TL;DR
Skoda Auto India is set to launch five new SUV models, including an automatic variant for the Kylaq, as part of an aggressive strategy to expand its market presence.
Skoda Auto India is preparing a significant SUV offensive, with plans to introduce five new models to the Indian market soon. This strategy underscores the brand's commitment to the highly competitive SUV segment, which is a major growth driver in the country.
Among the anticipated launches is an automatic transmission (AT) variant for the popular entry-level SUV, Kylaq. The Kylaq, currently offered with a 1.0-litre TSI petrol engine, will see its existing 6-speed automatic transmission potentially replaced with an 8-speed automatic unit, similar to the one found in the Kushaq facelift.
The expanded SUV lineup aims to cater to diverse customer preferences, from compact offerings to premium segments, as Skoda focuses on creating products tailored for the Indian market. This move is expected to further strengthen Skoda's brand presence and market share in India, building on the success of existing models like the Kylaq.
