Skoda Auto India has revised the prices of its most budget-friendly model, the Kylaq. Designed to rival popular sub-compact SUVs like the Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue, Nissan Magnite, and Renault Kiger, the Kylaq now starts at Rs. 8.25 lakh (ex-showroom). The new pricing structure affects all four variants, with both hikes and cuts depending on the trim and transmission.
Price Revisions
Starting with the entry-level Classic variant, it now sees a price hike of Rs. 36,000. This change bumps up the affordability bracket but still keeps it under Rs. 9 lakh, targeting cost-conscious buyers.
The Signature variant has gone up by Rs. 26,000 for the manual trims, including the Signature Lava Blue and Deep Black versions. For those opting for the automatic variant of this trim, prices have increased by Rs. 36,000.
In a twist, Skoda has reduced the pricing on the Signature+ trims. The manual version is now cheaper by Rs. 15,000, while the automatic has seen a cut of Rs. 5,000. This move could be a strategy to make mid-level variants more appealing to buyers seeking better value.
The top-end Prestige variant has received the biggest price drop. Both manual and automatic versions have become more accessible, with reductions of Rs. 46,000 and Rs. 41,000, respectively. This reshuffling makes the top trim far more attractive for buyers looking for a fully loaded compact SUV experience.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the changes:
| Variant | Transmission | Price Change |
|---|---|---|
| Classic | MT | + Rs. 36,000 |
| Signature | MT | + Rs. 26,000 |
| Signature | AT | + Rs. 36,000 |
| Signature+ | MT | – Rs. 15,000 |
| Signature+ | AT | – Rs. 5,000 |
| Prestige | MT | – Rs. 46,000 |
| Prestige | AT | – Rs. 41,000 |
Price Range and Variants
After the latest revision, the Skoda Kylaq is priced between Rs. 8.25 lakh and Rs. 13.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The model continues to be available in four main variants — Classic, Signature, Signature+, and Prestige. Each variant offers a slightly different mix of features and cosmetic options, catering to a range of buyer preferences.
Engine and Options
The Kylaq is available with a single engine option paired with either a manual or automatic transmission. This setup simplifies the buying process and helps Skoda streamline its offerings for better production efficiency.
In terms of design and personalization, the SUV is offered in seven colourways, including standard shades and special edition hues like Lava Blue and Deep Black. These options give customers plenty of room to pick something that fits their personality.
Skoda’s pricing rejig for the Kylaq appears to be a calculated move to align the offering more competitively against its segment rivals. While entry-level and mid-spec trims see modest hikes, the feature-rich Signature+ and Prestige trims now offer better value than before. This strategic balancing act could attract more customers across the board, from budget buyers to premium seekers.
