Skoda is preparing to introduce the updated Kushaq, its first major refresh since debuting in June 2021. The facelifted version, expected in 2026, marks the SUV's midlife upgrade. Recent spy shots reveal the model under heavy camouflage, but one standout detail is the addition of a panoramic sunroof. Here's a look at what the upcoming Skoda Kushaq facelift could bring.
The latest spy shots indicate that the upcoming Skoda Kushaq facelift continues to carry forward the familiar silhouette of the current model, while at the same time hinting at a series of subtle yet noticeable design updates. At the front, the SUV is expected to feature a newly crafted headlight arrangement along with a redesigned grille that should lend it a fresher look.

Moving to the rear, changes are likely to include a revised L-shaped taillight cluster, a reworked bumper design, and possibly a few other tweaks to enhance its overall appeal. Another highlight revealed through the spy images is the presence of a panoramic sunroof, which marks a significant upgrade over the outgoing version. The current Skoda Kushaq, in its higher trims, only offers a single-pane sunroof, making this addition a clear step up in terms of premium features.

While the exact feature list can only be confirmed as the launch of the Kushq facelift gets closer. It is expected to get an updated list of safety features, including Level 2 ADAS with 6-airbags, 360-degree camera, electronic stability control (ESC), ABS & EBD, multi collision braking (MKB), hill hold control, electronic differential lock, traction control system, roll over protection, and more.
The Kushaq facelift will retain current engines: a 1.0-litre turbo (115 hp, 178 Nm) with 6-speed manual/AT, and a 1.5-litre turbo (150 hp, 250 Nm) with 7-speed DSG, later expected to be replaced by an 8-speed AISIN automatic.
