Skoda slashes the price of Kushak

The Skoda Kushak is now priced at ₹9.99 Lakh (ex-showroom), thanks to the introduction of the new entry-level Kushak Active piece variant, which sits below the Kushak Active (₹10.99 Lakh). This is the second new variant added by Skoda to the Kushaq SUV line-up.

The new Skoda Kushak Active Peace variant misses out on the touchscreen infotainment system and speakers that are standard on the predecessor base variant – Kushak Active (₹10.99 Lakh). The new Kushak Active piece still comes with steering-mounted audio controls, which can be useful if buyers choose to fit an aftermarket audio system.

This also makes the entry price of the Kushk Rs 1 lakh cheaper than that of its sister-model, the Volkswagen Taigun, with prices starting at Rs 10.99 lakh for the entry-level Comfortline variant.

As far as engine and gearbox options are concerned, this variant is only available with a 115hp, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox.
