Skoda Auto India has introduced the Kylaq SUV as its initial entry into the sub-compact segment in November 2024. While the starting price for the Kylaq was set at ₹7. 89 lakh and rose to ₹14. 40 lakh, the Czech automaker has recently updated the price list for the sub-compact SUV. With this price amendment, the Kylaq has become both more expensive and more affordable simultaneously.

As the most economical model in the Skoda India range, the Kylaq initially had a starting price of ₹7. 89 lakh. However, after the recent price update, the range now begins at ₹8. 25 lakh. This adjustment has increased the starting price of the entry-level Kylaq by nearly ₹35,000 in comparison to before. The Skoda Kylaq competes with contenders like Maruti Suzuki Brezza and Tata Nexon. The segment also features popular SUVs such as Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, and Mahindra XUV 3XO, which is the most affordable among them. Here’s how the Kylaq, considering its revised pricing, stacks up against the competitors.
