Skoda Kylac Becomes the 'Golden Egg Laying Hen', Doubles Company's Sales in Just 7 Months

Skoda’s sub-compact SUV Kylac, launched in November last year, has turned out to be a game-changer for the company in India. Within just seven months, this SUV has not only captured customer attention but also doubled Skoda India’s overall sales, earning the title of a true “hen that lays golden eggs.”

Record-Breaking Sales Performance

Deliveries for the Skoda Kylac began in January 2025, and since then, the company has sold 27,091 units of this SUV. This number alone accounts for 65% of Skoda’s total sales (41,748 units) between January and July 2025.

The impact was visible in March 2025, when Skoda registered its highest-ever monthly sales of 7,422 vehicles, with Kylac driving the surge. In fact, the model has single-handedly doubled Skoda’s sales from 17,565 units (previous period) to 41,748 units in just seven months.

In India’s competitive compact SUV space, Kylac rivals Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV 3XO, and Tata Nexon.
