Skoda has given the Kushaq another update for 2022. The carmaker has introduced a new variant — Style NSR — which sits just below the top-spec Style variant. While it misses out on a few features, the Kushaq range as a whole, gets some additional equipment.
The ‘NSR’ in its name stands for ‘Non Sunroof’. Skoda has deleted rain-sensing wipers and the auto-dimming interior rear-view mirror in this new variant. It also gets a smaller 15-inch spare wheel, instead of the larger 16-inch unit. However, the lack of a sunroof means the Style NSR has space for a sunglass holder, which the top-end model misses. The new trim is available only with the 1.0 TSI motor mated to the 6-speed manual transmission, and at ₹ 15.09 lakh (ex-showroom, India), it costs ₹ 20,000 less than the equivalent Style variant.
Meanwhile, Skoda has introduced more features as standard on the Kushaq range. The midsize SUV now gets the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) from the base variant, while the Style gets a new roof liner and a full-digital instrument cluster. Prices for the Kushaq remain unchanged, at ₹ 11.29 lakh for the base 1.0 TSI Active variant and going up to ₹ 18.79 lakh for the top-end 1.5 TSI Style AT. The updated Kushaq is expected to hit showrooms by the end of this month.
