4 Upcoming Affordable Skodas Of 2026 With Prices Starting From Rs. 10 Lakh
The Czech carmaker Skoda is known for making some of the highest quality vehicles, and due to this, they are slightly expensive. However, if you are someone who wants to own a Skoda but doesn't want to pay a lot of money, then this list is for you. Here are the details of the four upcoming Skoda cars that will start at Rs 10 lakh. So without any delay, let's jump right into the details.
One of the most successful vehicles in the Skoda lineup is the Kushaq mid-size SUV. Recently, the company unveiled its facelifted iteration, and it has been reported that it will be launched later this month. Pricing of the Kushaq currently starts at Rs 10.66 lakh, and due to the recent GST revisions, the upcoming facelifted iteration is also expected to start around the same price range.
The new Skoda Kushaq facelift has been given a ton of updates, including a new front fascia with sleeker LED headlights, an illuminated light bar, a more sporty and aggressive front bumper, new alloy wheels, and a new connected LED taillight. On the inside, it will come equipped with a larger 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, new upholstery, and segment-first rear massaging seats, along with others.
Powertrain-wise, the new Kushaq facelift will get the same 1.0-litre TSI turbo petrol engine, which makes 115 PS of power and 178 Nm of torque. However, this time around, it will not be getting a 6-speed torque converter automatic; instead, it will come with an 8-speed AISIN automatic gearbox. The 6-speed manual will be standard. As for the 1.5-litre TSI turbo petrol, which makes 150 PS and 250 Nm of torque, it will now only get the 7-speed DSG gearbox and no manual option.
Expected to make its debut around the festive season of 2026, which is around October, the Skoda Slavia facelift test mules have also started surfacing on public roads. As for the pricing, the new iteration of this popular sedan will also start around Rs 10 lakh. Currently, the Slavia starts at Rs 9.99 lakh.
In terms of the changes, the Slavia, like the Kushaq, will be getting a new front fascia, which will be much sleeker and sharper. It will also boast a connected LED DRL and new slimmer LED headlights. The overall profile will remain the same but will get new alloy wheels. As for the rear, illuminated Skoda lettering, new LED taillights, and a new rear bumper design are expected. Powertrain options of the new Slavia facelift will remain the same as the Kushaq facelift.
Another Skoda product that will be priced around the Rs 10 lakh mark will be the Skoda Kylaq with the new 8-speed AISIN torque converter automatic gearbox. Currently, the Kylaq is offered with the 1.0-litre TSI turbo petrol engine that produces 115 PS and 178 Nm of torque, and it gets the 6-speed manual and 6-speed torque converter automatic options. However, like its siblings, it will also be getting the new 8-speed AT gearbox. It is expected to make its debut in the second half of this year.
In order to take on the popular CNG sub-compact SUVs such as the Tata Nexon iCNG, Maruti Suzuki Brezza CNG, and others, Skoda is also planning to launch its new model, the Kylaq CNG, in India. It will most likely be a dealer-fitted and OEM-approved CNG kit and will come with a company warranty. The exact CNG kit setup or the power figures of this upcoming model have not been revealed. However, most likely it will make 100 PS and only be offered with the 6-speed manual gearbox. The CNG version of the Kylaq could start around Rs 9.5–10 lakh.
