It’s been about three years since Skoda launched the Kushaq SUV in our market, which means it will soon be due for a mid-lifecycle makeover. Skoda has done well to keep the Kushaq up to date with new features and special editions, but it's set to get a thorough exterior makeover and new features with the facelift when it eventually arrives. We have already reported to you about some of new feature additions, and now we have fresh details about the exterior cosmetic updates as well.
- Kushaq facelift will get connected LED headlamps, tail lamps
- Equipment list will see addition of ADAS, 360-degree camera
- Will remain mechanically unchanged
Skoda Kushaq facelift exterior updates
As per our sources, the Kushaq facelift will adopt a connected lighting theme for both its headlamps and tail lamps, something that’s becoming an increasingly common design theme on cars across all segments. This will perhaps necessitate a major redesign of the headlamps that are expected to be connected at the grille, which too will grow larger in size. The connected tail lamps at the rear could resemble that of the new Kodiaq for that all-important family look.
We are also told the Kushaq will benefit from a new Olive Green exterior paint shade. Other updates could include reworked front and rear bumpers, and a new set of alloy wheels.
Skoda Kushaq facelift interior, features
We do not have the exact details of the interior cosmetic updates yet, but new trim and upholstery elements along with new colours could definitely be part of the mix. What we do know for sure is that equipment list will benefit from the inclusion of an ADAS suite. The Kushaq is already well-equipped with features like a digital instrument cluster, ventilated seats and six airbags, but it remains to be seen if crowd-favourite panoramic sunroof makes the cut with the facelift.
Skoda Kushaq facelift powertrain options
The Kushaq facelift will remain mechanically unchanged from the current model. It will continue with the 115hp, 178Nm 1.0-litre TSI and the 150hp, 250Nm, 1.5-litre TSI engines. A 6-speed manual gearbox will be standard on both; the 1.0-litre TSI will continue with its 6-speed AT as will the 1.5-litre TSI with its 7-speed DCT.
