Skoda Kushaq vs Tata Sierra: which should you buy?
The Skoda Kushaq starts at ₹10.69L against the Tata Sierra's ₹11.49L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹0.80L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹18.99L, where the Kushaq tops out. Past that only the Sierra has anything left to sell you, up to ₹21.29L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Kushaq comes in petrol, the Sierra in petrol and diesel.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹18.99L to both showrooms and you come out with the Kushaq Monte Carlo at ₹18.99L or the Sierra Accomplished at ₹18.99L.
Our take
Same money either way, so take the Sierra Accomplished: level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor. The useful extras on top: hill descent control and touchscreen (12.3" against 10.1"). The rest of the additions are minor trim.
- The Sierra swallows the most luggage at 622 litres
- The Kushaq Monte Carlo is the strongest of the two at 150 PS
- Also on the Sierra Accomplished: all-wheel disc brakes, JBL system with Dolby Atmos, head-up display and dual-zone climate control, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Sierra Accomplished, you give up connected car tech and wired CarPlay / Android Auto, which the Kushaq Monte Carlo keeps
- Choose the Skoda Kushaq Monte Carlo if
- Your budget is firm and the basics are enough for you
- Choose the Tata Sierra Accomplished if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
