Look and Design:
This new compact SUV from Skoda will basically be based on the (MQB A0-IN) platform, which is the backbone of both Skoda and Volkswagen. Kushaq and Slavia have also been built on this platform. It is being given split headlamp, squared-off tail-lights, butterfly front grille. LED projector headlamp is provided at the bottom. However, its front grille is slightly thinner than that of Kushaq. But it leaves no stone unturned in improving its front look. Clear crease lines have been given on the bonnet. While an aluminum spoiler at the bottom gives it a slightly contrasting look.
