CRYSTAL CLEAR

The Kylaq is here to shake up the subcompact SUV space, and it's got all the means to do it. Not just in terms of features and drive experience, but holistically with a special focus on an improved and inexpensive ownership experience

The Kylaq is here with deliveries expected to start at the beginning of next year, and there is very little to doubt that expectations from the Kylaq are high.

It's got the presence, it's got the features and it will be the most dynamic SUV in the segment.

But before buying an SUV it's always nice to get a sense of how the brand is preparing for it. With the Kylaq, Skoda has not only made a great car, they've nurtured an ecosystem that will help it grow. Skoda expects Kylaq to be the biggest volume driver of its portfolio and expects the 33,000 introductory-price cars to fly off the shelves. To meet the demand, it's worked on its production line.

The Skoda Kylaq is 95 per cent localised which means that the supply chain will be smoother, and parts will be more accessible. And if you thought Skoda sales and service would burn a hole in your wallet think again. Part of the introductory offer is a 3-year standard maintenance package for the first 33,000 customers. Which would bring the running cost to Rs 0.24/km.
