Skoda launched a contest to engage the public in the naming process, narrowing it down to six final options.
Earlier this year, Skoda Auto India announced the development of a new subcompact SUV for the Indian market. Following this announcement, the company released teaser sketches, giving a glimpse of the front and rear profiles of the upcoming vehicle. This subcompact SUV is expected to be positioned below the Skoda Kushaq, serving as the brand's entry-level SUV offering in India. The unveiling of the SUV’s name, which has sparked considerable interest, is scheduled for August 21, 2024. Skoda launched a contest to engage the public in the naming process, narrowing down to six final options: Kyroq, Kwiq, Kylaq, Kosmiq, Kayaq, and Kliq.
Design-wise, the subcompact SUV is likely to follow Kushaq’s styling cues, including an LED headlight setup and L-shaped LED tail lights, based on recent teasers and spy shots. The vehicle is expected to be powered by the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, delivering 113 bhp and 178 Nm of torque, similar to the Kushaq. Skoda plans to offer both 6-speed manual and automatic transmission options.
