2026 Skoda Kushaq Facelift: Design
The 2026 Skoda Kushaq facelift is expected to come with a refreshed front look. Updates will include a new grille design, revised bumper, and changes to the lighting setup. Skoda Kushaq is already known as one of the sportiest SUVs in its segment, and these touch-ups will make it look even more stylish.
The main highlight is the updated front LED headlight unit. It now gets a sleeker setup with LED DRLs positioned on the top part. What’s new is that these DRLs will also double up as turn indicators, giving the SUV a more premium and modern appearance.
The test car was seen without any cover on the sides, and it looks almost the same as before. The only change spotted is a new design for the alloy wheels. The Skoda Kushaq facelift still has regular door handles, wheel arch cladding, side trims, blacked-out B-pillars, dual-tone ORVMs, and roof rails.
At the back, Skoda might add connected tail lamps and give the bumper a fresh look with some new detailing. The body panels are expected to stay the same, but the facelift could bring in a few new colour choices to make it look more appealing.
2026 Skoda Kushaq Facelift: Powertrain
The Skoda Kushaq facelift will keep the same engine options as before. It will have a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine that makes 115 PS power and 178 Nm torque. This comes with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic gearbox, giving a mileage of 19.76 km/l and 18.09 km/l.
There is also a more powerful 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine that produces 150 PS and 250 Nm torque. This one is paired with a 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox and delivers a mileage of 18.86 km/l. So, performance and efficiency remain unchanged in the facelift.
2026 Skoda Kushaq Facelift: Cabin
Inside, the Skoda Kushaq facelift is expected to get several upgrades to match current market trends. The biggest change could be a panoramic sunroof, which was seen on earlier test cars.
Many SUV buyers now prefer this feature. Currently, the Kushaq only offers a single-pane sunroof, while rivals like Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder, and the new Maruti Victoris already have panoramic sunroofs.
The facelift may also bring updated infotainment and instrument screens. Safety could improve too, with ADAS expected to be added. Since Kushaq already has a 5-star Global NCAP rating, ADAS will make it even safer.
2026 Skoda Kushaq Facelift: Price
The 2026 Skoda Kushaq facelift is expected to be priced between Rs 11 lakh and Rs 20.50 lakh (ex-showroom, India). The final cost will depend on the variant and features chosen. In the Indian market this model will compete with Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and Honda Elevate.
