Skoda Auto India has revised the pricing of its Kylaq SUV, increasing prices for select variants by up to Rs. 33,000. While the base Classic variant remains unaffected, other trims now command a higher ex-showroom price, following a broad update to the carmaker’s product strategy.
Overview
After unveiling the Kushaq facelift recently, Skoda continues to refresh its portfolio by adjusting prices across its model range. The Kylaq, a compact SUV aimed at rivals like the Tata Nexon, is the latest model to undergo a price update.
As of now, the Kylaq is priced between Rs. 7.59 lakh and Rs. 12.99 lakh (ex-showroom). This change reflects Skoda’s ongoing efforts to reposition its offerings in a highly competitive segment.
Price Hike
Not all Kylaq variants have seen a price revision. The base Classic variant continues to retail at its original price point, offering buyers an entry option without additional cost. However, the remaining variants have seen varied increases.
Here is a summary of the updated pricing:
| Variant | Price Hike |
|---|---|
| Classic | No Change |
| Signature MT | Rs. 33,000 |
| Signature AT | Rs. 33,000 |
| Signature+ MT | Rs. 33,000 |
| Signature+ AT | Rs. 33,000 |
| Prestige MT | Rs. 24,000 |
| Prestige AT | Rs. 24,000 |
| Classic+ | No Change |
| Prestige+ | No Change |
These hikes suggest a targeted approach by Skoda, likely driven by input cost changes, updated features, or positioning in response to the competition.
Variants
Earlier this month, Skoda introduced Classic+ and Prestige+ variants to the Kylaq lineup. Both new trims have retained their launch prices, further expanding the model’s reach among mid-level SUV buyers.
The company has not provided detailed explanations for the price increase, but such revisions are commonly linked to higher production costs, changes in taxation, or repositioning ahead of a new model or variant launch.
Sportline
Looking ahead, Skoda is preparing to introduce a new Sportline variant to the Kylaq range. While full specifications are yet to be announced, the Sportline trim is expected to feature cosmetic enhancements and sportier design elements to attract younger buyers.
Details about the Sportline version are expected to be revealed later in the year, and prospective buyers can stay updated via the company’s official communication channels or dealership outlets.
Segment
The Skoda Kylaq competes in the crowded sub-compact SUV segment, directly taking on models like the Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Maruti Brezza, and Kia Sonet. As automakers continue to refresh lineups with new features and trims, price adjustments like this help maintain market competitiveness.
While the entry-level pricing remains accessible, buyers opting for higher trims will now have to account for the revised ex-showroom costs.
The pricing update for the Kylaq is part of Skoda Auto India’s larger strategy to stay aligned with changing market dynamics and rising input costs. For buyers, this means checking variant prices closely before making a booking decision, especially if choosing mid to top-tier trims. With more updates and a Sportline variant on the way, the Kylaq lineup is poised to remain a key player in Skoda’s portfolio.
