- In this video, we're putting the Skoda Kushaq up against the Volkswagen Taigun. These two mid-size SUVs share the same platform and engines, but there's a fair bit that is different between them. For starters, the styling is radically different and so is the layout of the dash. Meanwhile, equipment levels are nearly on par and so are prices. Which of these two SUVs should you be looking at? Watch the full video to find out!

Which of these two SUVs would you rather have in your garage?
Taigun 🙌
Neither. Have they sorted out the fuel pump issue. I'd be wary of both. And for the money, I think XUV700 makes sense 😎
Kushaq...😎⚡
T Roc
None
Taigun looks classy
Kushaq looks Stylish
Kushaq’s alloys are stunning🔥🔥 i think kushaq look much better
Taigun isnt top model
@@adarshbhavsar122 both are 1.5 manual
@@saabisan7291 kushaq is 1.0 Style variant, watch the video again
@@saabisan7291 1.5 manul doesn't come in top end trim for VW. No leds, no 17inch alloys etc
VW looks classy..
Even the taigun highline auto gets cruise control. There is a misprint in its brochure.
@Nabeel Nawab sir waiting to see u doing apple car review in future 😅😅
Sure???
Nope.. only the automatic gets cruis control.. not the manual
No, it don't have cruise control.
@@sujatapal8389 yes
very detailed and clear no nonsense video, it helped a lot,
my uncle was asking my suggestion for a under 15L car my choice/advice for him was these 2 & this video helped me to decide thanks a lot and i subscribed.
keep up the Good work
Kushaq's exterior + Taigun's interior
I recommend manufacturers should also include a de_chromed spec considering the amount of chrome painted into the vehicle
rightly said.
Indian versions are more chromed that it looks decorative 👎
Kushaq looks subtle styling, dignified and sharp. It keeps looking good for a long time.
Mmm. No. 6 Speed manual gearbox across all variants of Taigun except GT+
Test drove Taigun topline yesterday... Enjoyed the drive ❤️❤️❤️
My question is why don’t you (auto journaling channels) mention the issues present in these new cars? The Kushaq has an EPC issue resulting in breakdowns on road, which might probably lead to a recall with users facing it even after a replaced pump.
Yes
Also the issues regarding service of VW group cars! I know of Skoda Octavias sitting in service centres for 2 months for new radiators!
Skoda has a bad customer service issue
Seen few cases of EPC issues shared in Teambhp.
Paisa babu bhaiya...paisa..
Sab paise Ka khel Hai...
Starting to become a fan EVO India 🙌 Love the review and everything 🙌❤️
Kushaq is a lot more stylish and sharp looking. The Kushaq would be my pick.
TAIGUN is my pick
I would prefer Taigun classy!!!
@Kannan Muthuraja Looks like your mom too.
We booked Skoda Kushaq 🙌🏻
Very detailed! I’m considering the Taigun but I’m a bit worried about the EPC issue which has plagued both the cars. Any comments on that?
Much needed video❤️👍🏻
Thank you so much guys. I really loved the video.
Taiguns design looks timeless...
Excellent review
It’s quite difficult to choose from these 2 German brands 👍🏽
Yes, I know it's one company, under the wings of VW, but Škoda is a traditional Czech brand with a long history, collaboration of both = only top quality (GER and CZE - not only in the automotive industry); anyway, the medium-sized SUV brothers, all made in India, are, even from my European point of view, very very nice ...
Yes, Sirish and Aatish, absolutely agree with your review. Ultimately it’s the service and the Brand one has to associated with here.
As I am POLO user from last 6 years. I want to be associated with VW for sure😀
Glad to help!
Would you go for the xuv700
@@superior7387 noooooooooooooooo
The Topline AT of Taigun has 6 airbags which is a big + over Škoda Style AT. So with all features common, Taigun becomes an obvious choice. Competition is actually b/w Taigun Highline and Škoda Ambition.
Soon evo india will reach 1 million+ subscribers.all the best👍🏼
Evo India, please do talk on mileage part especially considering the fact that they don’t come in diesel anymore.. Petrol prices are in 3 digit numbers now a days .. Are these really worth picking in terms of running costs ??
The GT Manual 148bhp is very appealing, but the lack of features on it is very shocking. Basically, they are telling us, if you want Manual 148bhp, go for Skoda, and pick VW for Automatic. The sales still remain in the group. Would have loved to have a fully loaded GT Manual in Taigun, they can remove the useless features like the sunroof and virtual cockpit. But 148bhp requires 6 airbags. VG have been silly in their offering of variants
The best use of 1.5 petrol is in sedan
( Specially in 1.5 manual) for real fun to drive nature with normal hand break ( not that electric parking break )
Rally want to see this 1.5 in vw and Skoda upcoming sedan's
Nah octavia has got 2L engine
Taigun GT + in MT is what I am looking at. Current line up Kushaq 1.5 style makes sense
The Kushaq is the more desirable of the two. It's a good thing they're bringing the updated Style DSG with 6 airbags soon. That was a massive mistake from day 1.
💪
It's foggy, it's drizzling, It must be muddy yet the cars look super clean. Look at the radials...spic and span. True car lovers respect the aesthetics of it. Appreciate your PROFESSIONALISM. Impressed.
Superb video, very detailed
💪
Nice comparison...good job...
Thank you
When is Kushak Monte Carlo planned? Loved the SUV during test drive. Would like to have things we have seen in Kamiq Monte Carlo
Nice video but If am buying I would prefer Kushaq style over taigun gt plus because of sharp and bold looks , interiors , features like leatherette seats ,led projector headlights, subwoofer,cooled and ventilation seats ,Roll over protection and also alloys styling.
I really liked this comparison cn u also compare taigun with magnate plzzzz.......🙏🙏🙏🙏
What about the EPC issues.Any explanation on those would be nice
Would you suggest to go for dsg over torque converter for long term, Sirish .?
I have heard of skoda service guys from Pune... They are really very good and always appreciated
Not a fair comparison in my opinion.
Taigun top line vs style would’ve been a better comparison
Top line does not come with 1.5 dsg so this is a good comparison. They reviewed the most expensive Taigun and the most expensive kushaq
@@awesomekalyana15 most expensive taigun is the gt+
Important features which is missing out in taigun 1.5 manual eg: ordinary alloy wheels, no push button start. no sensor handles to open doors, no cruise control, did you mention these ?
Skoda Kushaq impressed me a lot.
Hope Skoda Kushaq fixes the EPC issues and other quality issues inside soon..
Exactly. This is what i was looking for🎉🎉
I've had a test ride of both taigun topline 1.0 n kushaq 1.5 style MT. Outside looks of kushaq are killer no doubt. But as soon as u enter the cabin, the interior feels cheap and nowhere close to being called PREMIUM. Taigun interior looks n feels premium, the leather seats are wayy nicer than those of kushaq. The driving dynamics are surprisingly different. The taigun felt much tighter and composed and had much better handling. Kushaq dint feel like a skoda to be honest. Sorry to say that but that's the bitter truth. If only taigun offered a topline 1.0 comparable variant in GT+ MANUAL.... now I've to choose where to compromise - features or engine or spend extra on DSG when I'm a fan of manual gearbox 🙄
I too love manual gearbox.
clutch play is harder abit in Kushaq
the VW Baby has a slightly better medium grade clutch action in shifting!
Arw they going to bring woven roofline?
Or just going to improve the structure
Well explained 🙏🙏🙏
Hey team evo, have booked MG Astor 1.5 sharp without ADAS for approx 17.5 lkhs on road....can you please advise if VW topline AT 1.0 with a differential cost of 1 lkh wud make more sense? My criteria 6 airbags plus esp, tc.....
Plz comment on drivability , NVH , Price , equipment list of 1.5 manual....... I m a driving enthusiast........ Drivability and NVH specially...... For both of them
Kushaq is clear winner with sexy Steering wheel, premium exteriors and interior. Class apart
Best review ever on kushaq ..... 🤩
Woow I was waiting for this one …
🤙
@@evoIndia Astor or Kushaq?
Can you please suggest me which one should I buy. Bit confused. Please suggest me among...Slavia 1lt , Honda city petrol/diesl, VW Tiagun 1lt, vw Virtus 1lt. I heard that Honda city diesel generates noise in cabin. I travel Max 200km on average per month. Please suggest. Thank You.
A good video. However, what about the EPC issue which is being seen in Kushaq cars? Is the company working on it and getting it rectified?
That's resolved with replacement of the new fuel pump
@@rajeshagooner 👍👍👍
Well agreed with the review. The problem is that I like skoda kushaq auto topline and my wife likes vw taigun auto topline. Can't decide which one to go for
Which one did you go for then?
I have a similar situation, but vice versa
I had similar doubt.. I also liked Taigun a lot but now I am buying Skoda because of its look and size is bigger than Taigun. Yes, it’s really tough to decide .
Very well done comparison and as you rightly pointed with prices being so close, the swing to one or another is a matter of personal choice. For me VW pulls my heart strings more than Skoda and another factor is the non-ventilated seats in my opinion are better than ventilated ones on Skoda as their firmness is just right. Ventilated seats in general are little harder, to maintain the integrity of those air channels in longer run. So in my opinion that too should be a factor while deciding which way one wants to go.
Well said 👍
taigun has ventilated seats in 1.0 top model but not in 1.5 tsi
Skoda looks more 🔥
☺️
i didnt buy skoda just because the seats were hard in comparision to mg astor.
Waiting for EPC issues, has VW sorted it out..or...will it give trouble like Skoda Kushaq, which is basically the same car..? Even after fuel pump replacement..the issue continues
I was amazed by clouds in background.
watched more than the cars 😂
😂
Which location it is and what time of year? Location is really amazing besides cars.
You mention the difference in the guage of steel in both models - can you please elaborate ?
Much awaited
Can you please do a comparison between Octavia and Compass.
If it were the previous gen models I'm talking about, I'd go for Octavia. But it's not the same anymore. Compass has improved significantly while Octavia facelift isn't that exciting enough. Both are quite higher in price than the previous gen too.
At the end of the day, I wanna know which one will be money well spent 😊
Both of them are of different classes. Sedans and SUVs aren't easy to compare. It all depends on your personal requirements. If you want to go more off roads, more mountains, go for compass, though I'd suggest you to wait for some time and go for hyundai tuscon(though it's still better than compass). If you're mainly a city and highway driver with less ofroading, go for Octavia anyday. That car is great
I practically like the taigun's interior than skoda kushaq but in looks skoda is stunning 😍
What a joke bhai kushaq interiors Feels more premium because of 2 spoke steering and rollers
And piano finish strip on dashboard and floating display is like audi
Hey Sirish, you mentioned that the Skoda notchback, that’s coming out very soon, has the roof lining quality taken care of already. Which model would that be? And when it is expected to be announced?
late 2021 is what they initially planned, but might go to early 2022. Expect same quality and materials as kushaq, just that body type is sedan.
There has been no official announcement yet, but do stay tuned to know more
@evo India Kindly make a comparo of all 1.0lt Turbo Petrol sub compact SUVs available in the market.
Will do 👍
You really explain well..
Thank you so much. We hope this helps you!
Only minor difference between their on road price. Moreover Taigun GT+ 1.5 TSI DSG is approx 20k cheaper than Kushaq 1.5 TSI DSG so my pick is definitely the Taigun GT+ anytime anyday.
This is what called real review most of them do not say the actual price only say the price of the car variant they are reviewing you guys are great I am choosing Skoda kushak 1.5 litre GT full option automatic dsg ❤
Great review, Evo team. Just a query as a potential Kushaq buyer, will the updated better quality roof lining be replaced for the existing owners as well?
There has been no official announcement from Skoda yet
Sir, *Should be SUVW Taigun 1.5 TSI GT+ Manual With all features and Build Quality*
*Below are some of the features missing in the GT MT as against the GT DSG trim:*
- Side and curtain airbags
- Cruise Control
- Halogen headlights with LED DRLs, instead of LED projector headlamps
- Smaller, 16-inch, plain-silver alloy wheels with 205/60 R16 tyres
- Virtual cockpit
- Ventilated seats (present in the 1.0 top-end. - Inexplicably missing in the GT DSG too!)
- Auto-dimming IRVM
- Auto headlamps
- Sunroof
- Black contrast roof
- Matte plastic for B and C-pillars instead of better-looking gloss plastic
- Keyless entry, chrome window-line, chrome-lined door handles. Heck, even the driver side door doesn't get a slot for the key, nor a keyless entry request sensor!
Surprising , Taigun doesn’t have sunroof in Manual . Def taigun has a better design . It’s a great review guys . Thanks a lot 👍🏻
its there in topline
Kushaq is more sophisticated and feels more premium. Lesser cost on Exterior has helped them invest more in the interior. Dont forget the new steering feels so good to hold compared to Taigun.
The two-spoke steering wheel does look cool 😍
As far I read most of them are with EPC issues..
Please help to choose between the two for 1.5L DSG
which has better suspension
?
Is there any update on roof lining replacement of current owners???
I am really a taigun fan. And taigon is too famous but Skoda is a rare so both will be nice and very thx for ur informations
Please make a vedio on taigun 1.0 topline vs kushaq 1.0 style
The selection of cars here gives us an Idea of the age of the buyer, the VW will appeal to folks who are 35+ seeking smart sophisticated design. And the Kushaq will cater to the age group of 20+ who need something young and radical.
Completely wrong.. Stop these foolish predictions
In my experience , I've found older men (50+ ) to like the design of Kushaq. Taigun felt for them underwhelming.
@@anoop8610 I agree, but my line of thought is much better than the hosts saying buy the car based on your relationship with the dealer 😂
@Nikhil 7 appreciate the input, mine was a very generic statement, considering i am associated with one of the dealership (can't tell which one). And this is based on the reaction of customers walking in. Again, everyone is entitled for their own decission and I respect that.
@Nikhil 7 My grandfather 110 likes tiagun.
When is the Monte carlo edition gonna launch?
I booked skoda Kushaq 1.5 liter AT, 6 airbags from raja skoda in Bengaluru and the delivery was promised in December. Once the loan
amount is transferred to them now they say that they will deliver it in January/February as currently they don't have 1.5 liter engine and can
give me 1.0 liter engine. I am wondering how the overall post buying experience will be based on this experience while buying itself
Would have appreciated Taigun without or minimum Chromes .
Personally liked the front of the Kushaq & Rear of Taigun.
To stay in competition with established Creata & Seltos they will have to offer over Safety few Extra feel good feature in the Base Plus (Kushaq Active Plus & Comfortline Plus) Variant. Like Height Adjustable Driver Seat, Rear - Washer-Wiper, Defogger, Reverse Parking Camera & Alloy Wheels at an incremental price ₹70-80K maximum.
Maybe customers can buy Alloys from Showroom or After-Sales market.
they are giving some kit like esp , brake disc wiping , differential lock , roll over mitigation , brake assist which are all safety features which you only get in sx or htx model of creta and seltos and a turbo engine in base model which isn’t there in both koreans lower models
@@blondedsky You are absolutely right. But to stay ahead of completion you have to offer same + extra as Wow factor in in your Base+Plus variant. That's little more than Base at extra cost to neutralize the competition variant offers.
For budget buyers, comlarison of base variant would be more valuable. But reviewers never do that. Many of us would appreciate if does so...
Should I wait for the roof liner issue to fix on Taigun I have already booked the GT plus which they are going to deliver on 15 Oct, please let me know or will they be fixing that post-delivery free of cost ...otherwise, I can ask them to wait for few more months...thanks
We don't think a roof liner is the reason to delay buying a car. Congratulations on your purchase and wish you happy motoring!
Informative video 👍🏼
Variant explanation was needed
✌️
Taigun 1.5gt automatic anyday as I'm a polo gt dsg user ❤️❤️❤️
Please make video comparison of 1.5 dsg of both kushaq and taigun.
Can be done
@AATISH you indicated in table for VW Taigun Topline that it’s 5 Speed MT which is not correct. It’s actually 6 Speed MT.
Hope you agree😀
I hope Sireesh and Aatish will look at comments related to suggestions and corrections too.
I am not sure you are only interested in likes, appreciations related comments.
When a viewer pointed out some errors in your video, it’s your responsibility to acknowledge and correct the errors.
Skoda should launch 1.5 engine option in the Ambition variant as well
Guys need you suggestion.
My budget is of Kushaq Ambition and Taigun High-line manual variants.
Does Taigun comes with better handling, build quality and safety feature compare to Kushaq ?
Pls suggest which one to buy
Kushaq ambition if if you don't want wireless charging..Both are same cars
I have heard that Taigun is better in terms of build quality and handling... is it true or both are same
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 is 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
Exactly!!! Agree with you kaustubh. I drove both the cars yesterday and felt Taigun is better to drive . Kushaq is looking stunning in features n slightly back comparing to Taigun drive performance
@@vigneshelango8828 thanks for affirmative.. Yes Taigun Drives better than kushaq with an acute difference.
I am getting a good deal on kushaq, so little interested in that ..
@@kaustubhdange9400 which model you are buying?
@@nickjones2813 I brought Kushaq ambition 1.0 AT.. I got really good year-end deal on kushaq and I personally liked the product compared to VW. I liked the suspension and looks of this vehicle .
@@kaustubhdange9400 what is on road price you baught?
Pl do a comparison video of these VW skoda twins base with top variant of models one segment below(sonet,Nexon,Xuv300) so as to conclude vfm option for prospective buyers
Cool idea 👍 In the meantime we have compared the Skoda Kushaq with its segment rivals and you can check out that video here - czcams.com/video/ktBc3OmWEGI/video.html
@@evoIndia iv already gone ahead and bought myself a Nexon 😜...but still interested to see how the kushaq compares against cars a segment below in terms of size, comfort n performance
I am inclined more towards skoda ..
Thought it’s less on features from taigun
But skoda s design I just love ..
Thanks 🙏
Taigun1.0 or kushaq 1.0 which one is best choice?
how about a comparison between 6/7 seater SUVs - XUV700, Safari, Alcazar, Hector plus and throw in the Compass and Tucson as well...(although they r only 5 seaters)
That's a cool idea
feel of gear lever isn't great too in comparison to currently available from Rapid
same ditto car, go with the design + features which you like and ull be happy..
Both are good looking cars hard to pickup one from the other.
I choose kushaq over taigun. But i love the dashboard on taigun and i want it in kushaq!
Disappointed that the video didn’t bring out the differences in the dynamics and driving feel of the cars.
Taigun does not get driver seat height adjustment in base variant. Kushaq gets its. Have not been able to see any other difference in this trim, though the 7” display looks better in Taigun than Kushaq
👍🏻 excellent
Plz make a Throwback classic video on Trax as Gurkha is launch from first gen basic look to latest toofan crusier trax
Will do
will there be any mechanical changes to monte carlo version
They better bring a panoramic sunroof 😄
Kushaq looks cool & bold 😎
