Skoda Kushaq Facelift – Urban Explorer Getting ADAS Upgrade & More
- Skoda Kushaq Facelift, refreshed design and new features.
- Price estimate and launch timelines.
The Skoda Kushaq facelift brings an infusion of excitement to the compact SUV segment. This model made its debut in 2021, but now we’re talking more than just a slight nip and tuck. Skoda is preparing to introduce really noticeable changes, both inside and out. They seem to want to enhance Kushaq’s appeal by integrating their latest global design language in the car.
When is Skoda Kushaq Facelift launching in India?
Skoda hasn’t announced an exact slot yet. Reports hint that Skoda Kushaq facelift could hit Indian roads by late 2025 or early 2026. Rumors suggest an August 2025 launch, which is right around the corner. This means we may see an official reveal around festive season. Always an exciting time for new car introductions.
What new Kushaq Facelift features can we expect?
The upcoming Skoda Kushaq facelift promises a spectrum of laudable updates.
Outside, we may see:
- Revised front fascia with new grille
- Modified headlights
- Redesigned bumper for a sharper more modern look
We may (speculating) also see these premium touches:
- New L-shaped LED taillights
- Connected LED light bar at rear
- New alloy wheel designs
Inside the cabin, coming changes will focus on improved comfort, convenience, and tech. While core layout may remain similar, we could see:
- Updated upholstery
- Fresh trim designs
- Larger more responsive infotainment system
Also on the features front, there could be a potential integration of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). This will mark a huge step up for the Skoda Kushaq.
Features like a 360-degree camera and improved connected car technology are also highly anticipated, making the SAV more tech-savvy.
There’s even a chance we might see a panoramic sunroof in higher-end versions.
Will engine options change for Skoda Kushaq Facelift?
When it comes to the heart of the beast, the Skoda Kushaq facelift is expected to retain its trusted powertrain options. This means we will likely still find:
- 1.0-litre three-cylinder TSI turbo petrol engine
- 1.5-litre four-cylinder TSI turbo petrol engine
Both have been appreciated for their performance value.
Transmission options should also carry over, including:
- 6-speed manual
- 6-speed torque converter automatic (for the 1.0L engine)
- 7-speed DSG for the 1.5L engine
But there is also talk of a potential upgrade for the 1.0L engine down the line. Maybe an 8-speed torque converter automatic gearbox? If that happens, it could really make the Skoda Kushaq facelift even better on fuel efficiency and a joy to drive.
What is Skoda Kushaq price?
About the price of the Skoda Kushaq after this refresh, Skoda hasn’t officially spilled the beans yet. Presently, the Skoda Kushaq in India goes for about Rs 10.99 lakh to Rs 19.09 lakh (ex-showroom), give or take.
Given the new additions in the pipeline, it’s fair to expect the Skoda Kushaq facelift to come with a marginally higher price tag.
Industry experts are guessing the facelifted model might kick off around Rs 11.19 lakh and top out at about Rs 19.49 lakh (ex-showroom) for the top Skoda Kushaq model.
While this is just an educated guess, it seems like Skoda is aiming to keep things competitive while still giving Skoda enthusiasts more bang for their buck.
