Skoda compact SUV spied for the first time
Skoda recently announced its plans to launch a compact SUV, which was first spotted testing under heavy camouflage on Indian roads. The Czech brand has officially confirmed the launch schedule for early 2025.
The new compact SUV will be the entry-level product in the Indian market portfolio, with a design of less than 4 meters. It will be positioned under the Skoda Kushaq.
Skoda revealed the teaser image at the time of the announcement last month. It has some sharp design elements up front, with LED DRLs likely to be positioned above the main headlamp units. The test mule’s rear profile doesn’t reveal much but stylish LED taillights. The overall design language is expected to be borrowed from the larger SUVs in the automaker’s lineup.
It will be based on the same MQB-A0-IN as the Skoda Kushaq, but with a reduced length. The compact SUV will be powered by a 1.0 TSI turbo petrol engine, producing 115 hp and 175 Nm of torque. This engine will be available with 6-speed manual transmission and automatic transmission options.
There will be no 1.5 liter TSI engine option to save taxes and offer it at an attractive price. Skoda will look for an elevated location to further reduce prices. They intend to double their market share by targeting tier 3 and tier 4 cities.
The name of the new compact SUV will start with K and end with Q. Skoda has selected some of the names and these are inspired by iconic places related to India – Škoda Kylaq, Kariq, Kymaq, Kyroq and Kwiq.
Volkswagen will also introduce a similar product based on the same platform. We can expect the German automaker to launch its version of the compact SUV sometime around the debut of the new Skoda in 2025.
