The new Skoda name: 'Kushak' originates from the ancient Indian Sanskrit and stands for king or ruler. The spelling with 'K' and 'Q' continues the same nomenclature of the SKODA AUTO SUV models KODIAQ, KAROQ and KAMIQ. Skoda is also planning the world premiere of the first series model based on the MQB-A0-IN, which was specially developed for the Indian market, in March 2021.
With the new Skoda Kushaq SUV, a new era begins for SKODA AUTO on the Indian continent. Skoda is solely qualified for all projects of the Volkswagen Group as part of the INDIA 2.0 project. INDIA 2.0 introduces a new design offensive beginning with the KUSHAQ with a total of four new compact cars from SKODA AUTO and Volkswagen. All are based on the MQB-A0-IN version of the modular platform that Skoda designed specifically for the requirements of the Indian market.
