Skoda is gearing up to introduce its sub-four-metre SUV Kylaq in India soon. Slated to go on sale in 2025, the SUV is preparing to break cover on November 6. The Skoda Kylaq will be the automaker’s effort to grab a chunk of the high-in-demand sub-compact SUV segment in the Indian passenger vehicle market, where it will compete with rivals such as Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Maruti Suzuki Brezza and Hyundai Venue among others.
Skoda has been focusing on SUVs heavily as part of its India 2.0 strategy. The Kodiaq and Kushaq are already on offer from the brand and Kylaq will be a key part of that strategy. Skoda claims the Kylaq nomenclature is inspired by Mount Kailash and from the Sanskrit word for crystal, paying homage to India.
Here are all the key facts we know so far about Skoda Kylaq.
Skoda Kylaq: Third product based on MQB-A0-IN platform
Skoda Kylaq is going to be the third all-new car for the Indian market, built on the automaker’s MQB-A0-IN platform, which is a cheaper derivative of the Volkswagen Group’s MQB modular architecture.
