According to new spy images that have surfaced online, Skoda is gearing up to launch a new limited edition variant of the Kushaq SUV. This version could be called as the Xpedition Edition and is expected to come with a host of accessories.
What’s new in the Skoda Kushaq Xpedition Edition?
In terms of visual changes, the SUV comes with a few cosmetic differences compared to the standard car. These include ‘Xpedition’ badges on the front fenders, an all-black front grille, smoked headlamps and fog lamps as well a black body kit. The Kushaq Xpedition Edition was seen in body graphics on both the doors as well as black wrap on the C-pillars and the roof. There was also a roof rack on the car. Coming to the alloys, the SUV pictured had gloss black painted rims with orange highlights.
Coming to the insides, it is said that the Kushaq Xpedition edition will get features like a 360-degree camera, ventilated front seats and a new 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The SUV will also get 6 airbags.
Powertrain of the Skoda Kushaq Xpedition Edition
Skoda is likely to offer the existing choice of engine with the Kushaq Xpedition Edition. There include a 1.0-litre turbo petrol rated at 113 BHP and 178 Nm and a 1.5-litre turbo petrol that develops 148 BHP and 250 Nm. The 1.0 unit is offered with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic gearbox while the 1.5-litre one is supplied with only the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
India 2.0 Project
2023 will mark 2-years of Skoda VW’s MQB A0 IN-based cars in India. As we understand, the company is looking for some updates for their respective products next year. The VW Group’s India-specific MQB platform made its debut with the Skoda Kushaq.
With the induction of the India 2.0 project, VW Group has been in the news for good reasons. Both Volkswagen and Skoda reported an overwhelming response to their newly launched products. In fact, Skoda is all set to celebrate 2022 as its best year with the highest sales volume. All of these are possible because of the visible changes under the new identity of India 2.0. The future looks quite promising for both brands as we await more new products in the future.
