According to reports, the Skoda Kushaq and Slavia are likely to come with new ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) features. Midsize SUVs such as the Honda Elevate, Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos now come with ADAS. In addition to this, the Honda City and Hyundai Verna which are the competitors also come with ADAS. In this department Skoda is currently behind as both the Kushaq and Slavia do not offer ADAS on its models.

Skoda plans to roll out the updates on the entire MQB-A0-IN platform which underpins the Kushaq and Slavia. In addition to this, the MQB-A0-IN platform will also underpin Skoda’s upcoming compact-SUV. This is also likely to come with ADAS features allowing to brand to not only differentiate its products in terms of driving dynamics but also become highly competitive.
