Skoda Extended Warranty: Price, Coverage & Verdict
Verdict: Yes — especially with a DSG
Cover to 6 years costs ~1.5% of ex-showroom including GST on a Kushaq — remarkably cheap insurance for a brand whose DSG and TSI repair bills are the stuff of forum legend. This is the highest repair-cost-per-rupee-of-premium cover in the market.

| Car (variant) | Cover | Price incl. GST | ≈ % of ex-showroom |

Why this verdict
- The 1.5 TSI DSG variants are the textbook case: one mechatronics failure out of warranty exceeds the 6-yr EW price several times over.
- At ₹20,499 for three extra years on a Kushaq, the EW costs less than a major paid service — there is no rational reason to skip it on a 2025 car.
- 2026 buyers already get 4 years standard under Super Care — wait for the new EW list before paying for more.
- Transferable to the second owner and buyable on EMI.
