Skoda Kushaq facelift: What to expect?
The latest spy shots that have emerged from Maharashtra showcase a middle-spec variant of the upcoming Kushaq facelift, being tested on the Mumbai-Pune expressway. The front and rear design of the car has been camouflaged for privacy reasons.
However, a closer look reveals that the facelift version will get a new front end with stretched-out LED headlights, a wider front grille, and a new front bumper with redesigned aero dams for better efficiency.
Similarly, the rear-end is also covered, but a closer look shows the new boot design, a set of new LED taillights, a new rear bumper, and a reworked roof-mounted spoiler. The side profile is equipped with new 17-inch alloy wheels.
We are expecting a massive upgrade on the inside of the car. As per the online rumours, the Kushaq facelift will be equipped with a new dashboard, a bigger digital console with improved UI, and a bigger infotainment screen. Additionally, the overall interior quality, materials used, and luxury factor will be reworked to offer a better feel.
We are also expecting new features to be added to the Kushaq facelift. One of these will be the Level 2 ADAS, a safety tech suite that the Skoda and VW cars have been missing until now.
Powering the new Kushaq facelift will be the same 1.0 TSI and 1.5 TSI engine options. Mechanically, the car will remain unchanged.
The expected launch timeline of the new Kushaq is by mid-2026. With the addition of the new features and improved safety tech, the prices are expected to take a slight hike.
