Skoda’s first sub-4 metre model in India since the Fabia becomes its new best-selling product mainly thanks to its affordable pricing
Skoda’s sales in India have reached a whole new level since it launched the Kylaq. Although not as good as the record-breaking March 2025, May 2025 was quite a decent month for the Czech automaker, all thanks to the new sub-4 metre SUV.
The Kylaq was unsurprisingly Skoda’s best-selling model in India in May 2025. The company delivered 4,949 units of the small SUV last month, far more than any of its other models. The Hyundai Venue rival accounted for 73% of the brand’s total sales in May 2025, which stood at 6,740 units.
For the record, a year ago when Skoda didn’t have the Kylaq in showrooms yet its sales were less than half of last month. In May 2024, the company had sold just 2,884 cars, meaning it recorded a year-over-year growth of 134% (3,856 units) last month.

While the Kylaq registered 4,949 units in sales in May 2025, Skoda’s other mass-market, locally manufactured models in India sold in three-digit figures. The Slavia contributed 937 units, marking a year-over-year decline of 39% (May 2024: 1,538 units). The Kushaq saw an even bigger year-over-year decline of 44%, registering just 644 units in May 2025, compared to 1,157 units in the same month last year.
The Kyaq is Skoda’s first sub-4 metre model since the Fabia in 2013. The company offers it exclusively with a 1.0-litre TSI turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine, tuned to produce 85 kW (114 hp) and 178 Nm of torque. It gives customers a choice of two transmissions: 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic. The small SUV delivers a fuel economy of 19.68 km/l with the former and 19.05 km/l with the latter.

On the safety front, Skoda offers features like six airbags, hill hold control, electronic stability control, traction control system, and a reverse camera. The Kylaq’s ex-showroom prices start at 8.25 lakh rupees.
