It already has the technology for hybrid powertrains.
Although the company has the technology ready for hybrid powertrains, it is awaiting consumer demand and a clearer regulatory landscape across states to launch hybrid models.
Speaking to reporters on the sideline of the Kylaq launch, Petr Janeba, brand director, Skoda Auto, said it plans to bring a hybrid variant of the next generation Kushaq in three years.
"If customer demand picks up for hybrid vehicles, then we will definitely look at bringing in a hybrid variant of the Kylaq too," he added.
This comes alongside the launch of the company's new compact SUV, the Kylaq, priced competitively at ₹7.89 lakh (ex-showroom).
Skoda plans to capture a share of the booming sub-four-metre SUV segment which accounts for about 30 per cent of SUV sales in India.
