The Skoda Kylaq made its global debut on November 6, with the SUV marking Skoda’s return to the sub-4m segment after over a decade. The SUV also holds great significance for the company as it looks to carve out a space for itself in the hotly contested subcompact SUV space going up against established players such as the Maruti Brezza, Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet and Mahindra XUV 3XO. Prices for the Kylaq start from Rs 7.89 lakh (ex-showroom) with full prices to be announced on December 2. Bookings also open on December 2.
