Škoda Auto India is set to revolutionize the compact SUV market with the launch of the all-new Kylaq, premiering globally on November 6, 2024. This vehicle is poised to fill the sub-4m segment, which comprises nearly 30% of the Indian car market and is one of the fastest-growing segments in the country. Designed with high localization, the Kylaq embodies Škoda’s commitment to “Make in India,” featuring bold, muscular styling and a suite of safety features, including over 25 active and passive safety elements.
Managing Director and CEO Piyush Arora emphasized the vehicle’s alignment with the evolving aspirations of Indian customers, stating, “Kylaq is designed and engineered in India for India and will be a gamechanger.” With a powerful 1.0 TSI engine and a six-speed transmission, the Kylaq is crafted for performance and safety, having undergone rigorous testing across diverse terrains.
The Siliguri region is expected to respond positively to the Kylaq’s launch. The burgeoning SUV demand in Siliguri reflects a growing customer base seeking vehicles that blend modern aesthetics with robust performance, making the Kylaq an attractive offering for local consumers. As Škoda Auto India aims to double its market share, the Kylaq could be pivotal in capturing the attention of SUV enthusiasts across the nation.
