News & Top Stories- We were able to get a better look at the subcompact SUV‘s tail light cluster in the most recent spy photo.
- Given that the vehicle was observed with steel wheels covered in black, it seems to be a lower-spec version.
- Highlight features can be a sunroof, ventilated front seats, and a 10-inch touchscreen.
- It is expected to be equipped with a rear parking camera, electronic stability control (ESC), and six airbags for safety.
- Most likely to come with a 6-speed MT or 6-speed AT transmission and a 1-liter turbo-petrol engine choice.
- By 2025, it is anticipated to go on sale in India for Rs 8.50 lakh (ex-showroom).
One of the next nameplates the automaker plans to launch in India is the Skoda sub-4m SUV, which is anticipated to happen in 2025. The same MQB-A0-IN platform that powers the Skoda Slavia and Kushaq will serve as its foundation. Here’s what we noticed when we just met the forthcoming subcompact SUV test mule again.
A Lookalike Of Kushaq
According to the most recent spy photos, the subcompact SUV would resemble the current Kushaq SUV in terms of shape and design. Even with its extensive disguise, the test mule’s split headlights and LED DRLs are discernible in these most lucid spy photos to date. The small SUV from Skoda has the same butterfly Skoda grille as the Kushaq.
The subcompact SUV test mule was equipped with steel wheels covered in black wheel covers. We also got a chance to take a close look at the Skoda subcompact SUV’s LED tail lights, which resemble those on the Kushaq.
Cabin & Attributes
We haven’t had a chance to take a look inside the Skoda subcompact SUV, but we think the steering wheel and infotainment system are the same as those of the Kushaq. It is anticipated to be equipped with a sunroof, automated air conditioning, ventilated front seats, a fully digital driver display, and a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
Six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), a 360-degree camera, and a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) can be included in its safety equipment.
Most Likely To Receive Only One Engine Choice
Only a 1-liter turbo-petrol engine, which is presently available with the Kushaq and Slavia, was allowed for Skoda’s subcompact SUV. With a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual transmission, this engine produces 115 PS and 178 Nm.
Anticipated Cost & Competitors
Early in 2025, the Skoda sub-4m SUV is anticipated to go on sale in India, with costs starting at approximately Rs 8.50 lakh (ex-showroom). Along with the Maruti Fronx and Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor sub-4m crossovers, it will compete with the Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue, Renault Kiger, and Nissan Magnite.
