The carmaker had introduced a naming contest and has then shortlisted 10 names, from which one will be chosen for the production-spec model

Once launched, this new SUV will become the entry-level Skoda SUV offering in India

The Skoda Subcompact SUV will be based on the Kushaq’s heavily localised MQB-A0-IN platform

The Skoda SUV will likely come with only the smaller 1-litre turbo-petrol powertrain from the Kushaq
