Modern Solid Design with a Fresh Look

The new Kushaq Facelift features Škoda’s latest ‘Modern Solid’ design language. It comes with slim LED headlights, L-shaped DRLs, and a connected light bar integrated into the grille, giving it a more premium appearance. The front bumper has been redesigned with a silver skid plate, adding a strong SUV stance. The Monte Carlo variant gets gloss black elements and red accents for a sportier appeal. At the rear, a full-width LED light bar and illuminated SKODA badging provide a modern touch.

Better Combination of Technology and Comfort

Inside the cabin, the car offers a more premium and modern experience. It features a 10.25-inch digital driver display and a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system running on updated software. Additional highlights include dual-color ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it feel more advanced.

Škoda has also focused on comfort this time. Features like 6-way ventilated power seats, a rear seat massage function, and automatic climate control set it apart in the segment. The boot space has been increased to 491 litres, making it more practical for long journeys.

Reliable Package with 5-Star Safety

Safety remains strong in the new Kushaq Facelift. It comes equipped with 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, traction control, hill hold assist, and ISOFIX mounts. Like its predecessor, it retains a 5-star Global NCAP safety rating. Additional features such as rain-sensing wipers and an auto-dimming IRVM further enhance safety.

Engine and Gearbox Updates

One of the biggest updates in the Kushaq Facelift is in its engine and gearbox. The 1.0 TSI engine now comes with an 8-speed torque converter automatic, replacing the earlier 6-speed unit, making the drive smoother and more comfortable. It is also available with a 6-speed manual transmission.

The more powerful 1.5 TSI engine produces 150 hp and is paired with a 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox. This variant now also gets disc brakes on all four wheels, improving braking performance. It features Active Cylinder Technology, which helps balance power and efficiency.

Performance and Mileage Balance

Škoda has aimed to strike a good balance between performance and fuel efficiency. The 1.0 TSI manual variant delivers a mileage of 19.66 km/l (ARAI), while the new 8-speed automatic offers up to 19.09 km/l. The more powerful 1.5 TSI DSG variant provides a mileage of 18.72 km/l (ARAI).

The 1.5 TSI engine’s Active Cylinder Technology shuts down two cylinders under light load, improving fuel efficiency without compromising performance.

Variants and Features

The Classic+ variant, despite being the base model, comes well-equipped with features like 6 airbags and a sunroof. The Signature variant offers a larger infotainment system and an AI assistant. The Sportline variant is designed for those who prefer a sportier look.

The Prestige variant includes premium features like a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, and a digital cockpit. Meanwhile, the Monte Carlo variant stands out with its sporty design, red accents, and top-level features, making it the most distinctive option in the lineup.
