The mid-size SUV from the Czech car marque with new amenities is slated for launch soon
The mid-size SUV from the Czech car marque continues to offer sneak peeks ahead of the launch in the coming weeks. The mid-size SUV segment is among the most crowded in our market. Models from all major mass market car brands are on sale in this space. This makes this category brutally competitive. The Kushaq has done quite well for Skoda on the sales charts in the last couple of years. Nevertheless, constant upgrades are needed to stay relevant. That is exact what Skoda plans for the new Kushaq.
This post stems from auto.thrust on Instagram. As per the information in the video, we come to know that this is somewhere in Pune, Maharashtra. In the visuals, we are able to see the rear profile alone. Also, because of the heavy camouflage, it becomes difficult to know about the styling. Still, the LED taillamps are visible, along with the high-mount stop lamp and reflector lights on the bumper. Apart from that, I wasn’t able to gather too much from this short clip. Having said that, we will come to know about the details as the launch nears.
New Skoda Kushaq Facelift Spotted Testing
Last updated on 24.09.2025 – The new Skoda Kushaq facelift has been spied testing yet again. Kushaq has been an instrumental product in Skoda’s India lineup in the last few years. Based on the heavily localized MQB A0 IN platform, Kushaq, along with Slavia, has taken sales to the next level. In fact, these two vehicles have, essentially, revived the brand in India. This growth has also translated to VW with the Taigun and Virtus. First launched in 2021, the Kushaq is certainly due for a facelift. Here’s what to expect.
New Skoda Kushaq Facelift Spotted Testing
As per the details of this post, the mid-size SUV was seen testing on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. Understandably, the body is wrapped in a thick camouflage. At the front, the silhouette of the butterfly Skoda grille and bonnet line is visible. Also, the sleek headlamps and LED DRLs are somewhat similar to the existing model. While we can’t know the exact design theme, it would be fair to assume that there will be enough differences to the fascia to establish its unique identity.
Interestingly, the side profile is partially visible. The door panels look identical to the current model. Also, the black side pillars and roof rails add a bit of ruggedness. I expect the Kushaq facelift to bear new alloy wheels. Finally, the tail section contains a roof-mounted spoiler, a shark fin antenna, slim LED taillamps and a sporty bumper. All in all, there won’t be extravagant distinctions in comparison to the existing model, but enough to tell the two apart.
Expected Features and Specs
In order to rival the mighty Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, etc., it is critical for Skoda to up its game with the addition of more features and tech. Hence, we can expect the Czech auto giant to equip its Kushaq facelift with all the latest safety and connectivity amenities. In terms of specifications, the Kushaq facelift will most likely carry on with two turbo petrol mills – 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre. There will be options of manual and automatic transmissions. Let us keep an eye out for more details as and when they emerge.
