It has a two-slate design, where the front bumper gets horizontally slat wide air vents. It also houses tows separate elements that also house the LED compartment. The same also doubles up with fog lights in the top-spec trim.
The new Skoda Karoq will increase in dimensions as well. It will be bigger than the Kushaq. The big wheels as depicted in the sketches are a bit of a stretch. But in the real world, it might get 17 or 18 wheels. The Skoda Kushaq in India gets 16-17 wheels with 6-6.5 width.
Similarly, the rear fascia also justifies the aggressive front. Theres a significant long rear spoiler. The taillights are redesigned as well, and the rear bumper gets a black body diffuser, and along with the faux exhaust outlets, gives the Karoq an appealing after taste.
