Skoda Kushaq service and maintenance costs have been explained in a video on YouTube. Kushaq is the mid-size SUV from Skoda rivalling the Creta and Seltos in the mid-size SUV segment. Launched recently, Kushaq has a ton of curiosity revolving around how expensive it might be to own one. In the past, Skoda products have had a bad name for being too hard on your pocket to own. However, with heavy levels of localization, Skoda is all set to change that. This, along with an increased dealership and service centre network aims to achieve a better ownership experience for the customers. Let us take a look at the tentative service costs for around 8 years of ownership.
