Skoda Auto India commenced its India 2.0 journey with the launch of the Skoda Kushaq compact SUV which is now a year older in the Indian market. To celebrate this occasion, the Czech carmaker has updated the Skoda Kushaq with new features but at a premium. In fact, the Skoda Kushaq is now available with more features than it was launched with. The Skoda Kushaq compact SUV is offered with two turbo petrol engines in both manual and automatic gearbox options and takes on the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Volkswagen Taigun, MG Astor, as well as the upcoming Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder and the recently unveiled Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara.
