The price hike for the Skoda Kushaq ranges from Rs 19,000 to Rs 29,000, depending on the variant. However, the Czech automaker exempted the mid-spec Ambition 1.0-litre TSI manual and automatic variants from the price revision.

Both of these engines come mated to a 6-speed manual transmission as standard. The 1.0-litre motor is also available with a 6-speed torque converter automatic, whereas the 1.5-litre mill has a 7-speed DSG option, offered with the top-spec Style variant.
