Skoda has introduced a new variant of the Kushaq called the Onyx, which now comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission. This automatic variant is priced at Rs 13.49 lakh (ex-showroom, India) and is the most affordable automatic option in the Kushaq lineup. It is powered by the 1.0-litre TSI engine, delivering a smooth and efficient driving experience.
The Skoda Kushaq Onyx with the automatic transmission also comes with additional features such as hill hold assist and paddle shifters for added convenience and control. Safety is a top priority with this model, as it is equipped with 6 airbags as standard, providing peace of mind for both driver and passengers.
In terms of design and aesthetics, the Kushaq Onyx sports unique ‘Onyx’ badging on the B-pillars, scuff plates, and floor mats. It also features 16-inch steel wheels with wheel covers, LED headlamps with DRLs, black fabric seats, a 7-inch infotainment unit with a 6-speaker sound system, wired Android Auto and Apple Carplay, and automatic climate control.
When it comes to safety, the Skoda Kushaq Onyx excels with features like ABS, ESC, EBD, TCS, and of course, the 6-airbag system. Notably, it received a 5-star safety rating for both adult and child occupants in the 2022 GNCAP crash tests, making it a reliable choice for families.
The Skoda Kushaq Onyx enters a competitive segment in the market, facing off against rival midsize SUVs like the Maruti Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder, Hyundai Creta, Honda Elevate, and Kia Seltos. With its attractive price point, advanced features, and top-notch safety ratings, the Kushaq Onyx aims to stand out in this crowded segment.
