Skoda Kushaq: which powertrain?

NO MANUFACTURER GRADE WALK EXISTS FOR THIS CAR, so frequentlyComparedPairs is deliberately empty - Skoda prints a key-features summary, not an 'X over Y' chain, the same as the Slavia. VARIANT SET: Skoda's own model page lists 12 variants. Classic+ has no DSG, Signature and Classic+ no 1.5, and Monte Carlo no manual, on both. Skoda's brochure summary grids equipment by trim, not by engine, so the variant carries the Sportline 1.0 automatic's equipment, plus the four-wheel disc brakes Skoda states for every 1.5 TSI. WHEELS from Skoda's brochure (page 23): Classic+ 16-inch Grus, Signature 16-inch Vega Silver, Sportline 17-inch Vega Black, Prestige 17-inch Radim, Monte Carlo 17-inch. Skoda's page says every variant now has alloy wheels as standard. MONTE CARLO IS A STYLING LINE: it credits identically to Prestige on the same gearbox, so the step up to it reports as adding no equipment we track - the Slavia's Monte Carlo exactly. CREDITED FROM SKODA'S OWN WORDS: connected LED tail lamps with illuminated Skoda lettering on Signature and above (the brochure marks the illuminated-lettering row '-' on Classic+, so Classic+ is not credited); four-wheel disc brakes on the three 1.5 TSI variants ('Disc brakes on all wheels in the 1.5 TSI'); wireless Android Auto on the 25.6 cm screen fitted from Signature up, with the 17.7 cm unit on Classic+ (brochure page 23). UNDER-CREDITED where the sources disagree across powertrains, the Slavia's Classic+ call applied consistently: hill assist, the leather-wrapped wheel, cruise control and LED fog lamps are credited on neither Classic+; stability control is not credited on them either, because Skoda's brochure (skoda-newkushaq.pdf) and model page say only '25+ active and passive safety features' and never name ESC per trim (29 Oct 2026); connected car tech is credited nowhere; and the per-tyre pressure entry is credited nowhere. DIGITAL CLUSTER: Skoda's page says the Kushaq has a 26.03 cm digital cockpit but not which trims carry it, and the brochure only marks Classic+ '-'. Every trim with a cockpit is credited at the 7-inch rung, the nearest we can prove; the Slavia's 26.03 cm unit is on its Prestige and Monte Carlo, and if the Kushaq follows, those two are under-credited by the step to the 10.25-inch rung. A 6-way powered driver's seat adjusts height, so height adjustment is credited wherever that seat is fitted. The 6-way seat itself is credited at the 4-way rung and the co-driver's at the powered-co-driver entry - the Kylaq's and Slavia's calls. The 25.6 cm (10.08-inch) screen sits at the 9-inch rung; Skoda's 'Leather' is credited as leatherette. NOT CREDITED, each because no source says it or the source is narrower than the registry entry: electrically adjustable mirrors (no source states them); the seven-speaker system on Prestige and Monte Carlo, which names no brand, amplifier or subwoofer; and the rear-seat massager, which the registry has no entry for. THE TWO AUTOMATICS ARE DIFFERENT TYPES and are stored as such - the 1.0's 8-speed torque converter as 'automatic' and the 1.5's 7-speed DSG as 'dct' - so no comparison is ever published across two engines. NO CERTIFIED EFFICIENCY IS STORED for any powertrain: Skoda's brochure and page carry no figure, and efficiency is certified per model, so the Slavia's cannot be lent to it. RE-READ 29 OCT 2026 against Skoda's own configurator wording, the same calls as the Volkswagen Taigun: the reversing camera is 'Rear View Camera with static guidelines', so the camera entry (moving guidelines) is not credited; the ambient lighting is 'Interior ambient lighting - Dashboard (Dual color)', dashboard only, so it is not credited; the mirrors are 'Electrically foldable external mirrors', not said to fold on locking, so auto-folding mirrors are not credited.
