Updated: Tuesday, December 17, 2024, 16:23 [IST]

Skoda India is gearing up to start deliveries of the Kylaq SUV from January 27, 2025. Since opening bookings on December 2, the Kylaq has already attracted 10,000 reservations. The company has now halted bookings for the entry-level Kylaq Classic variant due to it being sold out.

Skoda Kylaq Production & Delivery Plans

The initial production batch for the Kylaq will consist of 33,000 units. Skoda aims to complete deliveries of this batch by May 2025. The brand director, Petr Janeba, mentioned that bookings for sold-out variants might reopen after this first batch is delivered. Skoda can adjust production numbers based on customer demand.

The Kylaq Classic variant has received around 3,000 bookings. This version is equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox and features such as LED headlamps and six airbags. However, it lacks a touchscreen infotainment system. Janeba stated that customers can install aftermarket screens or a Skoda system as an accessory.

Kylaq Variant Pricing and Features

The Kylaq is available in four variants: Classic, Signature, Signature Plus, and Prestige. Prices range from Rs 7.89 lakh to Rs 14.40 lakh (ex-showroom). The Signature variant starts at Rs 9.59 lakh for the manual version and Rs 10.59 lakh for the automatic.

The Signature Plus variant is priced between Rs 11.40 lakh and Rs 12.40 lakh for the automatic version. The top-spec Prestige variant ranges from Rs 13.35 lakh to Rs 14.40 lakh.

Powertrain Options and Colour Choices

Under the hood, the Kylaq features a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 115hp and 178Nm of torque. It comes with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission.

Customers can choose from seven exterior paint options: Tornado Red, Brilliant Silver, Candy White, Carbon Steel, Lava Blue, Deep Black, and Olive Gold.

Maintenance Package and Warranty Details

Skoda offers a special maintenance package for the first 33,333 customers that reduces running costs to Rs 0.24/km. Additionally, a standard warranty of three years or up to 1,00,000 km is provided.

The Kylaq competes with models like the Mahindra XUV300, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, and Tata Nexon in the market.
