  • All these SUVs are offered only with petrol engines. While the Elevate has a single engine option, all other three are offered with two engine options. The Elevate also has the least claimed fuel economy for naturally-aspirated powertrains.

Skoda Kushaq 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine

  • The VW-Skoda twins come only with turbocharged petrol engines, with the larger 1.5-litre units distinguished by both performance and efficiency.

  • The Honda Elevate and Astor are the only ones here to come with a naturally aspirated petrol engine. While both get a similar capacity engine, the Honda makes more power and torque. 

  • Coming to automatics, while the Elevate and Astor (1.5-litre) come with a CVT gearbox, the VW-Skoda twins get options of a torque converter and a dual-clutch unit. With the 1.4-litre turbo, the MG Astor gets a 6-speed torque converter as its sole transmission option.
