Which Skoda Kushaq Variants Get the Biggest Hike?
Among the 1.0-litre TSI manual variants, the Signature trim has received a ₹10,000 increase, while the Sportline and Prestige trims have become ₹15,000 more expensive.
In the 1.0-litre automatic range, the Signature variant has received a ₹10,000 hike. The Classic Plus and Sportline automatic variants have become costlier by ₹15,000, while the Prestige and Monte Carlo automatic versions have seen increases of ₹20,000 each.
The higher-powered 1.5-litre TSI DSG Prestige and Monte Carlo variants have also received a ₹20,000 price increase. Following the revision, the top-spec Monte Carlo 1.5 TSI DSG is priced at ₹19.19 lakh, making it the most expensive variant in the current Kushaq range.
However, the entry-level Classic Plus 1.0 TSI manual continues to be priced at ₹10.69 lakh, keeping the starting price of the SUV unchanged.
New 1.5-Litre Sportline DSG Variant Added
Alongside the revised prices, the Kushaq range now includes a Sportline variant powered by the 1.5-litre TSI petrol engine and paired with a DSG automatic gearbox. Priced at ₹16.99 lakh ex-showroom, it becomes the most affordable option for customers seeking this engine and transmission combination.
The addition gives buyers another choice between the standard 1.0-litre petrol variants and the more expensive 1.5-litre versions offered in the Prestige and Monte Carlo trims.
The Kushaq continues to offer 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre TSI turbo-petrol engines, with manual and automatic transmission options depending on the variant.
No Mechanical or Feature Changes Announced
The latest revision is limited to pricing, with no accompanying mechanical or feature upgrades announced as part of the increase. The SUV continues with its existing engine options, transmission choices and equipment lineup.
The Kushaq competes in India’s mid-size SUV segment against models such as the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Kia Seltos. Its turbo-petrol engines and range of manual and automatic variants are aimed at customers looking for a compact SUV with multiple powertrain options.
Why Have Skoda Prices Increased?
The Kushaq price revision follows Skoda Auto India’s broader price increase across its passenger vehicle range from October 1, 2026. The company had announced a hike of up to 1.2%, capped at ₹20,000 depending on the model and variant, citing rising input and operational costs.
The adjustment affects several vehicles in the company’s Indian portfolio, although the amount varies across models and trims.
For prospective Kushaq buyers, the impact will depend on the variant selected. Customers considering the base manual version will see no change in its listed ex-showroom price, while those opting for higher-spec automatic or 1.5-litre variants will need to account for the revised rates.
Before booking, buyers should confirm the latest variant-wise price and applicable offers with an authorised Skoda dealership, as discounts and on-road costs may differ by location.
