Rear Massage Seats in a Kushaq!

​We just checked out the 2026 Skoda Kushaq facelift. Here is the breakdown of what has changed:

​The Big Updates:
✅ New Gearbox: 8-Speed Torque Converter for the 1.0L engine.
✅ Luxury Touch: Massage function for rear seats (Monte Carlo & Prestige).
✅ Visuals: Illuminated rear lettering, connected DRL strip, and new 17-inch alloys.
✅ Tech: Panoramic and updated infotainment and instrument displays.

​The Monte Carlo trim (pictured) continues to look aggressive with blacked-out bits, red calipers, and red interior accents.

​Which new color would you pick? Shimla Green, Cherry Red, or Steel Grey?
