Skoda has introduced the Kushaq Onyx edition automatic at an ex-showroom price of Rs. 13.49 lakh in India. This special variant brings additional features from higher trims, enhancing its appeal. Here are the top five highlights of the Kushaq Onyx edition.
1. LED Lamps
Unlike the entry-level trims that come with conventional headlamps, the Onyx edition features advanced LED headlamps complete with DRLs and cornering fog lamps. This upgrade not only improves visibility but also adds a touch of sophistication to the vehicle’s exterior.
2. Tecton Wheel Cover
Instead of alloy wheels, the Kushaq Onyx edition is equipped with steel rims adorned with Tecton wheel covers. This distinctive design element sets the Onyx edition apart from the top-spec variants, giving it a unique identity.
3. Onyx Badging
The Onyx edition features minimal yet distinct exterior differentiation. An Onyx badge is prominently displayed on the rear door’s window frame, and there is an optional decal on the side. Inside the vehicle, the door sill plates, floor mats, and cushions are all branded with the Onyx logo, enhancing the exclusive feel of this edition.
4. Automatic Climate Control with Touch Panel
One of the standout features of the Onyx edition is the inclusion of a touch panel for the automatic climate control system. This advanced feature is absent in the lower variants, making the Onyx edition a more attractive option for buyers seeking enhanced comfort and convenience.
5. Features from the Higher Ambition Trim
The Kushaq Onyx edition also incorporates several features from the higher-spec Ambition variant. These include paddle shifters, hill hold control, and a rear wiper with a defogger. These additions provide improved driving dynamics and safety, making the Onyx edition a well-rounded package.
Powertrain Options for the Kushaq Onyx Edition
Initially introduced last year, the Onyx edition was available only with a 1.0-litre TSI engine paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. This engine produces 114bhp and 178Nm of torque. The new variant continues with the same petrol engine but now offers the convenience of a six-speed automatic gearbox as well, broadening its appeal to a wider range of customers.
Conclusion
The Skoda Kushaq Onyx edition automatic, priced at Rs. 13.49 lakh (ex-showroom), stands out with its advanced features borrowed from higher variants and unique design elements. From LED lamps and a touch panel climate control to features from the Ambition trim and distinctive badging, the Onyx edition offers a compelling mix of style, comfort, and performance. With the addition of an automatic transmission to its already impressive powertrain, the Kushaq Onyx edition is set to attract a diverse set of buyers looking for a feature-rich and distinctive compact SUV.
