The Skoda Kushaq will be celebrating its first anniversary next month. However, we can now confirm that work on the facelift version is already underway. We've learnt that all upcoming Skoda SUVs will get a completely new split headlamp design.



We've been told that Skoda is currently working on multiple headlamp design concepts. What's common between these is the vertical headlamp setup with dual LEDs - one for low beam and the other for high beam. The latter also features an integrated fog lamp and cornering light.

Besides the main headlamp cluster consisting of dual LEDs, the cars will also have a horizontal LED daytime running light / turn indicator / parking light on the top.



The Ambition and Style variants are expected to get these upgrades, while the Active trim will get a simpler set up, albeit based on the same split headlamp concept.

Is this related to their upcoming 'Modern Solid' design language (Autocar: Skoda to launch new brand identity in September), and will this not extend to the sedans? They say it's radical, I hope they don't pull off a Hyundai or BMW here. Design is a major selling point for Skodas.

Great scoop! They will look very smart on the Kushaq & Kodiaq. The way they're planning is:

DRL (strip on top)
Low beam
High beam

The last time Skoda did the split headlamps was with the 3rd-gen Octavia. I didn't like it at first, but eventually grew to love it.

This is surely taken from Tata Harrier. Good to see global brands following our home brand Tata. Harrier looks much better though, looks true SUV. This copy of Skoda not looking that good, may be due to weird color.
