The SUV segment in India is evolving rapidly. Today’s drivers want more than just space and power; they want advanced safety, intelligent technology, premium comfort, and effortless ownership.
The new Škoda Kushaq 2026 delivers exactly that. With first-in-segment innovations, a powerful TSI engine lineup, enhanced design language, and class-leading safety, the new Kushaq is built for those who expect more from every drive.
Easy to Flaunt
The new Kushaq's front end makes an immediate, unmistakable statement. The bold front grille now carries an illuminated light band flanked by sharp LED headlamps — a signature that turns heads on any road, day or night. Sporty red stripes accent the grille on the Monte Carlo variant, adding an athletic personality that backs up the badge.
At the rear, LED taillights with sequential turn indicators are connected by illuminated 'Škoda' lettering spelled out across the tailgate. LED fog lamps and front parking sensors complete the picture. R17 alloy wheels with sporty red brake calipers on Monte Carlo add the finishing touch.
Eight exterior colours are available across the range five in dual tone with three entirely new shades joining the palette: Shimla Green, Cherry Red, and Steel Grey. The dual-tone exterior theme carries beautifully into the cabin with matching interior colour accents throughout.
Setting New Standards
First-in-Segment:
• 8-Speed Torque Converter Automatic Transmission
• Rear Seat Massager
• AI Companion App powered by Google
Best-in-Segment:
• Sunroof standard across all variants
• Rain Sensing Wiper, Rear Wiper & Defogger
• Alloy Wheels across all variants
Easy to Drive
The new Kushaq offers one of the most complete engine and gearbox line-ups in its segment. The headline act is a first-in-segment 8-speed torque converter automatic paired with the 1.0 TSI engine delivering smoother, more refined automatic driving than anything this class has offered before. Performance buyers can step up to the 1.5 TSI with a 7-speed DSG for rapid, sporty shifts. And for those who love the connection of a manual, a 6-speed manual on the 1.0 TSI remains a satisfying, efficient choice.
• 8-Speed Torque Converter — paired with 1.0 TSI
• 7-Speed DSG — paired with 1.5 TSI
• 6-Speed Manual — paired with 1.0 TSI
Easy on the Experience
Inside, the cabin is rich with technology and comfort features that genuinely elevate every journey. The 25.6 cm touchscreen runs a first-in-segment AI companion app powered by Google. The 26.03 cm digital cockpit displays turn-by-turn navigation clearly and intuitively. Sunroofs are now standard on every single variant — a single-pane electric unit on Classic+ through Sportline, stepping up to a best-in-segment panoramic sunroof on Prestige and Monte Carlo.
The first-in-segment rear seat massager adds a genuinely luxurious touch. Up front, 6-way electrically adjustable seats with ventilation for both driver and co-driver ensure everyone stays fresh on long drives. Climatronic automatic climate control comes standard on every variant.
Easy to Trust
Škoda's safety credentials with the Kushaq are unmatched in its class. The new Kushaq holds the title of India's Safest Family Car with a 5-star Global NCAP rating covering both adult and child occupant protection. Six airbags are standard across every single variant — no exceptions, no upgrade required. Classic+ and Signature trims deliver 25+ active and passive safety features, while Prestige and Monte Carlo push this to an impressive 40+ for total confidence on any road.
