The Global NCAP has recently awarded 5 star rating for adult as well as child safety to made-in-India Skoda Kushaq & the VW Taigun. Both SUVs are based on MQB AO IN platform, which was rated stable at the crash test. The new models become the safest made-in-India cars beating the likes of the Mahindra XUV700, Tata Punch and others.
Skoda is hoping that the 5 star crash test rating will further bring customers towards its new breed of cars. During festive season, automakers are also offering attractive discount offers or special editions of their models. Skoda is also preparing to launch the Kushaq’s Anniversary Edition that has been spotted at a dealer stockyard. Skoda is already selling the Special Monte Carlo edition, and Anniversary Edition will be the second special edition joining the lineup.

In terms of features, the Kushaq Anniversary Edition is likely to get LED lighting system, 17-inch alloy wheels, an electric sunroof, a touchscreen infotainment system with wireless connectivity, digital driver display and others.
The Skoda Kushaq is available with two engine options – a 110bhp, 1.0L TSI petrol and a 147bhp, 1.5L TSI petrol.
