Skoda Kushaq Explorer: New Features
The vehicle's interior will mirror the standard Kushaq layout but will sport body-coloured dash inserts for added style.
Additionally, it will boast extra features like a 360-degree camera, a head-up display, rear sun blinds, and an upgraded reverse camera with guidelines, surpassing the standard Kushaq Style model.

You'll have the option of a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox.
The Kushaq Explorer is currently being assessed for launch in the market, and it's expected to be priced between 80,000 to 100,000 rupees higher than the Kushaq Style, inclusive of all features.
Verdict
The Kushaq Explorer presents an intriguing concept, marrying sporty aesthetics with off-road capabilities. While it's disappointing that it's not yet destined for production, its features offer a tantalizing glimpse into the future of Skoda's SUV designs.
