A roof-mounted spoiler, a shark fin antenna, and wrap-around LED taillights are present on the rear section.
The car is offered with two petrol engine choices
The SKODA KUSHAQ is available with a BS6-compliant 1.0-liter TSI petrol engine that makes 114hp/178Nm and a 1.5-liter TSI petrol motor that generates 148hp/250Nm. Transmission duties are handled by a 6-speed manual, a 6-speed automatic, and a 7-speed DSG gearbox.
