The new Skoda crossover made a splash: the “base” was sold out in 10 days

The Indian publication Autocar found that the Kylaq subcompact collected ten thousand pre-orders between December 2 and 13. Three thousand applications were submitted for the cheapest Classic package, and the quota for the first batch has ended. The secret of success is a combination of decent equipment and attractive prices. The basic Skoda Kylaq costs only 789 thousand rupees (960 thousand rubles).

Brand Director of Skoda India Petr Janeba emphasized that the cheapest versions of the Kylaq are not “promotional”: they will be supplied. The top manager believes that the entry-level Classic trim level is adequately equipped: the only thing missing is the infotainment system. However, customers can purchase a touchscreen themselves. But six airbags, air conditioning, 16-inch wheels, LED headlights, stabilization system and adjustable headrests are included by default.

The most equipped version has alloy wheels, ventilated and electric front seats, wireless charging for gadgets, a virtual instrument panel, keyless entry, a media system with a 10-inch touchscreen, climate and cruise control, and a cooled glove compartment. The engine is the same: a 1.0 TSI turbocharged engine (115 horsepower and 178 Nm) coupled with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.

Deliveries of the Skoda Kylaq will begin in the first quarter of 2025, the first batch will consist of 33 thousand cars, and then the opportunity to order any version will again open. The top variant costs 1.44 million rupees (1.75 million rubles). In November, Skoda sold only 2.9 thousand cars in India, and the debut of Kylaq will almost triple sales.
