Škoda has introduced a new variant of the popular Kushaq SUV. The new Škoda Kushaq Matte Edition is a limited edition with only 500 units planned. This new variant is priced from INR 16.19 lakh to INR 19.39 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Kushaq now comes with a matte edition pack on this variant. It comes with a carbon steel exterior paint finished in a matte texture. Further, there is gloss black trim on door handles, ORVMs and other elements like the grille.
