Skoda Kylaq Hits A Production Milestone! Over 50,000 Units Rolled Out

Skoda entered the sub-compact SUV segment in India with the Skoda Kylaq on December 2, 2024. Since its launch, the SUV has received strong demand, making it a success for the Czech carmaker. Skoda India has now reached a major milestone, rolling out 50,000 units of the Kylaq from its Chakan plant in Pune. Interestingly, deliveries for the Skoda Kylaq began on the very same day (January 27) in 2025. 

This achievement not only highlights the Kylaq’s popularity but also underlines the impact of Skoda’s ‘Make in India’ strategy. The carmaker has also announced a 30 percent increase in production capacity at the same facility to accommodate demand for the Kylaq. So, what makes the Kylaq such a strong proposition? Let’s take a look.

Skoda Kylaq Overview

The Skoda Kylaq is a fun-to-drive sub-4 metre SUV often perceived as the successor to the erstwhile iconic Polo hatchback. It has also made the Skoda brand more accessible for buyers who wanted a European car that mainly focused on driving dynamics and solid build quality. 

And Skoda doesn’t want to stop there. After a recent lineup update, it is now available in six variants: Classic, Classic Plus, Signature, Signature Plus, Prestige and Prestige Plus. The revised variant lineup mainly focuses on bringing some of the top-spec features available in lower variants to make it an even more enticing proposition. And the best bit is prices haven’t changed during this update. 

It comes in six striking shades: Cherry Red, Lava Blue, Deep Black, Candy White, Carbon Steel, and Brilliant Silver. 

Design-wise, the Kylaq looks balanced between sporty and sophisticated. It carries familiar Kushaq-like styling cues, including the signature butterfly grille, LED lighting elements, 17-inch alloy wheels, black roof rails and chrome door handles. The Kylaq is based on the same platform as the Kushaq, though with a smaller wheelbase.
