The Skoda Kushaq and Volkswagen Taigun share a common assembly line and sit on the heavily-localised MQB-A0 IN platform. The same platform also underpins the Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus sedans, which are yet to be crash tested. It is worth noting that the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos, which are arch rivals to the Kushaq and Taigun, scored 3 stars in Global NCAP crash tests along with an unstable bodyshell.
