Škoda adds ruggedness to its usual restrained style for its new small SUV, the Kushaq
No matter where you go in the world, people love SUVs, so ‘the more the merrier’, Škoda must have thought, as it designed the new Kushaq, despite already offering a B-segment SUV with the Kamiq.
The Kushaq was developed with a lot of input from Škoda’s base in India, as it is primarily intended for markets like India that demand good value for money, compact proportions with a lot of interior room, and ruggedness to back up the SUV looks. There are also no plans to offer it in Europe. As such, the Kushak can be seen as a more straight-laced, rugged alternative to the Kamiq, in the same way that the Ford Ecosport continues to exist alongside the more trendy Puma.
