The 2026 facelift brings subtle styling changes to the Skoda Kushaq. Updates to the design of the Skoda Kushaq facelift come in the form of a wider grille, new bumpers at both ends and revamped LED headlamps, along with new alloy wheel designs and the new lightbar-style taillamps that have the Skoda lettering in them. Some higher-spec variants also include an illuminated version of the new grille.
The Kushaq facelift also adds quite a few new features, including a panoramic sunroof, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment screen with an AI voice assistant and rear seats with a massage function, a segment-first feature. The front seats continue to be powered and ventilated.
The facelifted Skoda Kushaq SUV continues with standard safety features such as 6 airbags, all-wheel disc brakes (1.5-litre TSI engine only), electronic stability control, hill hold assist, front and rear parking sensors, rear view camera and a tyre pressure monitoring system.

Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India, said, "At Škoda Auto India, our focus is on democratising European technology and making it accessible to a wider set of customers. With the new Kushaq, we truly redefine value across the range. The new Kushaq leads the way through competitive value pricing across variants, enhanced standard safety features and all-round performance. Segment-first additions such as the eight-speed automatic gearbox, Rear Seat Massager, and standardisation of essential features provide fantastic value right from the entry variant. Class-leading safety, unmatched driving dynamics and pride of ownership come standard with the new Kushaq, as with every Škoda."

The Skoda Kushaq competes in the mid-size SUV segment and rivals the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Grand Vitara & Victoris, Kia Seltos, Renault Duster, Volkswagen Taigun and Tata Sierra.
