- 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
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.
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 👎
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...
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.
@@Coachedbysujata yes
Kushaq looks subtle styling, dignified and sharp. It keeps looking good for a long time.
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
Taiguns design looks timeless...
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 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.
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.
💪
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
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+
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!
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?
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 ❤
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.
Hope Skoda Kushaq fixes the EPC issues and other quality issues inside soon..
Taigun 1.5gt automatic anyday as I'm a polo gt dsg user ❤️❤️❤️
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
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
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.
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 .
Soon evo india will reach 1 million+ subscribers.all the best👍🏼
Taigun GT + in MT is what I am looking at. Current line up Kushaq 1.5 style makes sense
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.
I will buy taigun because I like it . It has a good design even in both front and back.
I have been using the VW vento for past years and I know the guys of the showroom, their service and all and I have already test driven the VW taigun and I love it.
Personally both the vehicles are good and it depend on the guy who want to buy the car, their experience between the car company and their driving experience etc.
You aren't a true Vento owner if you even remotely liked the drive in taigun lol
I was amazed by clouds in background.
watched more than the cars 😂
😂
I think both the cars are half baked and not up to the standard.
yeah.. better wait for Karoq
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!
I prefer the Taigun's design😇😇
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
VW Taigun ❤Topline AT & GT AT 🔥💕👑
When is Kushak Monte Carlo planned? Loved the SUV during test drive. Would like to have things we have seen in Kamiq Monte Carlo
Starting to become a fan EVO India 🙌 Love the review and everything 🙌❤️
Exteriors of the Kushaq clubbed with the interiors of the Taigun. 😋
😂
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 👍👍👍
Thank you so much guys. I really loved the video.
What about the EPC issues.Any explanation on those would be nice
I am inclined more towards skoda ..
Thought it’s less on features from taigun
But skoda s design I just love ..
You mention the difference in the guage of steel in both models - can you please elaborate ?
This two cars comes with 6 speed manual and AT transmission from base variant
Would you suggest to go for dsg over torque converter for long term, Sirish .?
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
why can't we open sunroof and window through keys even my 2011 Fabia has this feature
which has better suspension
?
Taigun’s gt is close to highline 1 L in terms of specs, so one has to play close to 2.5L more for the 1.5L engine. Really bummed at this premium. They should have included sunroof at that price at least. I was really looking out for the 1.5L and may still end up buying it but there’s no denying that it is low on value.
Why would you want a sunroof in Indian hot & humid conditions ? would you ever use it in practical?
True, 13.45 could have been right price for that with that roofline & features it has on board.
@@kildemdemkil7227 sure I won’t use it on a daily basis but we frequently go on trips around our city ~100km in general and having a sunroof in that clean cool conditions would be a treat. Having used a non sunroof sedan for close to 15 years now, im willing to spend 20lakhs of my hard earned money for a novel upmarket experience and no one can deny that sunroof cars have better cabin ambience.
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
same ditto car, go with the design + features which you like and ull be happy..
will there be any mechanical changes to monte carlo version
They better bring a panoramic sunroof 😄
thnkz alot made awhole lot sense
why GT range breaks the bank less slowly for the Money. Hands down t
it's neck and neck but the khusaq will outsell more whereas VW with the GT variant are for the Petrol Heads who like to wheelspin and redline😈
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
Kushaq is Stylish car in current SUV in this price range .
@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.
Which is better taigun vs kushaq vs astor
Exactly. This is what i was looking for🎉🎉
So basically Kushaq has more features that actually matter at almost the same cost.
no taigun has more features , i this video they have showed mid spec taigun as compared to top of kushaq
And this is manuel taigon gt +is amazing
Taigun 1.5 auto or Jeep Compass. Could you please let me know
You should take same colours to compare. Else it creats different picture. In looks deficiency kushaq will standout
Those ventilated seats alone can decide my pick🙃
😂
Both are good looking cars hard to pickup one from the other.
Whatever..these two doesnt has any VW quality in interiors..everywhere cheap plastics and exposed panel gaps switches and buttons like alto 800 ugh..even the seat stitching is so ugly..didnt expected this ugly quality from a VW company..i would prefer kia seltos or MG astor in this segment more than this overhyped cars..as always the reliability factor sucks
Anyway great comparison evo india!❤️
Please make video comparison of 1.5 dsg of both kushaq and taigun.
Can be done
feel of gear lever isn't great too in comparison to currently available from Rapid
Both made for export out of india... export car mostly safe and standard engine for long term
Now taigun gets tpms and ideal start stop features as standard across all the variants. So taigun would be a better pick.
Even kushaq gets it now
Yes bro now it’s pretty hard to choose one among these.😅
If Skoda Kushaq wants to increase its market share.. it should conduct and publish NCAP rating.. and am sure it should be better than Creta and Kia and should market this USP better
Probably the basis for the Škoda Kushaq is the Kamiq, a similar model from Škoda here in Europe, which received 5 stars in EURO NCAP in 2019, so I believe that it would get the same number anywhere. By the way, Octavia, Enyaq, Scala and other Škoda models got always 5 stars). Every model is tested here, but I really don't know how it is in other markets ...
Kushaq looks 🔥
My goodness. Taigun looks are way better than kushaq. But I will be buying kushaq for some different reasons.
Plz make a Throwback classic video on Trax as Gurkha is launch from first gen basic look to latest toofan crusier trax
Will do
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 - th-cam.com/video/ktBc3OmWEGI/w-d-xo.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
Please bring Taigun GT Plus, not the lower variant
1. Have VW & Skoda used galvanized steel as with their other cars?
2. The steel used is 'made in India' not German made. Expected to be built as proper as POLO.
Was evaluating TAIGUN, but above factors means NO.
How about mileage both will offers less than 9 kmpl.
Why have all these manufacturers decided to not even offer their highly accomplished AWD systems even as options on their soft roaders?
And all these soft roaders are pretty expensive too, these days. Prices have truly gone mad. And at these prices rear Drum Brakes? Man! Even my old CKD Assembled in India, Skoda Yeti Elegance 4x4 in 2011 had all the comforts like leather seats and all, and also had rear disc brakes and 6 Airbags and ESP and ABS and Hill Hold and Electronic Diff Lock and TCS and every possible safety aid, apart from the 16 inch alloys and all this came at the princely sum of 19.5 lacs on road! So it clearly looks that all manufacturers are cutting down on equipment as the years pass and increasing the prices nicely at the same time. This, to me, reeks of exploitation…
I was user polo and vento,I will go for Volkswagen taigun
Already booked kushaq montecarlo red colour... but now I am confused😶
Good try Volkswagen. The Skoda is much prettier and I think I'd go for it. The 17' Alloys help as well as the smarter front and side profiles.
A buyer can chrome-dechrome their vehicle as per their requirements. The same can be said about the tyres, wheels and seat covers.
The Taigun seems a bit lull when we compare it to the Kushaq.
Great seats. Poor roofliner. Kushaq.
Overall Kushaq.
Informative video 👍🏼
Variant explanation was needed
✌️
What about epc issues in Taigun
i like skoda design .. .more mature look
Woow I was waiting for this one …
🤙
@@evoIndia Astor or Kushaq?
VW is always more premium & upmarket than Skoda. But excess use of chrome is not so appealing as after some time it will catch rust.
Noise insulation materials are missing in taigun ..... But still that's silent...... I m still asking these Evo guys....they might have driven both the cars....... I want a silent car........
Woter capacity kit ni hai?
Not only GT , Topline Taigun 1 liter will have 17 inches
1L engine came in Hyundai eon too..difficult to digest the fact..i wonder how it pulls in a incline
This is a turbo petrols. No comparison to hyundai na 1l unit
I saw the the Red Kushaq in person when I was out a few days back . It doesn't look so imposing as a Midsize crossover, seems more like a Puffed up hatchback but that's just my opinion, no offence though. I am liking the Taigun more you know, it looks timeless like a VW is 🔥❤
It can also look great in a sedan/Hatchback platform 😀 👍.
Anyway all this hoo-ha VW Skoda group made about the 2.0 campaign, but have they really cut down on their service costs and spares cost? I want you to cover that . That's what really matters in the end. Right?
Make a ownership reviews of the Kushaq and Taigun in your fleet &compare it with older VW Skoda cars to check whether the maintenance cost has reduced or not
Or maybe compare it with Creta ,Seltos,Harrier etc as they are it's rivals. We want to see that 🙌.
That's a cool idea!
Well explained 🙏🙏🙏
Skoda has rocked it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mg Astor base model show room ma che vioed please
Thanks 🙏
😊 Kushaq ❤️👍
Stupendo, Fantabously, Fantastical review, my vote goes to Skoda Kushaq Style variant with 1.5 MT.
In the world of LED headlights I wish VW should have given LED headlights to GT variant
Taigun and Kushaq 1.0 trims have 6 gears mannual/AT.
@11:20 Rear right side wheel is not on ground.
Id pick the kushaq too
these aint eal suvs they dont got AWD, they just hatchbacks with inceased GC. instead, gofo a hatch, sedan o a eal suv
Compare both 1.5
