Design

In conclusion, all three SUVs offer you a package that you can’t fault with. Choosing the Creta offers a well-established product in the compact SUV segment, featuring a refreshed look, updated interior, and safety upgrades. You also get a wide range of options with engine and transmission choices.

Skoda Kushaq

On the other hand, opting for either the Taigun or Kushaq does not leave you behind, with their only shortcoming being the absence of a diesel engine option and the nicer features. The choice between a VW or Skoda car, however, will depend solely on your preferences in terms of design and your brand preference.

In the end, whichever option you choose, you can't go wrong with any of them.
