Skoda Kushaq is a compact SUV that takes on likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and Renault Duster. This article will give you a perspective of its engine specs and mileage.
What Is The Power & Torque Of Skoda Kushaq?
The Kushaq will be offered with two engine options to choose from: a 1.0-litre TSI petrol (115PS/175Nm) and a 1.5-litre TSI (150PS/250Nm). Both the engines are mated to a 6-speed MT as standard with the option of 6-speed AT and 7-speed DSG with 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre engines, respectively. Skoda will offer the Kushaq in three variants: Active, Ambition and Style.
Here is the list of available engine-transmission options depending on the variant:
Is Kushaq Underpowered?
Although we are yet to drive the production-spec SUV, we got a chance to drive the pre-production model. The 1.0-litre TSI engine offers good drivability in the city and is powerful enough for highway drives. The 1.5-litre engine, being a bigger engine, offers more power and torque and is sportier to drive. If you plan to drive the SUV fully loaded with 5 occupants and boot, you will be better off having the 1.5-litre TSI unit.
How Many Cylinders Does Skoda Kushaq Have?
The Kushaq will be offered with two petrol engines: a 1.0-litre TSI and a 1.5-litre TSI. While the 1.0-litre engine is a 3-cylinder unit, the 1.5-litre engine is a 4-cylinder unit.
What Is The Mileage Of Skoda Kushaq?
The Kushaq 1.0-litre TSI has a fuel economy of 17.88kmpl and 15.78kmpl for manual and automatic transmission, respectively. Skoda has not yet revealed official fuel economy figures for the Kushaq 1.5-litre TSI. However, it is expected to be around 17kmpl for 1.5-litre engines, respectively.
