The Skoda SUV is also already being tested with Skoda India Brnad Director Petr Janeba in a statement saying that the model’s development was “well on track.” The heavily camouflaged testmules have suggested that the new sub-compact SUV will share much of the European design elements of its Skoda siblings including the clean lines and taut surfacing with overall proportions looking to be similar to the Kushaq.
