The long-awaited 2026 Skoda Kushaq facelift will finally go on sale in the Indian market on March 21. The updated model comes with Kodiaq-inspired design changes along with an upgraded cabin with longer list of features. While the engine options remain the same, the SUV now gets a new 8-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. Interested customers can pre-book the new Kushaq online or at authorised Skoda dealerships by paying a token amount of Rs 15,000.

The 2026 Skoda Kushaq facelift is available with two turbo petrol engines, including a 1.0L, 3-cylinder and a 1.5L TSI. While the former is good for 114hp and 178Nm, the 4-cylinder turbo unit produces 150hp and 250Nm of torque. Instead of a 6-speed torque converter automatic unit, the 1.0L TSI version gets an 8-speed automatic unit. Other gearbox options include a 6-speed manual and a 7-speed DSG (1.5L Only).
