Production of the upcoming Skoda Kylaq subcompact SUV has commenced at the carmaker’s Chakan manufacturing facility in Pune. It’s the most affordable SUV offering from the Czech automaker and the fifth Skoda to be based on the MQB-A0-IN platform, featuring high levels of localization. The carmaker states that the Kylaq has been “built on four broad pillars of safety, comfort, quality, and global design.” Skoda Auto Volkswagen India has further expanded its local supplier base by 10 percent, aiming to improve turnaround time and reduce the cost of ownership.
