Design

The Skoda Kushaq borrows quite a lot of its design cues from the Vision IN concept that was showcased by Skoda at the Auto Expo previously. Upfront, it features an aggressive nose surrounded in chrome and housing vertical slats finished in black will make heads turn for sure. The LED headlights look amazing and perfectly complement the aggressive look of the nose. The overall front fascia would look a lot more intimidating and bold in person than in pictures, that is for sure.
