    Please VW/Skoda listen to this man! He is an ardent well-wisher of you. But very knowledgeable at the same time. It's emotional for him and many like him to see good products from your company falling behind others because of small things.

      VW /Skoda doesnt need turbo engine both the Cars have excellent stability/Handling which other Cars like seltos /Creta have worst stability . Even handling is an issue in Creta/Seltos . What is use the If u have all disc brake in Hyundai Tucson if apply very sharp sudden braking , vehicle will wobble /it may topple . Worst stability in Hyundai/kia . This fellow is crap

    1) "Isko chalaoge to segment me baaki cars bhul jaoge"
    2) "Paint Quality aisi ki saalo baad bhi gaadi dikhe nayi jaisi"
    3) After closing the door " Volkswagen...Build Quality, Safety jo feel karaye Tank jaisi"/ Build Quality that feels like a Tank..
    4) "Ek baar chalakr to dekho"

      vw/skoda needs some updates but i think their primary focus is good drive + great build. the market sentiment here focus i think is more on feature/gimmicks or mileage which is why kia/hyundai/maruthi are successful despite of questionable build qualities. on the other hand tata and mahindra build quality is great and engines are decent too…so id compare vw/skoda to them.
      Having said that, yea reasonable updates to some features would make their price point more attractive

    I have bought Kushaq 1.0AT last year and driven 16k km till now. Car is fabulous but given a chance to buy again for same cost I would chose Elevate today. Reasons
    1. Air leakage inside cabin, even when AC is OFF
    2. AC performance in peak summer
    3. Rattling and squeezing noise
    4. High assesories and part cost
    5. Low resale value
    6. AC touch panel is risky to operate while driving.
    7. Interior doesn't look premium
    8. Look small on road
    9. Manual gearbox isn't smooth

    Very true “kuch chije zaroori nehi India hai toh India jaise he ho”. India market is demanding and competition is growing if VW wants to be in the market they have to give more good feature. In t-roc 2021 they removed lot of good feature which are now in almost all Indian Cars. I feel sad that those features were removed by saying this is not used in India market and are not required on Indian roads. But I am still happy with my t-roc because of its practicality some features are missing but still I am happy.

  • @AdvManikSharma
    @AdvManikSharma 7 місяців тому +3

    My wishlist:
    1. They should provide colour changeable ambient light and virtual cockpit. Infact virtual cockpit colours are changeable through coding so whats stopping vw to just enable it through software.
    2. Hardware AC controls are available in T Cross (taigun) in foreign markets. So they can just lift the hardware from there at no extra cost.
    3. They should raise the seat belt receiver unit. Its very hard to put on seat belt for heavy passengers.
    4. They should try to develop an ecosystem for accessories. They should launch accessories store through their website where consumers can directly purchase the accessories. Indian love accessorising their cars. It will provide an additional marketplace for skoda/ vw too.
    5. They should add a padding at the corner of rear seats just like they provide in Skoda Kamiq in europe. It would provide a little more confortable seating to rear passengers.
    6. They should provide LED setup in fog lamps too. Yellow fogs although are better for sure but it just downgrades the front modern look of kushaq. They do provide white fogs in Kodiaq.
    7. They can provide autonomous self parking in these cars. It would really differentiate them from the segment and add that wow factor too.
    Lastly, I just hope the retrofitting culture like polo starts in kushaq/ taigun too so that current owners have option to add latest features as per their wish.

    • @AdvManikSharma

    Brilliant analysis as usual Paaji 💯🤘🏻 Skoda-Volkswagen both cars from them Taigun/Kushaq no doubt require major upgrade as highlighted. The international face-lift is already out with major upgrade and design change known as T-Cross and interior changes as well. Agreed that they should improve on many quality points in terms of fit and finish especially in interiors. If they do not give ADAS as well its fine but 360 degree camera fit & finish improvement and features of polo that they have taken out should be brought back in. Also now Skoda VW will announce their plan on 27th Feb about their products and plans. They are open to partnership and already Mahindra & JSW are in race for buying stake for EV business. Volkswagen already is working on Low cost EV headed by Skoda. Secondly the sub 4 meter SUV which is being again built on MQB-A0-IN platform I read only Skoda will come in that segment Volkswagen might enter or may not enter that segment. I feel Volkswagen should also enter the segment. And they can also spawn a hatchback. The tax rule in which they can bring in 2000 units of cars from outside India like they brought in T-ROC earlier. I feel they should try to sell Skoda Scala with 1.TSI that would do Amazing stuff for them if the price comes on right point. 💯🤘🏻

    The only required feature for me was auto folding orvm's and defogger..
    But considering an average indian customer, based on the price , the car does miss important features...
    For someone upgrading from a smaller car, atleast
    1. front parking sensors should come as standard,
    2. 6 airbags as standard now that it comes in Sonet base models....
    3. A/C controls units should be manual instead of touch...
    4. Fit n Finish are still a concern.
    5. The service and dealership experience should be LARGELY CHECKED.. I had requested for some minor accessories like aluminium paddle and it's been 1.5 months they still don't have it...

    Sunderdeep ji, I have a few points to contribute as a recent Kushaq style 1.5 dsg owner. Driven 5K kms in a span of 45 days and now few things have come to light.
    1.Build quality can be great from safety perspective but from day to day driving point of view, i keep getting khach khach sound from door panels and touchscreen area, which is unacceptable from a car of this price.
    2. Driver side window up/down is buggy (again a well known issue). Also it makes irritating noise and is very slow.
    3. No dedicated call disconnect button, which was present in my baleno of half price. A button which says Button without function on click is a joke in today's world, ideally it should have been user configurable.
    4. Car can be locked even if fuel lid is open.
    5. As you mentioned, touch panels for AC is very odd coming from a company which focuses on driver safety.
    Overall i can live with all these, because I simply love driving this car and nothing comes anywhere close to that. But if VAG wants to increase their sales then acc to me, they should focus on fixing all these issues/bugs along with bringing new features.

    Agree with you. These cars are matchless in their price segment and sheer pleasure to drive. However, public perception focuses more on gizmos. Besides, other manufacturers are tweaking their cars to pass safety tests despite having a relatively unstable structure. SAVW really need an updated, fully loaded top model.

    Very well said brother even I am a German car lover specially these Volkswagen and Skoda but they really have to understand that they cannot play with just one one competitive edge which is thier build quality because if you are not giving safety features while driving like adas then it won't really help customers getting diverted towards your brand,No matter how useful adas is on Indian roads but still it gives satisfaction to customers for what they are paying.
    Atleast basic features a 360 degree camera is a must.

Those who goes for funky design cars, then Germans are not meant for them. The true Škoda VW lovers wants a timeless design and an update after 5-6 years. My slavia turned 2 years now and I think it is beautiful than all other cars verna, city, seltos etc. I just love them and with this design and features I am ready to spend another 5 more years.No need for ADAS now. I just love my slavia as it is

    they should have localised a car like Skoda karoq which looks muscular and a proper suv personally i think taigun looks like a jacked up hatchback. other factors like panaromic sunroof which people like should be given and indian people go with engine size ki bo kitne CC ka hai lay man does not get how the turbo performs against more displacement they should give the old 1.2 tsi or 1.5 mpi and also the epc error in beginning made people reluctant do go with the brand

    Very valid point about a top top variant to raise the bar. The ₹1.5L premium might be music to their ears and yet they will have their ifs and buts manifested as not doing a thing! In fact, to your point about a highest specced variant, my personal experience of a Kushaq 1.5 DSG Monte Carlo is that it can be built much much better. So don't just be receptive to customer demands/tastes for a refresh, but also stick to your DNA of build and safety (4 disc brakes) at a minimum. Much desired!!

    Specially which no others brand was offering even earlier. MUST NEEDED
    Signature horn required must.
    360 degree camera must
    Hood insulation sheet,
    Green tint glass, defogger in outside rear view mirror
    And trully said by Sunderdeep ji beige interior MUST.
    These are minute change and basic changes with low cost increase will put impact in market..
    Hope vw listen on these facts

  • @gp_here
    @gp_here 7 місяців тому

    Adas I can't comment on, but 6 airbags as standard, rear disc brakes, tint glass (GV top variant has this I guess) and rotary AC knob should be definitely given. 360 degree camera can be an accessory I think because you already have the button for it.
    Hood insulation and underbody cover together will cost under 5000 bucks. They are not even selling it as an accessory.
    There's one small game changer I can think of: How about instead of goodyear and MRF tyres, VAG gives an option to upgrade to atleast a brigestone turanza (awesome grip, but noisy) or some Michelin?

    It is not easy to make a car popular. But once you make it popular (to some extent it is now true for Kushaq, taigun, slavia and virtus), you hold on to advantage and not squander it like Duster (Renault) and Ecosport (Ford). VW/ Skoda are at the inflection point from where they can either further consolidate their market or just squander it. As a Kushaq owner, I hope and pray that former will be true.
