Skoda Kushaq Mileage

Skoda Kushaq mileage varies, depending on the variant. The petrol-manual variant has a mileage of 19.76 km/l. The petrol-automatic model has a mileage of 18.86 km/l. Note that the mileage figures are as per ARAI.

Factors Affecting Skoda Kushaq Mileage

• Driving Style: Adopting a calmer driving style with less aggressive acceleration or braking, avoiding excessive idling and shifting to higher gears earlier leads to better fuel efficiency. On the other hand, rash driving involving sudden stops, rapid acceleration or delay in shifting gears can significantly reduce mileage.

• Traffic Conditions: Heavy traffic and stop-start conditions force the engine to keep stopping and restarting, decreasing mileage. On open, uncongested roads and highways where the vehicle can maintain steady, optimal speeds, the mileage is enhanced considerably.

• Vehicle Maintenance: By ensuring timely scheduled maintenance like tune-ups, oil and air filter changes, and maintaining proper tyre pressure and wheel alignment components, the engine works more efficiently, giving better fuel economy. Ignoring such servicing needs has an adverse impact.

• Vehicle Weight: Loading the Kushaq with additional weight puts a greater load on the engine to move, which will require more fuel usage, lowering the expected mileage. Reducing any unnecessary cargo or travelling light with fewer passengers helps optimise mileage.

• Terrain and Road Conditions: Mileage tends to decrease in hilly areas or uneven roads with rough surfaces where more friction leads to more fuel usage. Smooth highways and flyovers aid mileage.

Skoda Kushaq Mileage for Different Powertrains

The Kushaq has two BS6 petrol engine options - a 1-litre 3-cylinder unit making 112BHP power and 178Nm torque for quick driving and a more powerful 1.5-litre 4-cylinder motor generating 147BHP power and 250Nm torque for stronger performance.

How Skoda Kushaq Mileage Affects Running Cost

Get a clear picture of the Kushaq's operating costs before buying. This will help you realistically budget for maintenance, fuel, insurance, taxes, etc., over the SUV's lifetime.

The basic formula for calculating car running costs is:

Let's calculate the running costs for the petrol variants:

Petrol Variant Running Cost Calculation

• Distance driven (daily): 50 kilometres

• Petrol price: ₹104/litre

• Average mileage: 19 km/l

Daily cost = 50 km ÷ 19 km/l × ₹104/l = ₹273

• Monthly cost (30 days) = ₹273 × 30 = ₹8,190

• Annual cost = ₹8,190× 12 = ₹98,280

Note: The calculations are based on average fuel prices in major cities. Actual costs may differ depending on local fuel prices, driving conditions, and maintenance.
