Skoda Auto India has announced prices and the start of customer deliveries for the refreshed and upgraded new Kushaq. Unveiled in January this year, the new Kushaq moves the goalposts when it comes to value, safety, driving dynamics and furthers the brand’s strategy of democratising European technology across the range. With segment-first technologies like an all-new eight-speed torque converter automatic transmission, Rear Seat Massager, and numerous all-new features as well as standard equipment, the new Kushaq 1.0 TSI and new Kushaq 1.5 TSI both follow Skoda Auto India’s strategy of making European engineering and 5-star safety more accessible on Indian roads.
The new Kushaq is available across five trims: Classic+, Signature, Sportline, Prestige and Monte Carlo, offering a choice of turbocharged petrol engines paired with manual and real automatic transmissions. Customers have a choice between eight colours – Candy White, Carbon Steel, Brilliant Silver, Lava Blue, and Deep Black – including three all-new ones: Shimla Green, Steel Grey, and Cherry Red.
