According to Petr Janeba, brand director, Škoda Auto India, the company is eyeing sales of 8,000 units per month for the Kylaq, which starts at ₹7.89 lakh (ex-showroom) and boasts 96 per cent localisation.
"We get more than 160,000 inquiries from different channels," Janeba said, adding that Škoda expects Kylaq sales to reach 8,000 units per month.
