Raw & Unfiltered Analysis: Top Mid-Size SUVs in India

Aapke hisab e naturally aspirated engine se Turbo superior hai bahut…Naturally aspirated engine ka vi apna khasiyat hai… Turbo lag aap vul rahe ho…

Hello Bro,

Few days ago I asked for a choice between 3xo ax5l and Brezza AT for a new driver who is looking for a big car. But now after going through your videos I feel buying Skoda kushaq sportsline AT or Taigun Higline 1.0 AT . ALSO like Taigun 1.5 TSI GT DSG.

Please advise which one shall I buy taking into account 35 kms daily office travel to and fro from Noida to Delhi. Have a family of 4 and baby, considering fuel efficiency and reliability.

Planning to keep it for 10 years atleast

Sir i tried to connect you through volklub but no response reveived only in beginning there was a confirmation email. Afterwards no communication. How to connect you?

Great Video Bhai. I am also planning for Skoda Kushaq. But little confused between 1L AT or 1.5 DSG. 60% city use and 40% highway. 1.0 ka power enough hai??. Though I have the budget of 1.5 but I guess, going with 1L will be a sensible choice because I take more joy in the feel of driving than in fast driving. Pls help me to make a decision sir?

Paaji, you are correct, however you forgot C3aircross/Basalt . C3 also has excellent 1.2turbo

AAJKAL paid comments aa rahi he ,bhailog in jhute comments se bachke rehna ,har gadi khud chalake dekho city and cement road me

VW ki duniya bhar mein vaat lag rahi hai kyun ki reliability issues hain. That's why VW is planning to shut down their factories in germany

I have a Honda Elevate and the sales doesn't justify its worthiness . However the issue with Elevate is 1 - missing with Engine options. they should provide Hybrid . 2- Fit and Finish is not like previous one . 3 Decade old Marketing strategy .

Kya 1liter Taigun automatic yearly running 200000 km kysa rahega

It’s all about the visibility factor

Bro Curve da design is very subjective, personally I didn’t like it.

Creta and Seltos remains my ever favourite followed by Elevate. But I’m inclined to Vitara for overall benefits.

I want to buy virtus GT sports black
Mai pichle 6 mahine se test drive le raha hun lekin akhir me virtus pe hi aa jata hun.

Some facts for clarification:

1. Hyundai Verna has been crash tested with 5 star safety (unstable bodyshell). Similar safety ratings should be expected for Creta. May not be as good as VW & Skoda (still better than Grand Vitara and Hyryder), but the urgency to improve safety to 5 star is very much appreciated.

2. Skoda and VW were banking on 1.5 TSI and Hyundai & Kia have developed a new engine (that too with slightly more power) all together along with Dual clutch to compete with Europeans. Also Creta N Line does comes with actual mechanical changes to suspension and steering and performance improvements unlike Skoda Monte Carlo and VW GT+ Sports editions which are just cosmetic upgrades.

3. VW & Skoda are just playing around with colours and variants then working on their shortcomings of better road presence, fit and finish, better features ( while Hyundai has introduced a brand new turbo petrol engine,, improved safety standards to 5 star in the same time). This is the relax and ignorant attitude with which Indian market is considered second grade and thus they are failing. OEMs need to commit fully to Indian market and with with growing middle class, everyone is looking for nit just global cars but global quality and seriousness

This talks about Hyundai's seriousness and time to market strategy for the Indian market which brings in loyalty and sales numbers.

If Skoda and VW are equally committed and treat their shortcomings with urgency, online salesmen would not have to justify the quality, performance and safety aspects and try to change the perception of the Indian customer (while still failing to do so coz of brand ignorance).

Europeans brand think of India as a cheaper destination for car development, but they forget they can make in india while maintaining the same quality standards. Hyundai is reaping the benefit of that vision and thought process.

One thing that we hear these days from Skoda & VW is"over engineered cars", which I feel is really absurd.

If ACT in 1.5 TSI is not available, the fuel efficiency would be a major hit and would not have been able to sell in price sensitive market like India. Same power and torque is provided by Hyundai 1.5 turbo, with no ACT, but is able to generate better or similar FE.

European suspensions are really well tuned than any other cars in market, but its party of their long history of R&D. Rather, they have to spend more to provide an inferior suspension. Citroen is able to provide the best suspensions in business even in its every level hatchback, coz that's in their DNA, and changing it would cost the brand more.

Panel gaping and welded body is part of the plant automation that VW and Skoda have developed over the years and it's also post of their DNA. Again, it without cost them more to research in building cars in an inferior way.

What Skoda & VW mean by "over engineered" cars is to not utilise their R&D in Indian market and produce badge engineered cars (like Suzuki & Toyota) with some Indian OEM (like Mahindra) which i think is going to hit Skoda and VW in the long run.

Indian middle class and upper night class is growing at an exponential pace and it's just time that people are auto literate and would push for having the following:

1. Global models
2. Safety
3. Reliability
4. Global Features with similar fit and finish.

Ford Endeavour coming back to India in 2 years of exit is a good example. Now is not the time for companies to degrade their quality and standards, but invest in india to make the best in India for the future .

Hyundai, Mahindra , Tata are the prime examples of making in India and making the best to their abilities and we can see their sales.

If Skoda VW have a Jv with Mahindra, their quality standards will dip, but Mahindra's will gaun an edge and it will phase out Skoda VW from Indian market very soon.

Mahindra has the history of decimating their JV partners ( Renault - Logan, Sangyong - XUv300, Alturus G4) after obtaining their tech and R&D capabilities (1.5L Diesel from Renault, 2.2L Petrol and Diesel from Sangyong, design and build from Sangyong).

If Skoda and VW want to survive in India (also as a brand acriss the world), they should do the following:

1. Make India their biggest and best manufacturing hub for the world.

2. Make similar quality products as in Europe in India, along with engine development.

3. Introduce global models in India and read the Indian customer well.

4. Improve upon the reliability perception of European cars and their costly ownership costs.

5. Economies of scale could be achieved if they are making in India and making for the world with no difference in quality standards and they can provude better models to compete with the competition, like Kushaq in not the right product for competing with Creta, but Karoq is a perfect match provided the price is similar, which can be easily done by achieving economies of scale by making in India.

No brand can survive by ignoring Indian market today (since China is moving towards to be more EV heavy with Chinese brands leading), even if you are making in India for the export market. You can only achieve the economies of scale only by catering to the huge Indian market + the export market.

Your content are very useful.🎉
It would be more appreciated if they are little shorter,crisp precise and objective.🎉
Kushaq & Taigun badly lack in Road presence and they are more like blown up hatchbacks, besides the fact that an automatic CVT cost anything above 18 lakhs.
There Turbo engines are fun to drive but initial power lag as happen in all Turbos is very disappointing.
Virtus looks awesome but only issue is manoeuvre in city as also the choice of sedans is going rapidly down because of bed Road conditions and ground clearance of SUVs

Wonderful information as always ❤

Respect ur opinion on chinese products....too much andh bhakts now a days😂

Waited for curvy for 3 months but the headroom is so bad in the back seat, had to immediately reject after sitting once. Thar ROXX was another product rejected by family due to high ingress in second row . Now left with creta or seltos !!! So much confusion!

bht achi video hai

Brother, which is better to choose diesel or petrol in seltos GT line?

Hi Sunderdeep. Shashriyakal ji. Can you please throw some light on Jeep brand. I have owned 2 jeep compass. Currently driving diesel manual. What are your thoughts on the brand, new updates and upcoming models. Do you think engine and features are relevant considering the competition.

Excellent video as per usual. A market like India where customers are price sensitive and uneducated in terms of vehicles, and where the government still thinks like 1950s (when people saw cars as luxuries only, and taxed them accordingly), the fact that some global brands are surviving just because of the 5% informed customers and fans - is nothing short of a miracle. India is a tough market for any global brand and product, unfortunately so. And that is why, Indians miss out on so many more good things in life. Because 95% of them either don’t know, or don’t care, or both!

Bhaiya Itna batao ki Volkswagen Mai Diesel Kabhi Aane Wala Hai Please Reply To My Answer

Sonnet, Venue, Breeza which is good, daily driving 30km only

Volkswagen taigun 1.5 my dream car....

Honda's marketing team doesn't do the job perfectly

good vibes after listening to u..!

Dear, pls help me to pick any one from elevate and creta

Why no Citroen?

Nice vdo bro👍

I think reason for elevate sales is no diesel engine, many go to kia and hyundai beacuse of diesel engine

Honda Elevate is a huge disappointment. Cabin noise is a big problem. Interior is dated. "2015" ki car lagti hai. Modern feel nahi. 18-20 lakh main bilkul VFM nahi hai.

Love these unscripted talk

East or West only taigun is the best ❤

Meri monthly running 1600-1800 hai max se Max 2000 ho sakti aane wale time me... Kya creta sahi option hai ya curve ya koi aur ..

I own a 2018 Diesel nexon AMT enjoyed every minute of driving it, never let me down, good seating, good ride comfort, my family are always happy with nexon, good mileage, i am happy to have bought a nexon. Difference between venue and nexon is very evident.😊

How is the AC performance in the slavia 1.0? Is the AC efficient?

Elevate, Taigun Kushaq lacks rear seat space.

सर! आप लोग टेक्नोक्रेट, कार उत्साही (car enthusiast) और सोशल मीडिया प्रभावक (social media influencer) हैं जिनके बहुत सारे प्रशंसक (followers) हैं! बस सोच रहा था, क्या गाड़ी चलाते समय एक गंभीर तकनीकी मामले पर प्रस्तुति (presentation) देना उचित है, जिसके लिए बहुत अधिक एकाग्रता की आवश्यकता होती है? आपकी और आपके सह-यात्रियों की सुरक्षा के अलावा, क्या यह राहगीरों (passersby) के लिए भी एक ख़तरनाक ख़तरा नहीं है! आम लोग और खास तौर पर युवा पीढ़ी आपका अनुसरण कर रहे हैं! कृपया उनके लिए एक अच्छी मिसाल कायम करें!! इस कड़वी सच्चाई को उजागर करने के लिए खेद है!

Creta diesel is best 👍

creta ki sales zyada hai kyunki company aisa kaam kar ke deti hai gaadi main ki aap after market bhi bohot saari cheezein as good as company fitted retrofit karwa sakte ho. isi liye sabse zyada e variant sell hota hai. aur sx and sx o main value itni zyada offer karte hain ki jisko zyada paisa lagana hai wo usko le leta hai (Thats what i think). Plus Honda is ignoring basic needs (Seat ventilation and Cruise Control in Models Without ADAS) and demands (Useless Panoramic Sunroof ) of Indian market shooting themselves in the foot.

“After driving my Ford EcoSport for a decade and clocking 1.5 lakh kms, I decided to replace it with the Skoda Kushaq Monte Carlo.1.0 Automatic Let me tell you, it was a fantastic decision! The Kushaq feels premium, handles like a dream, and offers an amazing driving experience. Absolutely loving it so far!”❤

I had a quick question in Bangalore traffic what mileage can I realistically expect in city conditions?” first 500 kms i its around 10.5 km average

I own volkswagen polo 1.2 comfertline 2013 model. same as yours. i have driven it for 1.25 lakh km till now. i want to upgrade my car for family comfort. my budget is around 10 lakhs may exceed a little 1-2 lakhs more. As a VW owner i am not able to trust any other brand rather than German cars. i am looking into new and old used German cars. My run is 2000 Km in a month. looking for diesel cars but not able to figure out the cars. I am confused between cars Kushaq, Taigun, kailaq, Creta, 3XO. please suggest me a better car. i was looking for a diesel car as my run is more but as VW & Skoda does not produce diesel cars looking to go with petrol car. My Priority is Safety, 1&2 row comfort, smooth and powerful engine like VW POLO. if possible milage. i can comprimise on additional features, but cannot compramise on safety, comfort and engine. please suggest me the best car.

Matured people always prefer NA cars. Turbo charged are just an illusion with very bad mileage. Indian roads are suitable for NA cars

I have a budget of 15 to 17 lac on-road and I'm in search of a good performance and safe vehicle. I've narrowed my choices down to the Honda City and the Slavia. However, the Slavia 1.5 exceeds my budget. I recently drove the 1.0 manual Kushaq and noticed some lag in performance. Please recommend the best option that fits within my budget.

One thing I see isn't being talked a lot about is the very bad experience of Honda dealerships. Not just after sales but even sales experience is unsatisfactory and that is very shocking considering their such low sales that is declining even lower.

paji thok ke bolo VW SOKDA pe, quality hai to bolna to hai hi...

Hello, sir i have both 1500 cc ivtec honda city 2016 and now i bought virtus GT, its performance is unmatchable, driving virtus is just fabulous.
Naturally aspirated and turbo ka koi comparison hi nahi hai.
Jisko bohot sedately drive karna hai uske liye naturally aspirated engine kam ka hai .
And one more important thing Honda city and virtus GT fuel economy is same.
