Which 2026 Skoda Kushaq variant should you buy?
Even in the base Classic+ trim, the Kushaq is well-equipped with features like alloy wheels, a touchscreen infotainment, LED lighting, a sunroof, auto AC and 6 airbags. However, if you are looking for a value-for-money variant, we'd recommend the second-from-base Signature trim which offers a great balance between features and price with the 1.0-litre engine option. It offers a larger touchscreen, larger 17-inch alloys, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, wireless charger, while also covering all basic comfort and convenience features. For the more powerful 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine, though, you’ll have to step up to the Prestige trim which has all bells and whistles the Kushaq has to offer.
Prices are ex-showroom, India.
