Classic Plus Price and Specs, Skoda Kushaq

The Classic Plus is the entry point into the Skoda Kushaq range, and this manual version carries the lowest price of the lot. Under the bonnet sits the 1.0 litre TSI petrol making 115 PS and 178 Nm, driving the front wheels through a manual gearbox. It seats five and returns a claimed 19.66 kmpl, so running costs stay sensible.

Even at this price you get six airbags, a single-pane electric sunroof, 16 inch Grus alloy wheels and a 7 inch touchscreen. The equipment is honest rather than flashy. What you miss here is cruise control, which the automatic Classic Plus adds, plus the rear camera and larger 10.1 inch screen that arrive on the Signature.

This trim suits a buyer who wants the Kushaq badge, a sunroof and the safety of six airbags on a tight budget. If you spend most of your time driving yourself and enjoy shifting your own gears, it makes sense. Step up to the Signature if you want the rear camera and the bigger screen.
