Skoda Kylaq SUV in mind? Here's how long you have to wait after booking
Skoda Kylaq SUV now commands a waiting period of up to four months.
Skoda India has commenced deliveries and test drives of its Kylaq SUV. The sub-compact SUV that competes with rivals such as Tata Nexon, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, and Hyundai Venue among others now comes commanding a waiting period of up to four months, depending on the variant. The Skoda Kylaq SUV comes priced between ₹7.89 lakh and ₹14.40 lakh (ex-showroom).
As Skoda is spearheading the Volkswagen AG's product onslaught, the Kylaq is expected to play a key role. The Czech automaker is aiming to encash the high demand for the sub-compact SUVs in India. With an aim to boost its market share in India, Skoda is planning to deliver 33,000 units of Kylaq by May 2025 in the first phase. The majority of these Kylaq models are earmarked for the higher-spec variants.
