Five years after its initial launch, Skoda has redefined the compact SUV segment in Asia with the mid-life upgrade of the Kushaq.

The Skoda Kushaq 2026 exterior impresses with subtle yet impactful refinements. The redesigned front grille features an illuminated trim, exuding a youthful and modern vibe. The new headlight graphics, paired with slimmer daytime running lights and a larger central air intake on the bumper, create a bold and aggressive stance.

At the rear, the full-width LED taillights with the illuminated “Skoda” logo not only enhance brand recognition but also elevate the premium feel compared to its predecessor.

The standout feature of the Skoda Kushaq 2026 is the introduction of rear-seat massage functionality—a luxury typically reserved for high-end sedans.

Inside, Skoda focuses on both comfort and technology. The 10.1-inch infotainment system now integrates Google Gemini AI for intuitive voice interaction, while the 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster delivers sharper visuals. The enlarged panoramic sunroof caters to those seeking an airy, upscale experience.

Built on the familiar MQB-A0-IN platform, the Skoda Kushaq 2026 introduces significant performance upgrades. The 1.0 TSI engine (115 hp) now pairs with an 8-speed automatic transmission, replacing the previous 6-speed unit for smoother efficiency. The 1.5 TSI variant (150 hp) gains four-wheel disc brakes and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, enhancing high-speed control and safety.

Skoda also introduces the sporty Monte Carlo variant for enthusiasts.

While official pricing remains undisclosed, estimates place the Kushaq 2026 between $11,700 and $20,300. By blending segment-leading comfort with cutting-edge AI technology, the Skoda Kushaq 2026 sets a new benchmark, compelling competitors to rethink their approach to compact SUVs.
