Feature-wise, the Kushaq will carry a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic climate control, cruise control, wireless charging, ventilated front seats and more. The new SUV will utilise the MQB AO IN platform and safety features include as many as 6 airbags, ABS with EBD and ESP, Traction Control, TPMS and more. We also believe that the build quality of Skoda Kushaq will be better than the Korean cousins thus giving an edge on the safety of passengers.
