Skoda Kushaq Production Begins | V3Cars
Skoda has started the production of the Kuhsaq SUV ahead of its launch. Skoda is expected to launch the Kushaq SUV by the end of this month with test drives and deliveries to get underway from July 2021.
Skoda has already unveiled the Kushaq SUV. So, let’s take a look at what we know about the SUV so far. Based on the MQB A0 IN platform, the Kushaq is 4225mm long, 1760mm wide and 1612mm tall. It has a wheelbase of 2651mm which is not only bigger than its rivals like the Creta and Seltos (2610mm) but also bigger than the now-discontinued Karoq SUV (2638mm). The Kushaq has a ground clearance of 188m and a boot space of 385 litres which can be further expanded to 1405 litres by folding the 60:40 split rear seats.
Under the hood, the SUV will be offered with two turbo petrol engines including a 1.0-litre TSI turbo petrol engine making 115PS and 175Nm mated to a 6-speed MT and a 6-speed AT. The other engine on offer will be a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine making 150PS and 250Nm mated to either a 6-speed MT or a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic.
