Skoda Kushaq and Slavia Facelifts: Level 2 ADAS Tech

Many midsize sedans and SUVs such as the Honda City and Hyundai Creta Facelift already have Level 2 Autonomous Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).

At present, Skoda's midsize models don't have this feature. However, the brand is working on fixing this. It is said that the automaker is expected to introduce ADAS 2.0 gradually with the upcoming facelifts for their cars based on the MQB A0-IN platform.

This also means the New Skoda compact SUV, will likely come equipped with an ADAS suite. This move ensures that the models will not lag behind competitors like Hyundai Venue and Kia Sonet, which already offer this technology in their compact SUVs.

Skoda Kushaq and Slavia: Feature Updates
