The 2021 Skoda Kushaq will be available with two powertrains that include a 1.0-litre TSI petrol engine and a 1.5-litre TSI petrol engine. The former is capable of producing 109bhp and 175Nm of torque, while the latter produces 148bhp and 250Nm of torque. A six-speed manual unit is offered as standard while a six-speed automatic unit and a seven-speed DSG automatic unit will be available with the 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre variants respectively.

Based on the MQB-A0-IN platform, the Skoda Kushaq was unveiled back in March 2021. The model will be offered in five colours and three trims, details of which can be read here. The company will launch the Kushaq next month, with deliveries slated to begin in July 2021.
