Skoda’s Kushaq, introduced in 2021, has been a contender in the mid-size SUV market, facing off against the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. The company is set to launch the Kushaq facelift, with exterior and interior upgrades planned. The release is anticipated around late 2025 or early 2026, according to reports.
A notable upgrade in the facelifted model is the inclusion of a panoramic sunroof. The existing model has a standard sunroof on higher trims. Furthermore, the new Skoda Kushaq will likely come with Level-2 ADAS, similar to the systems found in the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Honda Elevate. Other possible features include ventilated front seats and new interior trim designs.
The facelift will also feature cosmetic changes. These may include updated headlamps, a redesigned front grille, a modified air dam design, and repositioned fog lamps. New alloy wheels could also be included. The rear of the car might get redesigned tail lights and a revised bumper.
The engine options are likely to remain unchanged. The Kushaq facelift will likely be offered with two turbocharged petrol engines: a 1.0-liter TSI engine producing 115 bhp and a 1.5-liter TSI unit generating 150 bhp. Transmission options will likely include a 6-speed manual, a 6-speed torque converter automatic, and a 7-speed dual-clutch.
