Skoda Kushaq Onyx Edition: Engine and gearbox
While the regular Kushaq variants come with a variety of engines and transmission options, the Onyx Edition only comes with one. It is powered by a 1.0-litre TSI turbo petrol engine with 114 bhp and 178 Nm of peak torque. The engine is only available with a 6-speed manual transmission. The Skoda Kushaq is one of the safest made-in-India vehicles, earning a 5-star safety rating in the Global NCAP crash test.
Here’s what the company said:
Petr Solc, Brand Director, Skoda Auto India, said, “The KUSHAQ was the first launched under the INDIA 2.0 project, and is instrumental in our growth ambitions in India. Keeping our product range fresh and contemporary, in line with evolving customer trends and preferences, plays a pivotal role in our path toward Accelerated Growth for 2023 and onwards.”
He further added, “The new KUSHAQ ONYX Edition is a step in that direction. We have introduced some features that were previously only available in the highest variant of India’s safest car, providing even higher value and a wider choice to our customers and fans.”
