Auto news India - Skoda Kushaq 2021 2026 news

Three of the eight exterior shades are new, while five have been retained from before

This is the first significant update to the Kushaq ever since its launch back in 2021

From punchy hatchbacks to powerful compact SUVs, here are the turbo-petrol models that promise an excitement into everyday driving

While most of the cars have at least a week’s wait time in multiple locations across India, there are a few oddballs that are readily available for delivery in some of the top Indian cities

The Kushaq facelift is expected to be launched in India by 2026 and will come with a heavily redesigned exterior and interior design

Both these cars will be getting more than just a nip and tuck

Skoda will be shipping the India-made Slavia and Kushaq to Vietnam as completely knocked down (CKD) units, making it the only other country to assemble the two newest Skoda offerings

While the total number of colour options remain the same, some of the hues have become optional extras, which require an additional payment of Rs 10,000

Skoda now offers the Kushaq in three broad variants: Classic, Signature, and Prestige and two special editions: Onyx and Monte Carlo

The automatic variant carries a premium of Rs 60,000 over the manual, and gets a few features from the Ambition variant

The Skoda Kushaq Explorer wears a new matte exterior finish with new details to increase its ruggedness

The Slavia and Kushaq have been the key drivers in Skoda’s recent success in India

In addition to global debuts of upcoming mass-market model updates, we witnessed launches in premium segments from both Mercedes-Benz and Lotus

The limited-run Elegance edition of the compact SUV costs Rs 20,000 more over its corresponding regular variant

With only 500 units of this Matte Edition up for grabs, you might need to hurry if you want one
