KING OF THE SUV HILL

Or at least that’s what the new Skoda Kushaq wants to be. Does it have the wherewithal to do so?

KING OF THE SUV HILL

Well, that was a first. After an astounding 11 months without attending any kind of automotive media drive (thanks for nothing, COVID), I found myself in southern Goa, at the wheel of Skoda’s soon-to-be-launched compact SUV — and I didn’t know what the car looked like. I could tell that its lines were sharp and that it had a sporty profile, but other than that I couldn’t discern much about its design, because it was lavishly covered in an orange-and-black camouflage scheme that looked a bit like Aboriginal art. Even if I had been able to get a sense of what the designers had done, I wouldn’t have been able to reveal that here because Skoda has rather strictly embargoed any such details until the car’s global reveal in March. What I can say is that if the Vision IN concept that was displayed at the Auto Expo last year is any indication, the production version should be a slick looker. What I can also say is that I hope I don’t have to drive a pre-production prototype (from any brand) for a full story again. It’s… weird, having to think of things to say about things that haven’t been fully revealed to you.
