The competition in the sub-4 metre compact SUVs is going to be intense as Škoda Auto has launched Kylaq at a starting price of Rs 7.89 lakh.

The passenger vehicle maker had made its ambitions to grow the brand in India clear with the announcement of a compact SUV, Kylaq, in February this year. The Kylaq will see Škoda Auto present in the sub-4m segment, which holds almost 30 per cent of the total Indian car market, and is one of the fastest-growing segments in India.

With the Kylaq, Škoda Auto India will offer a range of SUVs including the luxury offering Kodiaq, and the first launch from Škoda Auto’s India 2.0 project, Kushaq, the mid-sized SUV. The Kylaq is set to add a new dimension to the compact SUV segment with its modern, bold and muscular styling. Also, the launch of the Kylaq will see Škoda Auto entering a ‘new era’ in India — the most important market for the brand outside Europe.

Klaus Zellmer, CEO of Škoda Auto, said, “The Kylaq is our first sub-4m SUV, designed in India and for India as a new entry point to our brand. India is key to our internationalisation plans, the world’s third-largest car market, and SUVs make up 50 per cent of new vehicle sales. At a competitive starting price of Rs 7,89,000, the Kylaq is the most accessible Škoda model in India.”
