The updated Kushaq has been undergoing testing for some time, and the latest spy images reveal some really interesting details. One of the major upgrades will be the addition of a panoramic sunroof, as confirmed by the spy pictures. The SUV’s existing model offers a single-pane powered sunroof, which is reserved for the top-end Monte Carlo trim.
The new Skoda Kushaq facelift will also receive Level-2 ADAS (autonomous driver assistance system), already available on the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and Honda Elevate. Features such as ventilated front seats, new seat upholstery and trims might also be on offer.

Subtle cosmetic changes are expected for the new Kushaq. Spy images reveal that the updated model will feature slightly revised headlamps, a front grille with slimmer vertical slats, a more squared-off pattern for air dam and lower-set fog lamp clusters. The side profile will look refreshing the new set of blacked-out alloy wheels. At the rear, the new Skoda Kushaq might sport slimmer taillamps connected via a LED strip and a slightly tweaked bumper.

Transmission choices will include a 6-speed manual (1.0L variants only), a 6-speed torque convertor automatic (1.0L variants only) and a 7-speed dual-clutch (1.5L variants only).
