The Kylaq, which starts at around ₹7,89,000 (Ex-Showroom), markets itself as a feature-rich yet affordable addition to Skoda's portfolio.

Bookings for Skoda Auto India's eagerly awaited SUV, the Skoda Kylaq, have officially launched as of today, December 2, 2024. The Kylaq, which was first introduced on November 6, is Skoda's bold foray into India's cutthroat sub-4-meter SUV market.

In February of this year, the Skoda Kylaq was unveiled, indicating the company's intention to increase its market share in India. The SUV debuted globally last month after a camouflaged prototype was teased in October, and reservations are already being accepted.

The Kylaq is a key model for the Indian market, according to Klaus Zellmer, CEO of Skoda Auto: "The Skoda Kylaq is our first sub-4-meter SUV, designed in India for India." India, the third-largest automobile market in the world, is essential to our expansion strategies. The Kylaq is revolutionary in this market thanks to its vast feature set and Modern Solid design language.

The Kylaq seeks to meet the rising demand for small, feature-rich SUVs, as SUVs make up 50% of car sales in India. It was created especially for the Indian market and is a formidable competitor in its field since it combines affordability with cutting-edge functionality.
