New Delhi: Skoda has given a surprise to the Indian automotive market by introducing a new variant of the Kylaq SUV, along with the reveal of the Skoda Kushaq facelift. Coinciding with the first anniversary of the Kylaq in India, the company unveils the Classic Plus trim, positioned above the base Classic variant. This latest mid-level option has been confirmed, offering both manual and automatic transmission choices. Skoda aims to make it one of the most accessible sub-4 metre SUVs in the country, featuring a real automatic transmission.
Skoda Kylaq Classic Plus will be equipped with several convenience features as standard, including an electric sunroof, rain-sensing wipers, and a multi-function steering wheel. The Signature and Signature Plus variants will now include these features as standard. Automatic trims in these versions will also benefit from paddle shifters, offering a sportier driving experience. Skoda revealed plans to introduce the Prestige Plus trim, which will expand the Kylaq portfolio from four variants and seven price points to six variants and eleven price points. This broader lineup is designed to give customers more flexibility and choice, catering to a wider range of preferences and budgets.
Skoda has also confirmed the launch of Kylaq Sportline later this year. This Sportline is expected to be a sportier and sharper version of the standard Kylaq, appealing to buyers who want more dynamic design and performance-oriented appeal. With the unveiling of Classic Plus, Prestige Plus, and the upcoming Sportline, Sokda is strategically broadening the Kylaq’s presence in India, balancing affordability, features, and sportiness to strengthen its position in the competitive SUV market.
