The Production-spec of the Skoda Kushaq is based on the MQB-A0-IN platform, and the exterior of the car is pretty much similar to the Vision IN concept.

Its long wheelbase of 2,651mm –which is among the longest in the segment –and a ground clearance of 188mm makes it appears much larger than it actually is.

Skoda will offer five color options – Candy White, Brilliant Silver, Carbon Steel, Honey Orange, Tornedo Red.

The MQB version is specially adapted for India, the MQB-A0-IN platform gives this car liberty to equip itself with advanced and efficient TSI engines. Thanks to their low fuel consumption, the direct-injection petrol engines enable long ranges. The entry-level 1.0 TSI produces 85kW (115PS) from its displacement of one liter. Power is transmitted to the front wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed automatic transmission.
