Sharing its foundation with the existing Kushaq and Slavia models, the new SUV will feature a 1.0-liter TSI petrol engine. It will offer both manual and automatic transmission options.
Targeting hatchback and sedan users
SKODA's new SUV will be aimed at hatchback and sedan users. It will have a split LED headlight design with LED DRLs, a tall hood with ridges, chunky wheel arches, and roof rails in its front section.
