On Indian roads, how does the Kushaq ride quality compare to its competitors?
by Ashutoshover 1 year ago0 views7 comments
Roads in India can be very different from smooth highways to pothole filled city roads to rough rural roads. The diversity in road conditions makes ride quality a high consideration criterion for most Indian car buyers. European engineering in the Skoda Kushaq has made it a car that’s been talked about for its handling and comfort. But the opinions seem to differ on how well it fares against other rivals such as Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos or even Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara on regular Indian roads. Some like its balanced suspension setup, but others say its too stiff for Indian conditions. This, and the related topic of ideal suspension tuning for Indian roads, often ends up in debates about whether European cars need to be specially adapted for the Indian market.

It's a mixed bag. Good on the highways, but a tad harsh in the city. I think adjustable suspension would be a good option for Skoda.

In fact, I actually prefer the firmer ride of the Kushaq. It makes me feel more connected to the road and gives better feedback. Not all love a floating carpet ride.

The ride is fine, but I would have liked for Skoda to have tuned it a bit softer for India. It's sometimes like they just copied the European setup without taking our roads into account.

It all depends on what you're used to. Being from a Maruti, the Kushaq felt really plush to me. My friend who owns a Seltos says it's too firm, though.

It's firmer than a Creta for sure, but that's not a bad thing. At high speeds, the Kushaq feels more planted and more confident. I'm happy with that trade off.

Honestly, the ride of the Kushaq is a bit too stiff for Indian roads. On smooth highways, it’s great; in the city, it’s jarring over potholes and speed breakers.

I have driven the Kushaq extensively and believe it is a great balance. You feel sporty but it soaks up bumps well. Way better than my old Creta.
