Skoda has announced that it will reveal the name of its upcoming SUV on August 21. Earlier this year, the Czech carmaker came up with the ‘Name Your Skoda’ campaign to shortlist a few names, including Karmiq, Kymaq and Kayaq. The only rule was that the names should start with ‘K’ and end with ‘Q’, which is the standard nomenclature for its ICE-powered SUVs. Over 200,000 entries were submitted out of which 10 would win a trip to Prague, Czech Republic. It will rival the Tata Nexon and Maruti Suzuki Brezza upon launch.

Heavily camouflaged test mules of the SUV have been spotted several times, revealing key aspects. It is going to be under 4 metres and Skoda will reportedly use a shortened avatar of its made-for-India MQB-A0 IN platform. For reference, the larger Slavia and Kushaq are underpinned by the same architecture. Second, the cabin will be equipped with a 10-inch touchscreen unit supporting wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, an 8-inch driver’s display, wireless charging and sunroof.
Talking about the powertrain, we expect it to have the familiar 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine belting out 114 bhp and 178 Nm of pull force, mated to either a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox. Its safety quotient is expected to be in line with Skoda’s other cars besides ADAS, six airbags, ABS, EBD, tyre pressure monitoring system and rear parking camera.
