The Kushaq and Slavia facelift versions are due in 2025 with new features such as ADAS and improved interiors along with cosmetic changes but will come with the same engine options as before.
Skoda India has made public its very latest Kylaq SUV launching into the already full-blown compact SUV segment of India, competing against the likes of Tata Nexon or Mahindra XUV400, even as it has been dealing with health issues. Yet, that did not fade any of Skoda's priority to fill coffers out of the offerings of India like refreshed models next year in 2025, including Kushaq SUV and Slavia.
Between July-September 2025 the Kushaq gets it’s first-ever facelift, which incorporates a new set of headlamps, new bumpers, and a fresh set of alloys. Interior-wise, it promises a new dashboard along with better quality plastic. The Kushaq will become even more feature-rich with promises of Level-2 ADAS and a panoramic sunroof.
In case the 1.0L turbo petrol engine producing 114 bhp and 1.5L turbo petrol engine creating 148 bhp are in the same engine options as before, the existing 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission might get a replacement with a new 8-speed unit to complement the efforts of operating smoother. The 1.5L variant will keep its manual and DCT gearbox options.
Shortly after the Kushaq gets launched, a facelifted version of Slavia sedan will be rolled out by Skoda. Significant enhancements can be expected from both the models as far as competition is concerned in the dynamic Indian automobile market
