Skoda has released the first official teaser of the Kushaq facelift, with the updated SUV set to be unveiled next week.
Skoda Kushaq Facelift
What’s changing on the outside
Spy images suggest that most of the design changes are concentrated at the front and rear. The heavily camouflaged test vehicles indicate a revised front fascia, likely featuring a reworked grille, updated bumper design, and tweaked headlights. Similar updates are expected at the rear, including a redesigned bumper, updated tailgate styling, and revised taillights. Skoda is also expected to introduce a new alloy wheel design as part of the update.
More features expected inside
Interior changes are expected to be more substantial compared to the exterior. While the overall dashboard layout is likely to remain unchanged, the Kushaq facelift is expected to gain additional features. Reports point to the possible introduction of ADAS functionality, a 360-degree camera, ventilated front seats, and a new touchscreen infotainment system.
