Variant Line-up Expanded
The 2026 Kushaq facelift will be available in five variants: Classic Plus, Signature, Sportline, Prestige and Monte Carlo.
Notably, the Monte Carlo edition will be introduced at the time of launch. In previous launches, this variant was typically added to the lineup later in the product cycle.
2026 Skoda Kushaq Facelift Exterior Design Updates
The facelift introduces several styling revisions. At the front, the SUV receives a larger butterfly-style grille with chrome accents along with sleeker LED headlamps. A connecting LED light strip runs between the headlights, giving the front end a more modern appearance.
The front bumper has also been redesigned, while the Monte Carlo variant will feature gloss-black exterior elements replacing the chrome finish. Red accents and sportier detailing further differentiate this variant.
From the side, the overall silhouette remains unchanged, though new alloy wheel designs will be introduced. Lower trims will use 16-inch wheels, while higher variants will feature 17-inch units.
At the rear, the Kushaq facelift will get a full-width LED light bar along with illuminated Skoda lettering integrated into the light strip. Sequential turn indicators and a redesigned bumper with a larger silver skid plate are also part of the update.
The refreshed model will be offered in three new exterior colour options: Cherry Red, Shimla Green and Steel Grey.

Inside the cabin, the Kushaq facelift will feature updated upholstery themes including black and beige leatherette for the Prestige variant and a Crimson theme for the Monte Carlo trim.
The SUV will also receive a new two-spoke steering wheel, a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a larger 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. A six-speaker audio system will be part of the package.
Additional features expected on the updated model include a panoramic sunroof, ventilated and powered front seats, automatic climate control and ambient lighting. The rear seats are also expected to offer a massaging function, which the company claims as a segment-first feature.
Updated Powertrain Options
Under the hood, the facelifted Kushaq will continue with the existing turbo-petrol engine options but with changes to the transmission lineup.
The 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol engine produces 114 bhp and 178 Nm of torque. It will now be paired with a six-speed manual gearbox and a new eight-speed AISIN automatic transmission, replacing the earlier six-speed torque converter.
The 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol engine, which develops 148 bhp and 250 Nm of torque, will now be offered exclusively with a seven-speed DSG gearbox.
More details including the final variant-wise pricing are expected to be revealed when Skoda officially announces the 2026 Skoda Kushaq Facelift Prices next month.
