It will also offer Live-streaming of music and audio podcasts via SIM-based internet access, along with in-car Wi-Fi.

The Skoda Kushaq is built on the same platform as the Volkswagen Taigun.

Both, Skoda Kushaq and Volkswagen Taigun are expected to go on sale this summer and essentially are identical models. Both SUVs will be underpinned by the same MQB AO-IN platform and will have around 95 per cent localisation. Now the design and cabin of both models are different, but it'll sport the same touchscreen units. Both compact SUVs will rival the likes of the Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta and even MG Hector which are already equipped with advanced touchscreen units and connectivity tech.
