Skoda had revealed the name of its subcompact SUV in August, and now the Czech automaker has also confirmed that the Kylaq will make its global debut on November 6, 2024. Here’s what to expect from the all new upcoming Skoda car in India.

Kushaq Inspired Design

Although the Skoda Kylaq will be a sub-4m SUV, it will borrow many design cues from its larger sibling, the Kushaq. Based on some teasers and a few spy shots, the grille and side window line will resemble that of the Kushaq. However, the Kylaq will have a new split LED lighting setup, with the headlights positioned below the LED DRLs. At the rear, it will get inverted L-shaped LED tail lights.

Skoda has yet not shown us how the Kylaq will look from the inside, but we believe that the dashboard layout will be similar to that of the Kushaq and Slavia.
