage. Petrol certainly isn’t cheap and mileage is also a pillar customer thinks of
If it was With an Diesel on offer it could have been an equal direct competition with creta and seltos... 10kmpl in city mannn now they're mass market cars needs overall performance where mileage can't be neglected in mass market
The Skoda looks so much better than the VW
However taigun's appearance is more better than the once of kushaq but i went with kushaq just because of one feature ventilated seats. Although it was a tough decision for me.
VW for me anyday.
The test drive vehicle from VW had rattling from its rear and driver side doors, suspension felt more hard and appeared more noisy in cabin.
I felt Kushaq had better suspension and less noisy cabin
Yesterday I have booked Skoda kushaq AMT 1.0 TSI style top model orange color. Skoda is very reputed company and Skoda has given their engine and platform to Volkswagen and Skoda kushaq is proven car.And also Skoda maintenance and service is good then Volkswagen. The looks of Skoda kushaq is outstanding then Taigun .I personally refer Skoda kushaq
TAIGUN looks impressive
I prefer VW Taigun based on the only difference the Interior
I really hope indian janta gives these a chance. It's about time we upgraded our standards and choice in cars. Enough of the "tin ka dabbas" in the name of status symbol.
How will this 1.0 ltr engine perform with 5 passengers???
Volkswagen gives terrific safety and awesome driving pleasure but the only issue i found was boot space u uy a 20 lakhs carwith much lesser boot space than your own vento which comes at 14 L.So Family might not prefer this
Is there a difference in suspension hardness and body roll?
Decided to go with Kushaq.
So what's the on road price of the both the cars.
Autocars thumbnails are lit now🔥
thaaank you. .for calling it an engine.got tired of everyone trying to copy the US terminology everywhere.
Taigun Forever
I like the Škoda Kushaq in terms of styling though
Please bring a comparison of taigun with the Kia seltos
I prefer the Kushaq's front and alloy designs.
If you want top model in manual then go with Kushaq, if you love automatic then Gt plus can be choice.
please do seltos vs creta vs astor vs taigun vs kushaq
Do compare these cars (1.0 AT) with the Astor 1.5 CVT !
When kushaq appeared from behind the taigun, chill went through the spine🔥
Taigun or kushaq base ? Which one should take
Bought a kushaq and it's a beast
I went with Kushaq
Its high time that you guys should start giving your marvalous work in 4K please
Great video
Can you Pls bring a drag race of 1.5L petrol manual CIAZ and VERNA
Verna will win definitely 😊
Kushaq of course
Can you compare 2023 or 2024 versions?
Why don't you guys do a creta vs seltos for the 1.5 p with a manual as well
Skoda kushaq because of soft suspension setup.
Kushaq anyday!!!
Both have same suspension tuning???i thought kushaq's is a bit softer than taigun ...
Kushaq looks.more mature simple yet more rugged one 👌👍
Kushaq looks good better than vw
The kushaq somehow reminds me of Pontiac Aztec for some reason
Finally taigun is the winner🥳
Kushaq for me. That grill always works
VW Has good an large circles in Showroom an service
Taiguns front and kushaqs back side would be best for me ❤
I went for taigun 1.0 topline as skoda kushaq interior quality i didnt like taigun is awesome
Vw group ❤️
Was eagerly awaiting the video drop, the moment the web article was shared on Facebook, thank you! 😇
Guy please bring 1.0 automatic comparison of these sweet sweet machines , I know Autocar is capable of that
Skoda kushaq the king❤️
Need comparison between Taigun Vs Creata VS Kushaq Vs Seltos
That chrome lip on the taigun completely ruins its sharp look...specially in other colors.
Polo is the 1L tsi to go for
The subwoofer hidden in the boot makes it a better choice...
KUSHAQ the king
Hands down kushaq
I prefer taigun, it's more quicker.
Taigun ....all the way
Skoda Kushaq the great as per my view.
Taigun
much needed comparison.thanks
9:20 only this variant of this engine get ventilated seats were as the Kus haq gets this feature on both the engine of the top variant
@users , How's the performance of the cars, in performance and in terms of engine? Heard engine was unreliable and service was so so.
Can anybody guide?
Thanks in advance
Which car suspension is smooth
Taigun looks more premium 🔥🔥🔥…
Kushaq lookwise is way better than taigun
Presenter is really good !! Appreciate his skills !! Keep it up !! Cheers
MG Astor is better option to pick over these two cars as it's bigger in size, more appealing n also has road presence.
The 1.5 NA engine in Astor is sluggish and doesn't come close to this 1.0 TSI engine now proven in all cars like Rapid to Polo TSI
Taigun.
Hard decision to make😔
Futuristic design with better performance and interiors..Taigun anyday!
Kushaq looks better...
Really keen to know how these cars perform on a full load.
I choose the Mahindra XUV700
