Exclusive: Skoda To Launch New Kylaq Variant Under Rs. 10 Lakh; To Plug Gap Between Classic And Signature Variants

The addition of this new variant should help Skoda plug the gap between the Classic and Signature variants and give customers 3 variants priced under Rs. 10 lakh. Here’s how the introduction of a new mid variant can impact your decision while buying the 2025 Skoda Kylaq.

Incoming: New Kylaq Mid Variant Under Rs. 10 Lakh

Currently, the Kylaq’s base signature variant is priced at Rs. 7.89 lakh while the Signature variant above it costs a whopping 1.7 lakh more, at Rs. 9.59 lakh (ex-showroom). The base variant of the Kylaq gets features like 15-inch steel wheel, LED headlamps with LED DRLs, LED tail lamps, 6 airbags, ESC, ISOFIX, and rear parking sensors. However, it misses out on a touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, wireless charger, and an electric sunroof.

Meanwhile, the Signature variant offers additional features such as 16-inch alloy wheels,  tyre pressure monitoring system, cruise control, multi-functional steering wheel, 6.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, rear USB-C sockets, 4 speakers, rear AC vents, driver side auto up/down window, front armrest, rear parcel tray, rear defogger, glovebox cooling, boot lamp, and various cosmetic enhancements on the inside.

The new variant, which is set to plug the gap between the base and mid variant, could offer a mix of features from the Signature variant while looking more upmarket than the bare-bones Classic variant. We expect this new variant to cost around Rs. 9 lakh (ex-showroom), thereby allowing customers to buy a relatively well-equipped Kylaq for a premium of around 1.10 lakh.

Now, our source is yet to confirm if Skoda will offer the new variant with both the petrol-manual and petrol-automatic powertrain. However, considering the most affordable Kylaq petrol-AT variant – the Signature – is priced above the Rs. 10 lakh psychological barrier, we expect Skoda to offer this powertrain option with the upcoming variant. Doing so would give customers the option to pick a Kylaq automatic for Rs. 10 lakh (ex-showroom). Currently, Skoda are charging a premium of Rs. 1 lakh for the automatic transmission over the corresponding manual variant. Considering the new Kylaq petrol manual variant is expected to cost Rs. 9 lakh, we can safely assume that the new Kylaq petrol automatic variant would cost Rs. 10 lakh when launched.
