Skoda Kushaq Facelift: Design
On the outside, the Kushaq facelift is expected to get noticeable design updates. The front may feature a revised grille, updated LED headlamps and new daytime running lights. Skoda could also tweak the front bumper to match its latest design language. At the rear, connected LED tail lamps are expected along with refreshed branding. New alloy wheel designs may also be introduced, giving the SUV a cleaner and more modern road presence, while the overall body shape is likely to remain unchanged.
Skoda Kushaq Facelift: Interior
The Interior changes are expected to be subtle but useful. The dashboard layout may stay the same, but Skoda is likely to update trims, inserts and material quality. Switchgear placement could see small improvements for better usability. The seating layout and boot space are expected to continue unchanged. New interior colour options may be added to give the facelifted Kushaq a fresh feel compared to the current version.
The biggest update is expected in the features list. The Skoda Kushaq facelift is likely to offer a panoramic sunroof and for the first time. A larger touchscreen infotainment system with updated software is also expected. Other features could include a digital instrument cluster, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, wireless charging, ventilated front seats and connected car technology. Safety may also improve with the possible addition of Level 2 ADAS features such as adaptive cruise control, lane assist and forward collision warning.
Skoda Kushaq Facelift: Engine
The Kushaq facelift is expected to continue with the same petrol engines. These include the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol and the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol units. Transmission options should include manual and automatic gearboxes, depending on the variant. No diesel engine is planned, and there are no signs of mechanical changes. With updated features and refreshed styling, Skoda aims to keep the Kushaq relevant in a fast-moving SUV segment. Prices and variant-wise details are expected to be announced at launch.
