Skoda Cars Get Discounts in April 2026: Kylaq, Kushaq, Kodiaq and More

Skoda is offering appealing discounts across its model range, including the Kylaq, Kushaq, and Kodiaq, for April 2026. Here's all you need to know about the exact model-wise offers. 

<p>Skoda has revealed key specifications of the Peaq electric SUV,&nbsp;which is a production version of the Vision 7S concept (debuted at the Auto Expo in 2025).&nbsp;The all-electric <a href="https://www.autox.com/suv-cars-in-india/">SUV </a>will be underpinned by the MEB (Modular Electrification Toolkit)&nbsp;platform and offered in both 5- and 7-seater configurations. Notably, the 5-seat version&nbsp;will feature a segment-leading boot space of up to 1,010 litres. The Peaq is slated&nbsp;to make its global debut in mid-2026. For now, there is no official confirmation,&nbsp;but Skoda’s EV may arrive here sometime after the international launch.&nbsp;Let’s take a closer look at key details of the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/skoda/">Skoda </a>Peaq SUV. </p><h2><strong>Skoda Peaq: Powertrain</strong></h2><p>The production version of the Vision 7S-based Skoda Peaq will be offered in three powertrain configurations – 60, 90, and 90x. They will feature lithium-ion (NMC) battery packs, spanning across different capacities.&nbsp;For instance, the entry-level Peaq 60 comes equipped with a 63kWh battery, while the 90 and 90x variants&nbsp;use a larger 91 kWh unit. In terms of power, the base version produces 201bhp and has a range of over 460 kilometres.&nbsp;The higher-spec 90 and 90x variants make up to 282bhp and 295bhp respectively, with a range of more than 600 kilometres.</p><p>While the 60 and 90 versions are rear-wheel drive, the range-topping 90x features a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup. Fast DC charging capability&nbsp;enables a 10–80 percent top-up in under 27 minutes for&nbsp;the 60 variant and under 28 minutes for the 90 and 90x models. Notably, the&nbsp;all-wheel-drive 90x can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in just 6.7 seconds.</p><h2><strong>Skoda Peaq: Dimensions</strong></h2><p>The Peaq measures 4,874mm in length, which makes it 116mm  longer than the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/skoda/kodiaq/">Skoda Kodiaq</a>. The height is marginally increased by 5mm to 1,664mm. Meanwhile,&nbsp; the wheelbase has stretched by 174 mm to 2,965mm. The Peaq, in its 5-seater configuration,&nbsp;offers a boot capacity of up to 1,010 litres, which is around 100 litres more than the Kodiaq. In its seven-seat setup, the SUV offers a usable boot space of up to 299 litres.&nbsp;This is enhanced with a 37-litre front storage compartment, or ‘frunk’, which is neatly positioned under the bonnet.</p><h2><strong>Skoda Peaq: Features</strong></h2><p>The Peaq comes with a panoramic sunroof with Dynamic Shade Control, the largest one ever&nbsp;offered on a Skoda car. It also features a 10-inch digital driver display,&nbsp;a 13.6-inch vertical touchscreen with haptic controls, a new Android-based infotainment system&nbsp;with built-in apps like Spotify, YouTube, and Google Maps, as well as extensive&nbsp;personalisation options.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/2026-skoda-kushaq-first-drive-review-worth-a-second-look-123163/">2026 Skoda Kushaq First Drive Review: Worth a Second Look?</a></p><p>Other key details include an optional augmented-reality head-up display, a digital mobile key, and V2L and V2H capabilities. Skoda’s ‘Simply Clever’&nbsp;features also make their way to the e-SUV. These include washer-integrated wipers, a dual&nbsp;wireless charging phonebox, multiple USB ports (including in the third row), a foldable table, and&nbsp;smart storage solutions, including a QR code-assisted boot guide. The Skoda Peaq SUV also comes with an optional Relax Package. </p><p>Moreover, the Sportline variant adds&nbsp;electrically adjustable sports seats, a three-spoke steering wheel, and aluminium pedals.</p><h2><strong>Skoda Peaq: Exterior</strong></h2><p>

      </div>
    <p><br></p><p>The Peaq follows the brand’s evolved Modern Solid design. It has illuminated Tech-Deck Face and sleek LED elements, Matrix LED headlights, and 19- to 21-inch aero wheels.&nbsp;It will be offered in ten colour options, including a Sportline version that adds sportier styling cues and added features.</p>

Skoda Peaq Electric SUV, Based on Vision 7S Concept, to Offer Over 600 km Range

The upcoming Skoda Peaq SUV will be underpinned by the MEB (Modular Electrification Toolkit) platform and offered in both 5- and 7-seater configurations.

<p>Skoda India has issued a voluntary recall for 221 units of the Kodiaq<a href="https://www.autox.com/suv-cars-in-india/"> SUV</a> due to a manufacturing defect in the front seat structure. The affected vehicles were manufactured between 10 March 2025 and 8 December 2025. This safety action follows internal quality assessments that identified a potential risk to occupant safety in the event of a collision. The carmaker has already notified the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) and the relevant transport authorities.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/2026-skoda-kushaq-first-drive-review-worth-a-second-look-123163/">2026 Skoda Kushaq First Drive Review: Worth a Second Look?</a></p><p>The technical concern involves the edge of the inner frame of the front seats. An improperly finished or welded frame could potentially fail under the high pressures of a crash. If the structural integrity of the backrest is compromised, the seat may not maintain its position, significantly increasing the risk of injury to the driver or front passenger.</p><p>Beyond the physical stability of the seat, the defect directly impacts the vehicle's secondary safety systems. The side airbags in the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/skoda/kodiaq/">Kodiaq</a> are integrated into the seat assembly. A faulty inner frame can interfere with the correct deployment or rupture the airbag casing. This may cause the airbags to inflate in an incorrect sequence or direction, reducing the level of protection provided during a side-impact accident.</p><p>

Authorised service centres will examine the front seat inner frames to ensure they meet factory safety standards. If a defect is confirmed, technicians will replace the entire seat frame assembly to restore the vehicle to its original safety specifications.</p><p>No accidents or injuries related to this seat frame issue have been reported at this time. However, the manufacturer has advised customers to prioritise the inspection as the defect involves critical safety components. </p>

Skoda Kushaq Facelift Review - What Skoda Still Didn’t Fix | autoX

The Škoda Kushaq has always been one of the most driver-focused SUVs in its segment. But today, that’s not enough. With rivals pushing more features and tech, has this update closed the gap?

<p class="MsoNormal">When it was launched in 2021, the Kushaq immediately gave
    Skoda Auto a much-needed sales boost. The heavily localised SUV struck the
    right balance between price, performance and everyday usability, and in doing
    so provided Skoda with a significant push in the Indian market.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Fast forward to 2026, and the Kushaq finds itself
    overshadowed by its more affordable sibling, the Kylaq, which offers a similar
    driving experience at a lower price point. While the Kylaq has been racking up
    strong numbers, the Kushaq has struggled to keep pace.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The new Kushaq facelift, then, is not merely about freshening things
    up; it is about staying relevant in an already fiercely competitive segment and
    helping the Kushaq attract more buyers. So, how effective are the updates that
    the new Kushaq offers?</p>

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fsnEciYm8Ek?si=-N8ETMgcPN2aQpNY" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

<h2>2026 Skoda Kushaq Review: Exterior Changes</h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have always preferred the design of Skoda vehicles over
    their Volkswagen counterparts; to my eye, they appear more dynamic and
    engaging. Now, the Kushaq was already a handsome SUV, and this facelift
    introduces subtle tweaks that make it look more contemporary and interesting.</p>

<div class="post-image">
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/03/2026-Skoda-Kushaq-front-grille-1773983574871.webp" alt="2026 Skoda Kushaq front grille.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
</div>

<p><br></p><p>I particularly like the updated grille, which now features a
slim light strip running across it. It is designed to appear seamlessly
connected to the DRLs within the headlamps at both ends. The removal of the
thick border around the grille also contributes to a cleaner, more modern look.
Both bumpers have been revised, and although the changes are subtle, they work
well.</p>
<p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/03/2026-Skoda-Kushaq-rear-design-1773983633991.webp" alt="2026 Skoda Kushaq rear design.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
</p>



<p>While I am not especially fond of the current trend of connected
taillamps that every new vehicle seems to have, I must say that Skoda’s
execution of the connected taillights on the Kushaq looks rather good. The
integration of the Skoda badge within the light bar, along with the neat
detailing on both sides, lends the whole setup a premium touch. You also now
get directional turn indicators, which are standard across all variants.</p>

<p>Another welcome addition is the inclusion of alloy wheels as
standard. The base variant now gets 16-inch units, while higher trims come
equipped with 17-inch alloys. The Monte Carlo version, in particular, stands
out with its sportier design.
Overall, the Kushaq remains a handsome SUV. The updates
subtly elevate its design, giving it a hint of Kodiaq-like presence and making
it feel a touch more upmarket. </p>
<h2>2026 Skoda Kushaq Review: Interior Equipment Changes</h2>
<p>Inside, the updates are rather interesting. The SUV now
comes with a panoramic sunroof. In fact, the base variant gets an electronic
sunroof, albeit a smaller unit, while the higher trims are equipped with the
full-sized version – good news for those who like this feature. I am, however,
more impressed by the increase in size elsewhere – the instrument cluster. </p>

<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/03/2026-Skoda-Kushaq-Monte-Carlo-dashboard-1773983329861.webp" alt="2026 Skoda Kushaq Monte Carlo dashboard.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
</div>

<p>The Kushaq now features a 10.25-inch multi-colour MID with a
clean and intuitive user interface. It can even display turn-by-turn
navigation. Disappointingly, Skoda has still not equipped the Kushaq with a
360-degree camera, which feels like a significant omission. It does, however,
have a front parking sensor. The rear camera's quality has not improved.</p>

<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/03/2026-Skoda-Kushaq-instrument-cluster-1773983441640.webp" alt="2026 Skoda Kushaq instrument cluster.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
</div>

<p>Move to the second row, and you will find that the seats now
come with a massage function that actually works quite well. I was impressed by
its effectiveness, although I think Skoda might have been better off offering
seat ventilation for the second row instead. There are no sunshades here either. </p>
<h2>2026 Skoda Kushaq Review: Driving Experience<br></h2>
<p>Mechanically, the Kushaq remains unchanged, with the same
1.0-litre and 1.5-litre engines continuing to do duty. The gearbox options,
however, have been revised. The 1.5-litre Kushaq is now offered exclusively
with a 7-speed DCT across the range. It is a shame to see the manual
discontinued, though it is understandable given the strong preference for
automatics. The smaller engine continues with a 6-speed manual, but the
earlier 6-speed torque-converter automatic has now been replaced by an 8-speed
unit. Crucially, this new automatic is available right from the base Classic+
variant, which is a sensible move.</p>

<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/03/2026-Skoda-Kushaq-duo-driving-1773983237214.webp" alt="2026 Skoda Kushaq duo driving.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
</div>

<p>Out on the road, the new 8-speed gearbox doesn’t feel
dramatically different from the older unit, but there are some improvements.
The engine feels smoother while cruising, with minimal vibrations and very
little noise filtering into the cabin. At around 80 km/h, the drivetrain feels
slightly more relaxed. You can also shift gears manually, and the jump from
sixth to seventh drops engine speeds from around 2,000 rpm to roughly 1,500
rpm. The additional gears also contribute to a marginal improvement in fuel
efficiency – it’s now rated at 19.09 km/l, compared to 18.09 km/l earlier.
The new gearbox somewhat masks the initial lag in the lower
rev range, although you still feel head-nods as power surges abruptly with
rising revs. Gearshifts aren’t significantly smoother either. So, while the
update does not transform the experience dramatically, it does make it slightly
more refined without introducing any notable drawbacks.</p>

<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/03/2026-Skoda-Kushaq-Monte-Carlo-rear-driving-1773983703243.webp" alt="2026 Skoda Kushaq Monte Carlo rear driving.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
</div>

<p>The driving dynamics of the Kushaq remain largely unchanged
and continue to be enjoyable. It glides over bumps and inspires confidence
through corners, thanks to a competent chassis and a well-sorted suspension
setup. The steering could do with more feedback at higher speeds, but it
remains light and easy to use in the city. The addition of rear disc brakes on
the 1.5-litre variant is a welcome upgrade, offering greater
confidence and better bite during braking. While not essential, the option of ADAS in the higher
trims would have helped it compete more effectively with rivals in the segment. </p>
<h2>2026 Skoda Kushaq Review: Verdict<br></h2>
<p>This facelift does not bring a radical overhaul to the
Kushaq package, but it does equip it with a few additional tools to better
tackle the competition. That said, it still feels lacking in terms of outright
feature count when compared with some rivals. While many modern features can be
dismissed as gimmicks, some are genuinely useful, and their
absence here is noticeable. The core strengths of the SUV – solid driving
dynamics, a comfortable ride, and strong engine options – remain intact, while
the updates add just enough polish to keep it relevant.</p>

<p>The starting price of the Kushaq has not changed
significantly, with the 1.0-litre manual priced at Rs 10.61 lakh. However, the Kushaq
1.5 feels somewhat expensive. It's available in two trims – Prestige and Monte
Carlo – priced at Rs 18.79 lakh and Rs 18.99 lakh, respectively (all prices
ex-showroom).
</p><p>What works in the Kushaq’s favour is the improved value
proposition at the lower end of the range. Much like the Kylaq, it now offers
more features in its entry-level trims, making it accessible to a broader set
of buyers. For those who appreciate what the Kylaq offers but need more
space, the Kushaq presents itself as a sensible step up.</p>

2026 Skoda Kushaq First Drive Review: Worth a Second Look?

Has Skoda been too conservative with the updates to the Kushaq facelift, or are they just enough to make it an easy recommendation over its competitors?

<p>Skoda Auto Volkswagen India has officially commenced the production of the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/skoda/kushaq-facelift/">Skoda Kushaq facelift</a> from its Chakan plant in Pune. With the official launch window in March, this premium compact SUV is poised to be Skoda’s most significant release of the year. Having made its global debut in January, the model has transitioned into local production ahead of its highly anticipated arrival in the Indian market. Pre-bookings for the new Kushaq are now open via the brand’s official website and authorised showrooms, with early consumer interest suggesting a strong demand for the 2026 model.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/new-skoda-kushaq-production-begins-ahead-of-india-launch-122977/">2026 Skoda Kushaq Facelift - Czech it Out</a></p><p>The <a href="https://www.autox.com/suv-cars-in-india/">SUV</a> will be available in five distinct variants: Classic Plus, Signature, Sportline, Prestige, and the range-topping Monte Carlo. </p><h2><strong>New Skoda Kushaq: Exterior</strong></h2><p>The 2026 Skoda Kushaq design receives several sophisticated aesthetic tweaks to maintain its competitive edge.

New Skoda Kushaq Production Begins Ahead of India Launch 

Skoda starts production of the updated Kushaq in Pune ahead of its India launch, with new styling, added features and existing turbo petrol engines.

<p>Seven months. Thousands of kilometres. Endless city traffic, highway runs, a 24-hour endurance drive, and even track time.</p><p>We’ve lived with the Škoda Kylaq long enough to move beyond first impressions — and now it’s time for the honest verdict. Is it still the most engaging compact SUV in its segment? Or do the compromises begin to show once the honeymoon phase ends? From daily commuting to being pushed to the limit, we’ve tested the Kylaq in conditions most owners never will. Some strengths have impressed us consistently. A few weaknesses have become clearer over time.</p>

Skoda Kylaq: Where It Wins - And Where It Doesn’t | Long Term Review | autoX

Seven months. Thousands of kilometres. Endless city traffic, highway runs, a 24-hour endurance drive, and even track time.

<p>Skoda is reportedly preparing key updates for its sub-4-metre compact SUV, including a Sportline variant, a CNG powertrain, and an 8-speed automatic transmission (recently added to the Kushaq Facelift). While these additions have not yet been officially confirmed, they are expected to enhance the SUV’s appeal and strengthen its presence in the crowded segment. </p><p>The <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/skoda/kylaq/">Skoda Kylaq</a>, which launched in late 2024, recently reached a significant production milestone, with the 50,000th unit rolling off the assembly line at Skoda’s Chakan plant in Pune. </p><p>The facility has recently expanded its production capacity by 30% to keep pace with growing demand. Alongside these developments, Skoda Auto India implemented its second price revision for the Kylaq this year, with increases of up to Rs 33,000 across variants. The <a href="https://www.autox.com/suv-cars-in-india/">SUV </a>now starts at Rs 7.59 lakh and goes up to Rs 12.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Let’s take a closer look at the key features and potential updates of the Kylaq SUV.</p><h2><strong>Skoda Kylaq Sportline</strong></h2><p>Skoda  is gearing up to launch a Sportline version of the Kylaq SUV&nbsp; to target buyers who look for a more aggressive and sturdier option.&nbsp;You can expect a few key design changes in the form of new alloys, blacked-out trims,&nbsp;and taillamps with smoked-effect. That said,&nbsp;the engine setup will most likely remain the same.</p><h2><strong>Skoda Kylaq CNG</strong></h2><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/02/Skoda-Kylaq-Engine-Close-Up-1770699870852.webp" alt="Skoda Kylaq-Engine-Close-Up.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The Kylaq SUV&nbsp;is expected to receive a CNG powertrain option soon. The CNG&nbsp;will likely be available&nbsp;as a dealer-fitted retrofit for manual variants only.&nbsp;The CNG-equipped Kylaq is anticipated&nbsp;to offer a mileage of around 25–30 km/kg.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/hyundai-venue-vs-skoda-kylaq-vs-kia-syros-three-of-a-kind-122877/">Hyundai Venue vs Skoda Kylaq vs Kia Syros - Three of a Kind</a></p><p>For comparison,&nbsp;the current Kylaq delivers a claimed fuel&nbsp;efficiency of 19.68km/l with the manual gearbox,&nbsp;while the automatic version returns 19.05km/l.</p><h2><strong>Skoda Kylaq 8-speed Automatic Transmission</strong></h2><p>Skoda is likely to offer an 8-speed automatic gearbox option with the Kylaq SUV, following its recent debut in the Kushaq facelift. Currently, the SUV can be had&nbsp;with either a 6-speed manual or a  6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. </p>

Skoda Kylaq Likely to Get These Key Updates – Details Inside

The Skoda Kylaq is priced between Rs 7.59 and Rs 12.99 lakh (both, ex-showroom). It locks horns with the Nissan Magnite, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, the Hyundai Venue, and the Mahindra XUV 3XO.

If there’s one thing Indian car buyers and European manufacturers have struggled with, it’s a shared love language. For years, we wanted German engineering in an affordable SUV form, but we weren’t always willing to pay the premium for ‘European’ maintenance. Then came 2021, and with it, the Skoda Kushaq - the first model from the company’s India 2.0 strategy. It wasn’t just a car; it was a promise that you could have your enthusiast-friendly cake and eat it too, without a heart-attack-inducing service bill.</p><p>The Kushaq, built on the well-tuned MQB-A0-IN platform, made daily commutes feel like a weekend around the BIC. However, while we loved the 1.5 TSI’s punch, the market was evolving. Korean rivals were busy stuffing their cars with cooled seats and panoramic glass roofs, making the Kushaq’s single-pane sunroof and drum brakes feel a bit... 2010.</p>

      
    
      
    


<h2>2026 Skoda Kushaq Facelift: Engine, Design and Feature Updates</h2>

<p>Enter the 2026 facelift. Skoda is now offering more muscle and better gadgets, in a smarter-looking tuxedo. Think of it like Daniel Craig replacing Pierce Brosnan as the new-age 007. The most significant mechanical update is under the hood.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/02/Skoda-Kushaq-Facelift-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation-1770631678943.webp" alt="Skoda Kushaq Facelift-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>The 1.0 TSI finally ditches the 6-speed automatic for a more sophisticated 8-speed torque converter. It’s a move clearly aimed at those who found the older unit a bit jerky in the stop-go madness of city traffic -  and that too, not very efficiently. Meanwhile, the 1.5 TSI finally gets rear disc brakes.</p>

<p>Visually, the Modern Solid design language has evolved well. The new illuminated light band across the grille and the connected LED taillights with sequential indicators give it a premium, high-tech glow.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/02/Skoda-Kushaq-Facelift-Rear-Static-1770631671829.webp" alt="Skoda Kushaq Facelift-Rear-Static.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>Inside, the cabin feels more premium. We now get a massive panoramic sunroof and a segment-first rear seat massage function. Yes, you read that right - the Kushaq can now knead your back while you’re stuck in heavy traffic. The only caveat: the feature is available only to rear-seat passengers, not to the driver or co-driver, the Kushaq’s core target group.</p>

<h2>2026 Skoda Kushaq Facelift: Standard Safety and Feature Upgrades</h2>

<p>But the real kicker is Skoda’s aggressive move to make premium features more accessible. The new Kushaq offers 6 airbags, alloy wheels, LED headlamps, and Climatronic Auto AC as standard. It’s a bold statement which more manufacturers should follow: safety, style and convenience shouldn’t be optional extras.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/02/Skoda-Kushaq-Facelift-1770631662273.webp" alt="Skoda Kushaq Facelift.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>So, the verdict? For a while, the Kushaq was the smart choice for the enthusiast who didn’t mind missing out on a few toys. That has changed with this update. By integrating Google Gemini AI for context-aware voice commands and upgrading the mechanicals, the Kushaq has moved from being a niche alternative to a segment frontrunner. It’s still easy to love, but now, it’s significantly harder for consumers to ignore.</p><iframe width="1425" height="500" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/q_ecTYGGX4Y" title="New Skoda Kushaq Walkaround: Rear Massage Seats &amp; 8-Speed Automatic! | autoX" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

      
    
      
    


2026 Skoda Kushaq Facelift - Czech it Out

The 2026 Kushaq facelift adds smarter tech, stronger standard safety kit, and key mechanical upgrades to stay ahead in the mid-size SUV game.

<p>Spy shots of the facelifted<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/skoda/slavia/"> Skoda Slavia</a> have emerged online, giving us an early glimpse&nbsp;of the changes on the sedan. While the overall shape remains the same, the sedan gains a more aggressive face&nbsp;with a lower, sharply styled air dam, a refreshed grille, and updated headlamp internals. From the side, the <a href="https://www.autox.com/sedan-cars-in-india/">sedan</a> is largely unchanged, though alloy wheels look new. </p><p>The rear also shows subtle revisions on the bumper and a connected LED taillight strip, reminiscent of Skoda<a href="https://www.autox.com/suv-cars-in-india/"> SUVs,</a> hinting at a modernised look. While spy images don’t offer a full view&nbsp;of the facelifted Slavia’s cabin, what is visible suggests that Skoda has largely retained&nbsp;the familiar dashboard design. That said, the sedan appears to have borrowed the 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster from the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/skoda/kushaq-facelift/">Kushaq facelift.</a></p><p>
