1 Nov
Summary
- Skoda to launch Kushaq Facelift 2026 with Level-2 ADAS
- New features include 360-degree camera, panoramic sunroof, and digital driver display
- Kushaq Facelift to be more premium and feature-rich than previous model
In November 2025, Skoda is preparing to launch the 2026 facelift of its popular compact SUV, the Kushaq. The updated model will be more advanced, safe, and feature-rich than the previous version, addressing customer demands.
The key highlight of the Kushaq Facelift 2026 is the addition of Level-2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System), making it Skoda's first SUV in India to offer this advanced safety technology. The ADAS package will include features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, Forward Collision Warning, and Automatic Emergency Braking.
Skoda has also made the cabin of the Kushaq Facelift more luxurious and tech-centric. The SUV will now feature a large touchscreen infotainment system, a new digital driver display, an improved sound system, and a panoramic sunroof. These upgrades aim to position the Kushaq above its competitors in the compact SUV segment, such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, MG Astor, and Honda Elevate.
Externally, the 2026 Kushaq Facelift will sport a more modern and bold design, with updates to the grille, headlights, taillights, and alloy wheels. Skoda's adoption of its Modern Solid Design Language will give the SUV a sharper and more premium look.
Under the hood, the Kushaq Facelift will continue to offer the same engine options as before: a 1.0L 3-cylinder TSI engine and a 1.5L 4-cylinder TSI engine, paired with manual and automatic transmission options.
The new Skoda Kushaq Facelift is scheduled to launch in early 2026, with an estimated price range of ₹11 lakh to ₹19 lakh. It will directly compete with the Volkswagen Taigun, Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, and MG Astor in the compact SUV segment.
