Design

• The 2026 Skoda Kushaq gets a more confident front look than before. The front grille is wider and more commanding.

• The LED headlamps are slimmer and sharper now, and the LED DRLs are connected by an LED lighting strip through the grille (a design element borrowed from the more premium Kodiaq), which gives the Kushaq a cool look.

• The front bumper looks neater, with better-shaped air intakes and a skid plate.

• From the side, the overall shape of the Kushaq stays the same, but newly designed 17-inch alloy wheels make it look a bit fresher.

• The rear is where the biggest change is, with a full-width LED light bar with ‘Skoda’ lettering that makes the car look stylish, especially at night.

Curious which variant gets what colour option? We’ve covered that here.

Interior

• Step inside the 2026 Skoda Kushaq and the cabin feels lighter and more pleasant, especially with the new dual-tone (black and beige) theme that makes it look more airy than before. If you like a darker cabin, you still have the option for that in the Monte Carlo variant.

• The dashboard design is still simple and easy to understand, with a clean, horizontal layout and a floating touchscreen in the centre.

• The finishes have improved a bit, with less shiny plastic and more matte surfaces, so it looks cleaner.

• Material quality is decent for the segment. You get soft-touch elements in key areas and leatherette on the seats and armrests, but there are still some hard plastics around.

• The seats are comfortable and supportive, with a slightly firm feel that works well for long drives.

• There’s some added mood lighting inside now, which gives the cabin a nicer feel at night without being too flashy.

• Small additions like a panoramic sunroof and a few extra comfort features in top variants add a bit of extra appeal, making the cabin feel more upmarket than before.

Boot Space

• The Skoda Kushaq facelift has a bootspace of 385-litres measure up to its parcel shelf and 491 litres when measured to its roof.

• The second row seats get a 60:40 split functionality, which, when folded completely, expands the boot space to 1405 litres.

Features

• The new Kushaq continues with its fair bit of modern features like a 10.1-inch touchscreen for infotainment (now paired with an AI assistant by Google), ventilated front seats, a wireless phone charger, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, auto AC, cruise control, a 6-speaker sound system and connected car tech.

• It gets a handful of updates, like a bigger 10.25-inch digital driver’s display with turn-by-turn navigation, a panoramic sunroof, dual-colour ambient lighting, and a first-in-segment rear seat massage function. Which variant gets what features can be found here.

Safety

• The Skoda Kushaq facelift gets a lot of essential safety features as standard now, like six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), ABS with EBD, traction control, hill hold control (AT only), rain-sensing wipers, rear parking sensors and ISOFIX child seat anchorages.

• Only the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and rear parking camera are not offered in the base variant. It is available in the other trims. Meanwhile, features like a 360-degree camera system and a level-2 advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) are still missing.

Powertrain Option

The 2026 Skoda Kushaq is available with its familiar 1-litre and 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine options. The specifications are as follows:

*AT = Torque converter automatic transmission; ^DCT = Dual-clutch automatic transmission

A good point to note is the Kushaq gets the automatic option right from the entry-level model (check variant-wise powertrain options here).

Alternate Choices

If you’re in the market for a compact SUV, the new Kushaq does position itself as a handsome, fun-to-drive choice in the segment. However, if you want to check alternate options, here are your top choices:

• New Renault Duster: Launched recently in a new avatar, the Duster, with its 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine option, also proves to be a quite fun-to-drive SUV in this segment.

• Tata Sierra: Another iconic name that has a bold road presence as well as a great set of modern features (Kushaq vs Sierra compared here).

• Kia Seltos: The new-generation Kia Seltos is another highly feature-equipped compact SUV that is loaded with tech to the brim (Kushaq vs Seltos compared here).

• Hyundai Creta: The most trusted name in the segment, also available in a sportier N Line and an electric avatar.

• Maruti Victoris: If your priority is efficiency, the Victoris could be one of the most frugal options, also available with a CNG version.
