Skoda Kylaq production to begin by October 2024

The Skoda Kylaq will compete with the Maruti Brezza, Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue and Kia Sonet.

Skoda is gearing up to introduce its first compact SUV, the Kylaq, in the Indian market early next year. As per the latest reports, production of the Skoda Kylaq will commence as early as October 2024.

Skoda is said to be planning for an annual production volume of 50,000 to 70,000 units. Initially, the Kylaq will be sold in the domestic market, but Skoda plans to export it to overseas markets as well.

The Skoda Kylaq will be based on the MQB A0-IN platform, shared with the Kushaq and Slavia. The exterior design of the car will retain the typical Skoda SUV language, while its interior promises to offer a “big car” feel.

In India, the Kylaq is expected to be offered with a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder turbo-petrol engine paired with a 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions.

The Skoda Kylaq will be positioned below the Kushaq and compete with models like the Maruti Brezza, Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue and Kia Sonet.
