Skoda Kylaq Classic+ gets features including rain-sensing wipers and an auto-dimming inside rear-view mirror
Skoda India has reworked the Kylaq compact SUV range by introducing two new trims – the Classic+ at the lower end and the Prestige+ as the new top-spec model. The update was announced during the showcase of the refreshed Kushaq where the company also confirmed that the Signature and Signature+ variants have gained additional equipment.
As a result, the Kylaq portfolio now comprises six variants instead of four with a Sportline version scheduled to join the range by festive season 2026. Positioned just above the entry-level Classic, the newly added Classic+ is priced at Rs. 8.25 lakh with a six-speed manual gearbox and Rs. 9.25 lakh with an automatic transmission (ex-showroom).
Unlike the base trim, the Classic+ can be paired with both gearboxes. It uses the same 1.0-litre three-pot turbocharged petrol engine developing a maximum power output of 115 PS and 178 Nm of peak torque. The introduction of this variant effectively lowers the starting price of the Kylaq automatic by Rs. 85,000 as well. What grabs the attention is the presence of a host of premium equipment.
Over the standard Classic, it gains 16-inch alloy wheels, an electric sunroof, cruise control, steering-mounted controls, rain-sensing wipers and an auto-dimming inside rear-view mirror. These upgrades come at a premium of Rs. 66,000 over the Classic manual – positioning the Classic+ as a more value-for-money option for buyers probably costing around Rs. 12 lakh on-road.
The mid-spec Signature and Signature+ variants have also been enhanced. Both trims now receive features previously reserved for the top-end models such as a sunroof, rear wiper, automatic wipers and paddle shifters on automatic versions. Prices for the Signature variants have been revised to Rs. 9.43 lakh for the manual and Rs. 10.43 lakh for the automatic.
The Signature+, on the other hand, is now priced at Rs. 10.77 lakh and Rs. 11.77 lakh respectively. At the top of the line-up, Skoda has introduced the Prestige+ as the most feature-loaded choice. Priced at Rs. 11.99 lakh for the manual and Rs. 12.99 lakh for the automatic, it now sits above the regular Prestige. To create a gap between the two, the standard Prestige has been made more affordable by removing features such as the six-way powered front seats – resulting in a price reduction of Rs. 24,000.
Looking ahead, Skoda has confirmed that a Kylaq Sportline variant will be launched later in the year. While mechanical specifications are expected to remain unchanged, the Sportline is likely to focus on sportier visual updates inside and outside. With the updated pricing now starting at Rs. 7.59 lakh and topping out at Rs. 12.99 lakh, the Kylaq makes for an attractive option to many buyers and is part of the brand concentrating on bringing in more value-added entry-spec trims.
