The upcoming Skoda Kushaq facelift has been spotted once again, indicating that its market debut is drawing closer. The latest test mules, finished in white and red, were seen on public roads sporting heavy camouflage at the front and rear.
The biggest visual change in this sighting is the new alloy wheel design — finished in a dark gunmetal shade. Although Skoda hasn’t confirmed the exact size, these could either be the current 17-inch wheels or larger 18-inch alloys, hinting at variant-specific styling. Previous sightings showcased different wheel patterns, likely belonging to mid-spec trims.
The facelifted Kushaq is expected to bring several exterior design updates, including connected LED tail lamps, a revised headlamp cluster, and redesigned bumpers, aligning the SUV more closely with Skoda’s global design language.
Inside, the cabin is likely to undergo a notable upgrade with a larger panoramic sunroof, a new infotainment system, and additional comfort features to enhance the in-cabin experience.
Mechanically, Skoda is expected to retain the current powertrain options, which include a 1.0-litre TSI turbo-petrol engine paired with manual and automatic transmissions, and a 1.5-litre TSI unit mated to a manual and seven-speed DSG gearbox.
Set for launch in early 2026, the refreshed Kushaq will continue to rival Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, MG Astor, Maruti Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder, and Honda Elevate, aiming to strengthen Skoda’s presence in the compact SUV segment.
