Skoda Kylaq Deliveries Commence: Variants Explained
Skoda launched its first-ever sub-4 meter SUV in the Indian market last year. While the official launch had occurred, the sub-4 meter SUV was yet to reach dealerships. We got a chance to drive the new Kylaq on the roads of Goa recently, and a detailed review of the same is available on our YouTube channel. The Kylaq has finally started arriving at dealerships, and deliveries for it have also begun across India.
Petr Janeba, Brand Director, Skoda Auto India, said, “The Kylaq has officially arrived and is set to drive Skoda’s growth trajectory in India over the coming years. Its availability from today marks a new era for Skoda Auto India. It combines safety, exceptional driving dynamics, and segment-leading features. Following the success of the Kushaq and Slavia, the Kylaq continues our India-focused product strategy, helping us tap into new markets and bring even more customers into the Skoda family. With its accessible pricing, we can say the Kylaq truly democratizes European technology on Indian roads.”
