Skoda Kushaq Onyx Edition — Exterior Changes

Skoda have given the Kushaq Onyx Edition a few additional features on the outside to help it stand apart from the base Active variant of the SUV.

In terms of similarities between the Kushaq Ative and Kushaq Onyx Edition, both variants feature black skid plates at the front and back and black roof rails.

The Kushaq Onyx Edition also features a unique decal on the bottom half of the doors and ‘Onyx’ badges on the B-pillar. Unfortunately, the Kusahq Onyx Edition does not get alloy wheels. However, the wheel cover design for the 16-inch steel wheels are different from the ones offered in the base Active variant. At the rear, the Kushaq Onyx Editions gets 2 very useful features that are missing in the Kushaq Active variant — a rear wiper with washer and rear windscreen defogger.
