Can a compact SUV share the same driver-focused DNA as one of Škoda's most iconic performance cars? This is Škoda's GOAT-SOAT (Greatest On A Track – Škoda On A Track) experience! As part of this experience, we had the Škoda Kushaq and the Octavia RS at a racetrack and put them through a series of real-world tests. From cornering precision and body control to emergency braking and a timed hot lap, this isn't about outright speed; it's about discovering whether the Kushaq has inherited the confidence, composure and driving dynamics that define a Škoda. Rather than reviewing features or quoting specifications, we let the cars do the talking on track. The result is a closer look at how Škoda's performance engineering trickles down from the Octavia RS to its everyday compact SUV and why those traits matter just as much on public roads as they do on a racetrack. Because you don't truly understand a Škoda by reading the brochure, you understand it by driving one.
