Skoda Kushaq 1.0L vs hills | Underpowered or not? | TOI Auto

- The Skoda Kushaq SUV comes with two engine options that include a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder unit and a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder engine. Out of the two, the smaller engine has been the subject of doubt for some. Its capability to cope with various terrains and carry the load of the vehicle was properly tested during one of our recent drives up the hills of Mussoorie.

The Kushaq is an engineering marvel , Škoda has delighted me as a customer time and again with this beautiful car.
Exactly what I was looking for! your reviews & coverage are the best
Also factor in that ac would not have been used while climbing due to winters, it can be challenging if ac has to be used while climbing up
I recently bought a 1.0 tsi taigun manual. Few days back I took it to a hill station with 5 people and some luggage. Normal hills it had no problem climbing. But steep uphills, I had to shift to 1st gear. And also on such steep uphills if I had to stop in between and then start, I did feel the power lag and honestly it was frustrating. I had to rev the engine with half clutch to prevent the car from moving backwards. But otherwise it’s a brilliant car. And I own the highlline version and it doesn’t come with hill stop assist
It's 100% true, I own Kushaq and it has the same problem. Everyone usually goes with their friends or family with full loaded car and many time we are using the AS as well but at that time on the steeps its totally non performing asset. I'm driving car from last 20 years but on hills I'm not confident with this car I've cover the north east terrain with this car and I had a lot of issues while coming on hills. After 4000 rpm its AC also stop cooling the car.
Bro same thing happened with my skoda kushaq 1.0L engine. Recently I visited uttrakhand and experienced the same things as yours but my father is professional so he handled it..😅
Same happened to me. Really I have disappointed in this. Other than this problem everything is good.
The rev limiter becomes a pain if you are stuck uphill. You cannot rev it till 6k rpm to pull it in slight offroad conditions where cars like venue and brezza easily pull off.
How does the 1.5 Ltr. DSG compares with the 1Ltr. Torque Converter automatic, in climbing hills with rough roads not the smooth roads you were driving?
Boss I think this is not right test you are show casing in front of us. I own Kushaq and it has alot of issue on mountains. Everyone usually goes with their friends or family with full loaded car and many time we are using the AS as well but at that time on the steeps its totally non performing asset. I'm driving car from last 20 years and had visited lot of hill stations but I'm not confident with this car bcoz of turbo issue over the hills, I've cover the north east terrain with this car and I had a lot of issues while driving on hills. Mussoorie is not too hill to judge this and you are driving alone. After 4000 rpm its AC also stop cooling the car. Boss this is not the right image you are showcasing infront of us.
I have also gone on the mountains with Kushaq. Must be the roads but I find it to be super quick to over take and climb the hills.
I think you should get it checked..
@@TheBepacificwith AC on full blast? And fully loaded car...?
The initial lag is going to frustrate the driver when crawling in jam on an incline with 4 people and luggage, and it would be quite a challenge to reverse it from standstill on an incline without going downhill for a second due to initial lag.
Have u test drove it in a similar situation ?
It wont it has hill hold assist
@@muhammadarshiq6365yes it causes a lot of problem when there is a little bit of loss of traction. The rev limiter also becomes a problem if you are stuck uphill on a "kacchi" road.
@@thewanderer3929Do you own one or have you driven it in such conditions?
@@SaiKiran-fv1ng Have driven my friend's virtus several times on such conditions. Basically what happens when it stucks in muddy and dusty Kacchi uphill you can't full launch it at 5000+ rpm.
Make video of Elevate like this
Was the AC on the whole time?
There are only two occupants in the car. Still you mentioned that there is some lag in power delivery.
With five occupants and their luggage, it will probably struggle to climb.
It depends on low gear high rpm.... Mileage will drop. If need more power buy 1.5L
It's better to put it in manual and use paddle shifters in that case. Local drivers put 5 people in Alto or Eon and climb steeper climbs.. Just put in manual and shift according to load
That's turbo lag. Power is sufficient
@@darkduaEon and alto is a much more lightweight car
@@darkduainsulted alto😂
Can you please reveal the Fuel economy you achieved ?
With kushaq 1 L and 5 person seated, car will climp the hill road With out any issue???
I am planning to buy kushaq.
Nothing can sell this brilliant car unless Skoda and VW change themselves into a reliable and dependable Car manufacturers and service provider.
Too many buyers burnt their fingers and now peace loving buyers do not want to buy Kushaq
Kushaq active variant is value for money
Kushaq is worth to bye. Its safe to drive.
*buy
I dont understand why the hell everybody is reviewing on automatic, which is not that common, or atleast give comment on manual gear model also. Coz there is hell lot of difference in handling and feel even in two automatics , rest alone the manual one
Climb to lal tibba then say it that 1.0 ltr engine is capable
Kushaqs average is pathetic even in the city,mine run 7000km and gives 9.5 average in city,my father’s honda city gives in same terrain 12.8,that the difference ,regret i bought this car
1 L or 1.5L / Manual or AT
@@sumanthkooloth8105 1L AT
Exaggerated average its 7-8 only
