Front and rear design
Talking about its design, the look of the new Kushaq and Taigun Facelift will be more attractive than before. The company has paid special attention to their front fascia, where new LED headlamps, re-design grille and updated bumper will be seen. The rear is now set to bring tail lamps in connected design format, which will give the SUV a premium and modern appeal.
The same Side profile will not change much, but will definitely bring the design of new alloy wheels. Anyway, both Kushaq and Taigun are already famous for their solid road presence. Kushaq is known for its butterfly grille and sharp LED lights, while Taigun’s bold front look and horizontally slatted grille make it more sporty.
Interior
If you talk about Interior, you will get more refreshing and premium experience in the 2026 facelift versions. Dashboard layout and ambient lighting will be upgraded so that you feel more openness and class as soon as you sit inside. In addition to the Isle, Upholstery can also see new color themes and materials, which will make the interior more premium than before.
Furthermore, the Kushaq and Taigun might finally get a feature that users have been demanding for a long time: a panoramic sunroof. Until now, both SUVs only offered an electric sunroof, but now this feature, similar to the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Maruti Grand Vitara, could be included.
Safety Features
Both the 2026 Kushaq and Taigun are already strong in terms of Safety, as both of these SUVs have already found 5-star NCAP rating. But now the company can go one step further – Level-2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) feature can be added to these two.
Coming to ADAS will provide facilities such as lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking, making driving not only easier but also safer. In addition, both SUVs already have features such as 6 airbags, Electronic Stability Control, Hill Hold Control, Multi-Collision Brakes, Parking Sensors and Rear-view Camera.
