Skoda Kylaq rivals against Tata Nexon, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Renault Kiger, Nissan Magnite, Mahindra XUV 3XO etc.
Skoda India has commenced deliveries of its latest product in India, the Kylaq SUV. The Skoda Kylaq SUV comes as the brand's latest bet to grab a sizeable chunk of the sub-compact SUV segment, where it competes with rivals such as Tata Nexon, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Renault Kiger, Nissan Magnite, Mahindra XUV 3XO etc. Available in four different trim choices, the Skoda Kyla SUV comes available in India at a starting price of ₹7.89 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Skoda Kylaq is the third passenger vehicle from the Czech manufacturer under its India 2.0 strategy after the Kushaq and Slavia. The Skoda Kushaq and Slavia have helped the company cater to nearly 30 per cent of the Indian passenger vehicle market. With the launch of Kylaq, the carmaker intends to further extend its outreach and deepen its inroads in this segment. While the Kushaq and Skoda Slavia helped the brand establish its presence across the Tier-1 cities, the Kylaq will give the brand a big chance to come into the markets of Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.
