"Skoda Kylaq will be a gamechanger not just for us, but for the segment, and will democratise European technology on Indian roads, alongside redefining the customer experience," said Petr Janeba, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India.

"This SUV comes with global design cues, unmatched driving dynamics, uncompromising safety, a host of features, a spacious and functional interior which is matched by value pricing across the range. We are confident that Kylaq will further our goal of entering newer markets, bringing new customers into the Škoda family and strengthening our brand presence in India."

The company has staked a lot on the Kylaq, which forms the cornerstone of its attempt to revive its fortunes in India, and chart a new course in one of the world's fastest growing auto markets.

The Škoda Kylaq comes in four distinct variants that offer progressively more features and luxury as you move up the range.

The Classic variant serves as the entry point to the Kylaq range, available only with a manual transmission at ₹7,89,000. While it's the base model, it's far from basic, offering over 40 features including essential safety elements like six airbags, LED lighting, and advanced safety systems such as ABS and traction control. You'll find practical features like height-adjustable seats and electrically adjustable mirrors, though most adjustments are manual.

Moving up to the Signature variant, priced at ₹9,59,000 for manual and ₹10,59,000 for automatic, you get a significant technology upgrade. The car comes with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, R16 alloy wheels, and modern conveniences like cruise control and a cooled glovebox. The variant boasts over 65 features in total, adding creature comforts that make daily driving more enjoyable.

The Signature+ takes luxury and technology up another notch, starting at ₹11,40,000 for manual and ₹12,40,000 for automatic. It introduces an 8-inch digital instrument cluster for the driver and a larger 25.6cm infotainment display. The technology becomes more sophisticated with wireless smartphone connectivity, and there are thoughtful additions like a bamboo-fiber dashboard pad for sustainability. This variant includes around 75 features, adding elements like a rear-view camera and automatic climate control.

At the top of the range sits the Prestige variant, priced from ₹13,35,000 for manual and ₹14,40,000 for automatic. It truly elevates the Kylaq experience with premium features like an electric sunroof, larger R17 dual-tone alloy wheels, and sophisticated LED lighting with cornering function. The interior becomes more luxurious with ambient lighting, ventilated power seats, and wireless phone charging. With over 85 features, it represents the pinnacle of what the Kylaq offers.

The automatic transmission, available in all variants except Classic, adds about ₹1,00,000 to the price. The price steps between variants are substantial, roughly ₹1.5-2 lakh, but each step brings noticeable improvements in features and luxury. The automatic versions use Škoda's AQ250 transmission, while manual variants employ the MQ200 gearbox, both designed to offer a balance of efficiency and driving engagement.
