Cabin Tech and Comfort Features
Let me tell you that in the new Kushaq Facelift 2026, the company made the cabin more luxury and tech-centric. It will now feature features such as a large touchscreen infotainment system, new digital driver display, improved sound system and panoramic sunroof.
Skoda has already given many premium features in the small SUV Kylaq, so now the company has added more advanced tech to position Kushaq above it. This means that this car will now be smarter, premium and feature-rich than before.
Level-2 ADAS
The biggest change in this new Facelift will be the addition of Level-2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System). If this feature was given at launch, Kushaq would be Skoda’s first SUV in India to receive advanced safety tech.
In addition, the ADAS package will include features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking. This would make Kushaq now stand upright against SUVs such as Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, MG Astor and Honda Elevate.
Safety
Skoda Kushaq is already known for its safety rating. In the year 2021, it was the first SUV to get 5-Star Safety Rating in the new strict test of Global NCAP. It already gets 6 Airbags, ESC, Hill Hold Control and features like the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System.
