2026 Skoda Kushaq Facelift vs Rivals: Dimensions Compared

Skoda had launched the 2026 Kushaq facelift a few weeks back, and the new model features a new refreshed design compared to the old model. While the styling is now more modern and elegant with the sporty cues, the Kushaq retains its funky SUV-ish body proportions. With rivals like the new Renault Duster, Tata Sierra and the new Kia Seltos growing in size in this segment, we assume you must be curious to see where the new Kushaq stands. So, in the next story, we compare its dimensions with those of other SUVs in the segment.

Dimensions Comparision 

• The Skoda Kushaq has one of the smallest lengths in the segment after the Volkswagen Taigun. The 2026 Kia Seltos is the longest car in this segment, beating the Kushaq by over 231 mm. 

• The Tata Sierra remains the widest and tallest car in the segment, and it also offers the longest wheelbase and maximum boot space. 

• The Skoda Kushaq has a longer wheelbase at 2651 mm when compared to the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Victoris, Honda Elevate, MG Astor, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, and the Maruti Grand Vitara.

• The Kushaq offers a boot space of 385 litres, which is more than the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder and the Maruti Grand Vitara.

• Overall, the Skoda Kushaq has the smallest dimensions and boot space, yet the space inside is not bad at all. Thanks to the 2651 mm wheelbase, occupants do not feel cramped.
