Škoda Auto India announces the name of a new compact SUV, the first of its kind named through the imaginative national ‘Name Your Škoda’ campaign. Reflecting the choice of thousands of people, the new SUV will be called the Kylaq, embodying a unique connection with its future drivers.
The name fits Škoda’s traditional ICE SUV nomenclature, starting with ‘K’ and ending with ‘Q’. It is derived from the Sanskrit word for crystal, reflecting both the vehicle’s pristine qualities and inspiration.
Škoda Kylaq, the ‘SUV for you’, was specifically developed for India by teams in India and the Czech Republic with an eye on versatility, safety, dynamics while focussing on localisation, low maintenance costs and a hassle-free ownership experience. Based on a larger car platform, the compact SUV will have the ‘big car’ feel within the 4-metre footprint.
Modern, bold and muscular
Škoda Kylaq will be the company’s first implementation of the Modern Solid design language in India. It also feature a hexagon pattern on the side and rear of the car and add details like refined and precise DRL light signatures. The Kylaq has a high ground clearance and space around the wheel for tackling uneven road surfaces lending the car that SUV character.
