Advice on petrol for Kushaq

Hi, I'm expecting delivery of my new Kushaq in the next couple of days. I have seen that as per the owner's manual, it is advised to fill at least 95 octane petrol for the car, although it can tolerate as low as 91-92 octane as well. Earlier this meant that Kushaq owners had to fill XP95 petrol since that met the required octane level.

With the introduction of E20 petrol across the board, octane of regular fuel from the pump is also higher than 95 (source). Does that mean that it is now safe to fill regular fuel or is it still mandatory/recommended to fill XP95 petrol? Based on my limited understanding, XP95 also contains additives which might be useful for cleaning internal lines/fuel injectors in the TSI engine.

Curious to know what other owners are doing? Do you fill the regular petrol from the pump or do you exclusively only fill XP95? Would be grateful for all thoughts and inputs on this. Thank you.

I have a 2021 Kushaq style DSG, need some recommendations on some accessories

I’m from Tamilnadu, this is relevant for the first accessory.

  1. what is the allowed limit for sunfilm? I see even 10% is illegal, is that true?
  2. my car has a 11’’ inch infotainment system, been thinking about upgrading sound quality in the car and definitely not jacking a 12’’ inch woofer cause that ruins the music, I need quality and balanced music with clear centre. My car currently has OEM DSP with 4 door speakers, 2 tweeters and 1 wheel mounted sub. What is the reasonable upgrade without clipping the wire? I can see various options but I need to hear from some who has done it personally and how the experience changed post installation?
  3. does door damping really help?
  4. lastly, recommend a nice car fragrance that feel elite.

Thanks in advance!

Bangalore - New kushaq randomly paint removal spots

There are small places where paint is getting removed like dot-sized.

Not sure someone is actually scratching our car because we haven't. Very weird if someone is doing it purposefully.

New car 3 months old and it’s so sad to see this.

Old Kushaq

Am I the only few of all who are still inclined towards the older Kushaq design. It had the classic touch of Skoda design language . The front grill with chrome didn't feel over designed but quite aggressive and stood out , the newer one took out the chrome , I am still getting used to it . To match the competition, connected tail gates also look a little plasticy , Skoda embedded earlier looked classier.

Even the base model used to look good overall but the new one feels very out of shape with the alloys .

Rationalising the new one over old Kushaq, so that I don't end up buying the 2025😷

Got scratch on my new Kushaq

Scooter guy tried to overtake from the left side in a narrow road lost control and did this to my new 3 month old car , couldnt get hold of him in busy road near the Trinity circle junction Bangalore.

How do I get this fixed, does it make sense to claim insurance or get it done outside if it costs like just a couple of thousands.

Anyone facing EPC error on the new Kushaq facelift?

Has anyone here with the new facelift Skoda Kushaq (not the pre-facelift/old model) experienced an EPC warning/error?

Also, for those who faced it:

Are you using XP95 petrol regularly?

Did the EPC error occur even when using XP95?

Has anyone identified the actual cause or a permanent fix?

Did the service centre find anything specific?

Just trying to understand if this is still an issue with the new facelift Kushaq or if it has been resolved.
