The Skoda Kylaq is the most affordable offering from the Czech automaker in India, launched recently in the subcompact SUV space. The Kylaq is based on the same MQB A0-IN platform which also underpins the Kushaq, but since it’s under 4 metres length, it sits lower than the Kushaq. The prices for the Kylaq have already been announced, and now, Skoda has also started the production for the same in its Pune-based Chakan manufacturing facility. 

In order to improve turnaround time, the automaker has not only expanded its supplier base in India by 10 percent, but also increased its annual production capacity to 30 percent, i.e., to 2,55,000 units. The Kylaq is set to arrive at dealerships near you by January 27, 2025.

Skoda opened the order books for the Kylaq SUV on December 2, and within the first 10 days, it received over 10,000 reservations. Commenting on the same, Petr Janeba, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India said, "10 days and 10,000 bookings, without a car in the showroom! For us, Kylaq is a completely new car, in a completely new sub-4m SUV segment. These 10,000 bookings have come without any possibility for customers to experience Kylaq, which reflects the unmatchable trust in the škoda brand, and we are extremely humbled. We are confident that Kylaq will democratise European technology on Indian roads.”
