The Most FUN Compact SUV Just Got Better | 2026 Skoda Kushaq

The 2026 Skoda Kushaq Facelift is here — and it brings some real changes. We drove both the Manual and the new 8-Speed Torque Converter Automatic (which replaces the old 6-speed) to give you a complete, honest picture of what's changed and whether it's actually worth your money. In this full review, we cover everything — updated exterior styling, the refreshed interior, backseat comfort (yes, it now gets massage seats — but wait till you hear our take on that), performance, ride quality, handling, visibility, and NVH levels. This car has genuinely good driving dynamics, and we tell you exactly why. But we also don't hold back on what it misses. No 360-degree camera. No Level 2 ADAS. No electric tailgate. Features that the competition is now offering as standard. And yes, the ride is a bit firm at city speeds — though that's the same thing that makes it feel so planted in the curves. Is this facelift enough to keep the Kushaq at the top? Watch the full review to find out.
