The Skoda Kylaq pricing has been announced for all variants, with a total of seven variants—four MT and three AT—available priced between Rs 7.89 lakh and Rs 14.40 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Skoda Kylaq is a big entry into the busy sub-four-metre compact SUV segment. With all major players fighting for the pie, the arrival of Skoda marks the VW Group entry in this segment. With a solid build quality, a targeted five-star GNCAP rating, and a choice of manual and automatic transmissions with the potent 1.0 TSI engine, Skoda seems to be on the course of new success.
The 1.0 TSI engine is standard and the turbo-petrol three-cylinder engine produces 110 hp and 178 Nm. The transmissions doing duty are the tried-and-tested MQ200 six-speed manual and the AQ250 six-speed automatic with tiptronic support. The homologation is in process and the target fuel economy is 20 km/l for the manual versions, with the automatic all but one kilometre/litre away. This should make the Skoda Kylaq one of the most efficient compact SUV models in India.
Skoda Auto India are targetting more cities with a higher volume expected due to the fresh approach in tier II and tier III cities. As such, they have opened more than 70 new touchpoints and the target of 100 new ones is in progress. There will be 350-plus Skoda touchpoints across India for the new Kylaq by the end of this year.
