Eleven months into its launch, the Skoda Kylaq compact SUV has gone past 43,000 units in wholesales. As per SIAM statistics, between January and November 2025, Skoda India has dispatched a total of 43,204 units to its dealers across the country.
The Kylaq has benefited from being part of the compact SUV segment, which is among the big beneficiaries of the GST cut in new vehicle prices. The compact SUV sub-segment, which has over 20 models vying for a slice and more of the action, is an extremely competitive one and accounts for the bulk of the utility vehicle (UV) wholesales in India.
Between January and November 2025, the overall UV segment is estimated to have registered factory dispatches of 2.69 million units to which the compact SUV has contributed 1.29 million units, making for a 48% share, with the balance 52% share accounted for by the midsize SUV and MPV sub-segments. This performance is similar to FY2025 when 13,83,334 compact SUVs were sold (up 10% YoY), giving them a 49% share of the record 27,97,229 UVs sold last fiscal.
