What to expect from the 2026 Skoda Kushaq facelift?
The updated Kushaq facelift is all set to be launched in India this month. The brand has released the first teaser with a quote, “The Wait Is Over”. The updated Kushaq facelift has been spied multiple times, testing in Maharashtra with semi-camouflage. It will get multiple changes to its design and interiors.
On the outside, the Kushaq facelift will get a new fascia with an updated grille, a new bumper, and new, sleeker LED headlights. The new changes will be inspired by the brand’s Modern Solid design philosophy.
Similarly, the rear end will also feature a redesigned LED light setup, along with a new bumper and new lettering. On the side profile, the only expected change will be the new design of 17-inch alloy wheels.
Skoda Kushaq has always been regarded as an SUV with fewer features, as compared to the rivals like Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. However, the facelifted model will change this as it will come with a new digital console, a bigger infotainment screen, a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, new ambient lights, wireless charging, dual-zone AC, and more.
Moreover, the brand will embed the Level 2 ADAS features like the adaptive cruise control, lane keep and change assist, blind spot monitoring and alert, automatic emergency braking, and more.
Meanwhile, the Kushaq facelift will remain unaltered mechanically. It will be offered with the current 1.0-litre turbo petrol and the 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine options, both paired with manual and automatic transmission options.
The Kushaq facelift will launch by the end of January 2026, and it will be positioned slightly higher than the current pricing.
