The design is similar to the concept while top-end versions have 17-inch alloy wheels. The front has the Skoda look with a bigger grille while the rear is more like a crossover. Inside the Kushaq gets a Skoda specific two-spoke steering wheel but also analogue dials which are not digital like its competition. It does have a 10-inch touch screen along with leatherette upholstery and more.

The Kushaq competes with compact SUVs like the Kia Seltos and the Hyundai Creta on one hand while it also somewhat rivals the subcompact class of SUVs like the Maruti Vitara Brezza and the Kia Sonet along with Hyundai Venue and the Tata Nexon. However with the Creta starting at Rs 9.9 lakh, the Kushaq is clearly expensive and it remains to be seen how the market responds to it.
