Skoda Auto confirmed the launch of a new compact SUV in the Indian market early this year. The sub-4-meter SUV is scheduled for a global debut on November 6. The Czech carmaker has already revealed a few details and it is expected to go on sale around March 2025. In the latest development, the Skoda Kylaq has been spotted in its final production-ready guise, wearing heavy camouflage. Let’s look at some important details of the upcoming Skoda Kylaq compact SUV.
The spy shots reveal that the Kylaq will draw heavy inspiration from its elder sibling Kushaq, however, there will be some visible design differences. The highlights of the new styling will be the split headlamp setup with the LED DRLs positioned on top and the main headlight unit below it.
The grille can be seen sporting vertical slats and there’s a large air dam in the lower part of the front bumper. Other major observations from the latest spy shots include an electric sunroof, upright bonnet and a new set of alloy wheels which are likely 16 inchers.
