Skoda says that the new Kylaq has been tested across more than 800,000 kilometres of Indian terrain, proudly stating that it is equivalent to the distance between Earth and the moon. What this means for Indian customers is that the carmaker has gone the extra mile to design this sub-compact SUV specifically for our driving conditions. It brings 25 active and passive safety features across all variants, and these include six airbags, multi-collision brake, rollover protection, electronic differential lock, anti-lock brakes with EBD, and electronic stability control among others.
Bookings for the new Kylaq will begin on December 2 while the full price list will be revealed at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025 on January 17. Deliveries will begin on January 27.
Why is the Skoda Kylaq important?
With the launch of the Skoda Kylaq, the carmaker will be able to return to the sub-10 lakh segment of the Indian passenger vehicle market after a gap of nearly 10 years. The Kylaq will also enable Skoda to dip into the lower-tier markets across India, within which the carmaker has had limited influence till now.
