2021 Skoda Kushaq breaks cover during a world premiere held in Mumbai.

Celebrating its 20th year in India, Skoda has unveiled its latest offering - the 2021 Kushaq SUV - in Mumbai today during a global premiere. The SUV is the production version of the Skoda VISION IN concept SUV the carmaker showcased at the Auto Expo last year.

As part of its India 2.0 Project, Skoda aims to ride high on this brand new model. The Skoda Kushaq SUV is based on the MQB-A0-IN platform. Skoda's facility in Chakan has been upgraded for this purpose to use the new platform and manufacture vehicles. This is the same platform that will be used for Volkswagen's upcoming Taigun SUV which is a technical twin to Skoda's Kushaq SUV.
