Fresh Design, New Colors and Better Cabin Feel
The biggest change is visible at the front.
The new Kushaq gets a wider grille, sharper LED headlamps, and connected LED DRLs, giving it a more premium look.
The front bumper has also been cleaned up and now looks more neatly styled.
From the side, the SUV still looks familiar, but the new 17-inch alloy wheels give it a fresher appearance.
The dimensions remain the same overall, with a wheelbase of 2651 mm and ground clearance of 188 mm.
At the rear, the facelift stands out more clearly.
A wide LED light bar with “SKODA” lettering gives it a more modern and stylish finish, especially at night.
The SUV is available in eight color options, including three new shades:
Shimla Green
Cherry Red
Steel Grey
Brilliant Silver
Deep Black
Carbon Steel
Candy White
Lava Blue
The Monte Carlo version gets a more aggressive look with an all-black grille, red accents, special alloy wheels, and exclusive badging.
Inside, the cabin now uses a dual-tone black and beige theme, which makes it feel brighter and more open.
The Monte Carlo variant offers a darker interior for those who prefer a sportier feel.
Features, Comfort and Practicality
The dashboard has a clean, simple layout with a floating touchscreen in the center.
Skoda has also improved the cabin quality by using more matte surfaces and less glossy plastic.
The seats are supportive and comfortable, with a slightly firm feel that should work well on long drives.
Higher variants also get ambient lighting and a panoramic sunroof, making the cabin feel more premium.
On the feature list, the new Kushaq comes with a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Google AI Assistant, ventilated front seats, wireless phone charging, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic climate control, cruise control, a 6-speaker audio system, and connected car features.
It also gets a 10.25-inch digital driver display with turn-by-turn navigation.
One of the standout additions is a rear-seat massage function, which is said to be a segment-first feature.
For luggage space, the Kushaq offers 385 litres of boot space up to the parcel shelf and 491 litres up to the roofline.
With the rear seats folded in a 60:40 split, total cargo space expands to 1,405 litres.
The SUV also continues with Skoda’s “Simply Clever” features, including a ticket holder on the A-pillar.
