While Skoda is yet to reveal the full price list, expect the new Kushaq to be priced from Rs 11 lakh to Rs 19 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Kushaq facelift is Skoda’s attempt at reviving some of the charm that the SUV arrived with back in 2021. Right from comprehensive styling changes, to a longer feature list and even a new gearbox, it becomes a more competitive package to take on newer competition.

Styling-wise, it now gets a sleeker front end with slimmer LED headlamps, a connected light bar, larger grille, new bumper and a faux silver skid plate. Towards the side, changes are minor with the only major difference being a new design for the 17-inch alloy wheels.

However, move on towards the rear-end and it gets a completely-new connected LED taillamp cluster with sequential indicators. You also get to see a reworked bumper with thick cladding for added road presence.

Inside, it retains the same dashboard layout and the two-spoke steering wheel from the pre-facelift version but adds a panoramic sunroof for a more airy feel. Its feature list now includes rear massaging seats, a new 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with AI assistant, 6-way powered and ventilated front seats, ambient lighting, wireless charger and an X-speaker sound system.

Safety is taken care of by 6 airbags, electronic stability control, tyre pressure monitoring system, traction control, hill hold assist, rear view camera and front and rear parking sensors.
Under the hood, the Kushaq facelift is offered with a choice of 1-litre and 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engines. Here are the detailed specifications of these powertrains:
|
Engine |
1-litre turbo-petrol TSI |
1.5-litre turbo-petrol TSI |
|
Transmission |
6-speed manual/8-speed automatic |
7-speed DCT automatic |
|
Power (PS) |
115 PS |
150 PS |
|
Torque (Nm) |
178 Nm |
250 Nm |

Notably, the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine also gets active cylinder deactivation technology which can shut down two of the four cylinders for better fuel economy, when extra power is not required.
The Skoda Kushaq rivals cars like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Tata Sierra and Curvv, Maruti Grand Vitara and Victoris, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Citroen Aircross and the upcoming Renault Duster.
The Skoda Kushaq has always been a segment favourite amongst the enthusiasts, and this new facelift makes the package even better with more tech, sleeker styling and a new automatic transmission. That said, all eyes are now on the pricing, which should be revealed soon.
