The Skoda Kushaq facelift is shaping up to bring more than just cosmetic updates. Set to debut early next year, the refreshed SUV is expected to introduce a handful of new features, with a rear-seat massage function showcased in a spy shot as a standout first-in-segment addition.
Premium comfort should become more accessible on higher-trim versions, where massaging rear seats are anticipated. In addition to this, buyers can look forward to a panoramic sunroof and revised graphics for the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system. For those interested in advanced driver aids, Level 2 ADAS is likely to be offered on the top-end variants, while some 1.5L TSI models may gain rear disc brakes.
Outside, the 2026 Kushaq will receive subtle styling tweaks. While the split headlamp layout appears to remain, expect a slimmer front grille, redesigned bumpers, and distinctive L-shaped taillights to refresh the SUV’s look.
Under the hood, the facelift will keep the same engine lineup—1.0-litre and 1.5-litre turbo petrol options. Transmission choices are expected to include a 6-speed manual, a 6-speed automatic, and a 7-speed DSG.
