Skoda India has finally taken the wraps off its upcoming Kushaq mid-size SUV that will be positioned against the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. The carmaker has revealed that the model will see a release in coming weeks.

The production-ready Kushaq shares a strong resemblance to the Skoda Vision IN concept that broke cover at the 2020 Auto Expo. Interestingly, it’s the first Skoda car to be based on the India-specific MQB A0 IN platform and roll out under the brand’s India 2.0 Project.
