Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which one is the best Skoda Kushaq or Hyundai Creta?
  • Skoda Kushaq seems to have nailed the brief in terms of looks, build and design. When it comes to performance, there's little more you could ask for from the two tractable powertrains. It also gets a long list of features, including some premium items too. But there are small hiccups everywhere. The slightly plasticky bits in the cabin, the narrow cabin at the back, lack of more wow features. On the other hand, The Hyundai Creta is clearly an impressive compact SUV. It is spacious, comfortable, loaded with features, easy to drive, and offered powerful petrol and diesel engine options. Compared to the old car, it is a huge upgrade, both in terms of drive and feel. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city and brand accordingly for dealership details.
Q. Which is the best SUV amongst Kushaq, Seltos and Astor?
  • Choosing the right vehicle depends highly on one's preferences. All three Kushaq, Seltos and Astor are solid contenders in the segment. While Astor is a well-balanced, compact SUV with a good mix of design, quality, performance, and safety, the Seltos has impressed everyone so much that all we could complain about is a lack of under-thigh support and the rather stiff ride quality. Kushaq, on the other hand, is not overflowing with features it aims to win over buyers with its powerful and efficient petrol engines and smart packaging. The Astor’s 1.5-litre displacement is right up there with its rivals but pushes the least power at 110PS. While its torque figures are the same as the Seltos, it's the Kushaq that has the edge in this department, thanks to the turbocharged engine. If we talk about boot space Kia Seltos has definitely topped the list with its 433 litres boot space. But to sum it up, The Astor is managing to stand out in the segment with its looks, tech and upmarket cabin experience. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read more- Skoda Kushaq First Drive Review: 16 Things You Should Know. -MG Astor First Drive Review: Standing Out In Style.
Q. Which car is good, Kushaq or Taigun?
  • Both the cars are good in their forte. Skoda looks set to shake up the segment with this well equipped compact SUV. And while it's not overflowing with features it aims to win over buyers with its powerful and efficient petrol engines and smart packaging. Skoda Kushaq has a classy crowd pleasing SUV look whereas, the Volkswagen Taigun has a good amount of features, safety feature-wise too it feels sorted right from the base variant. The ride is comfortable enough and more importantly is fun to drive! Actually, scratch that, this SUV drives so well that it deserves to wear the GT badge more than the Polo ever did. `For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.Read more -Volkswagen Taigun First Drive Review: 10 Reasons Why It Lives Up To The Hype!.-Skoda Kushaq First Drive Review: 16 Things You Should Know!.
