New Skoda Kushaq facelift interior and features
The Skoda Kushaq facelift doesn’t bring drastic changes to the interior, but there are subtle updates, mainly in colour schemes and finishes. It now comes with Climatronic Auto AC as standard.

The cockpit has been fully upgraded to digital. Higher variants feature a 10.25-inch digital display, while mid-level trims get an 8-inch screen. The infotainment system includes a 10.1-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The cabin also offers dual colour ambient lighting, six-way electric seats with ventilation for the driver and front passenger, six speakers with a subwoofer, auto-dimming IRVMs, rain-sensing wipers, a rear wiper, and rear defoggers, among others.
