Skoda Kylaq Deliveries Commence Today: Customers Begin Receiving Their SUVs

Skoda India has commenced deliveries of the Kylaq, its latest offering in the fiercely competitive Indian sub-compact SUV market. This strategic launch aims to solidify Skoda’s presence in the country, building upon the success of the Kushaq and Slavia, which have captured nearly 30% of the Indian passenger vehicle market.

Positioned as a key player in the segment dominated by rivals like the Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, and Maruti Suzuki Brezza, the Kylaq is available in four trim levels, with prices starting at ₹7.89 lakh (ex-showroom). This accessible price point is crucial for Skoda to penetrate Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, expanding its customer base beyond the traditional metropolitan markets.

Distinct Design and Spacious Interior

The Kylaq boasts a distinctive design with a bold front grille, LED DRLs, and a unique headlamp cluster. Available in a range of vibrant colors, including the striking Olive Gold, the SUV offers a stylish presence. Its compact dimensions (3,995mm length, 1,783mm width, 1,619mm height) belie a spacious interior with a 446-liter boot that can be expanded to 1,265 liters.

Feature-Rich and Well-Equipped

The Kylaq comes well-equipped with a host of features, depending on the chosen trim. Highlights include a large touchscreen infotainment system with wireless smartphone connectivity, automatic climate control, a digital driver’s display, powered and ventilated front seats, a wireless charger, TPMS, a sunroof, and standard six airbags.

Powerful and Efficient Engine Options

Powering the Kylaq is a 1.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine, delivering 114 bhp and 178 Nm of torque. This engine, shared with the Kushaq and Slavia, is paired with a six-speed manual gearbox or an optional torque converter automatic transmission.

A Strong Contender in a Competitive Market

The Kylaq’s entry into the sub-compact SUV segment positions Skoda as a strong contender in this highly competitive market. With its stylish design, feature-rich interior, and efficient powertrain, the Kylaq is poised to attract a new wave of customers and further solidify Skoda’s presence in the Indian automotive landscape.
