Home / New Car Prices / Skoda / Kushaq
The Skoda Kushaq sold in Nepal positions itself as a premium, urban-friendly midsize SUV that still feels ready for rougher highways and hill roads. With a wide spread of petrol-only TSI variants from the 1.0 TSI Classic MT at Rs 54,90,000 up to the fully loaded 1.5 TSI Monte Carlo AT DSG at Rs 92,90,000, it targets buyers who want European build, strong safety credentials and modern tech in a package sized for Nepal’s cities and intercity routes. The Nepal-spec Kushaq is based on Skoda’s India-focused platform and offers two turbo-petrol engines, multiple manual and automatic options, and feature-rich top variants that bring equipment like a sunroof, digital instruments and advanced safety aids, making it a natural rival to models such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and VW Taigun in our market.
Editorial overview compiled from official specs and Nepali/Indian auto sources · as of 04 Aug 2026.
The Kushaq’s design follows Skoda’s global SUV language but has been tailored to look compact and agile for crowded South Asian cities, with a bold grille, split LED headlamps on higher variants, and sharp character lines that give it a more European feel than many rivals. The top 1.5 TSI Monte Carlo AT DSG sold in Nepal adds sportier cosmetic upgrades like blacked-out exterior elements and special badging, helping it stand out in showrooms and on the road as the halo variant. Its relatively tight footprint compared to some larger SUVs makes it easier to thread through Kathmandu’s narrower lanes and park in tight spaces, while still offering the elevated stance, cladding and wheel designs that buyers expect from a modern midsize SUV. Colour choices and trim detailing, especially on Monte Carlo and Signature variants, are clearly aimed at younger, style-conscious buyers who want something more distinctive than the mainstream Korean competition.
In Nepal, the Kushaq range is powered by Skoda’s TSI turbo-petrol engines already familiar from the Indian-market model, including the 1.0 TSI three-cylinder and the more powerful 1.5 TSI four-cylinder used in the top 1.5 TSI Monte Carlo AT DSG. The 1.0 TSI engine in this generation produces around 115 PS and 178 Nm in regional spec, paired with either a 6-speed manual or torque-converter automatic, which should be adequate for daily city use and highway cruising while keeping fuel consumption in check for a petrol SUV. The 1.5 TSI, available in Ambition, Signature and Monte Carlo trims, is designed to offer stronger performance and more relaxed overtaking on highways; in the top variant it is mated to a dual-clutch DSG automatic, which Skoda highlights as providing quick, smooth shifts and a more engaging feel than a conventional automatic. All Nepal variants are front-wheel drive, which suits typical urban and highway use here, and Skoda’s tuning focus on stability and safety equipment such as ESC reflects a positioning towards buyers who value secure handling over outright off-road ability.
