Mladá Boleslav/ Pune, 7 June 2021 – Production of the #kushaq has begun at the ŠKODA #auto Volkswagen #india Private Limited plant in Chakan, Pune, with deliveries to customers scheduled to start in July. The ŠKODA #kushaq is the first series-produced model to be manufactured locally in #india as part of the #india 2.0 project. The #suv is based on the MQB-A0-IN version of the Modular Transverse Toolkit developed specifically for the Indian market. The new #suv combines a bold design with the spaciousness typical of a ŠKODA, a high degree of comfort, extensive safety features, efficient TSI engines and modern infotainment systems.

Thomas Schäfer, CEO of ŠKODA #auto, says: “The start of production of the new ŠKODA #kushaq marks the beginning of a new era for our brand on the Indian subcontinent. ŠKODA #auto is responsible for all the Volkswagen Group’s activities in the region as part of the #india 2.0 project. The #kushaq signals the start of a product campaign with four new models from the ŠKODA and Volkswagen brands. These will be based on the MQB-A0-IN version of the Modular Transverse Toolkit, which was tailored to the specific requirements of the Indian market. I am convinced that the #kushaq will be very well received by customers.”

Gurpratap Boparai, Managing Director of ŠKODA #auto Volkswagen #india Private Limited, added: “The production roll out of the first car under the #india 2.0 project marks a historic milestone for ŠKODA #auto and the Volkswagen Group in #india. It stands testament to a great collaboration between our teams across the globe and here in #india. We have managed to achieve localisation levels up to 95 per cent, which truly puts the engineering and manufacturing expertise of #india on the global map. With ŠKODA #kushaq, we will be present 
in one of the fastest growing segments of the #automotive industry. We look forward to offering customers an #suv that stands out for its emotive design, unmatched performance, superior build quality, outstanding safety, and numerous Simply Clever solutions, enabling an exemplary value proposition.”

ŠKODA #kushaq - powerful and elegant with an Indian touch
The name of the mid-size #suv is derived from Indian Sanskrit. In the millennia-old “language of the gods”, which is still used today, the word “kushak” denotes a king or an emperor. This is a perfect match for the powerful appearance of the new ŠKODA #kushaq. With modern and efficient TSI engines, its striking design, modern infotainment systems, a high level of comfort and safety features as well as the myŠKODA Connect & ŠKODA Play app, the new #suv is optimally primed for the successful launch of the brand’s model campaign on the Indian market
