Skoda has declared its entry into India's competitive sub-4 metre SUV market, with plans to launch its first subcompact SUV in 2025.
The upcoming Skoda sub-4 metre SUV will share the MQB-A0-IN platform with the Kushaq and Slavia models. A sneak peek at the design reveals the classic Skoda grille, LED daytime running lights, a sporty front bumper, and roof rails.
Petr Janeba, Skoda's Brand Director, promises unique features in the new sub-compact SUV, aiming for a 5-star NCAP rating.
Skoda plans to set up a new production line for the model near Pune, anticipating 1 lakh unit sales within the first year and a doubled market share. The company is also crowdsourcing names for the subcompact SUV, shortlisting Kylaq, Kariq, Kymaq, Kyroq, and Kwiq, with a chance for the public to suggest names starting with 'K' and ending with 'Q' for a shot at winning the SUV.

I'm interested in an Indian car launch after such a long time! I hope this car turns out to be as good as it's bigger sibling
Still waiting for Polo. 😢
Nahi aayega.. go for used polo of 2019, 2020 model
😢
@@crankboost i will highly suggest a gt 1.2 dsg model used... if u r looking for a pocket rocket.. its still better than any 10 lakh new car in market
Virtus/Taigun gt is so much better i was also a owner of polo gt
They won't launch polo because polo is no longer under 4m like old ones... The new vw polo/skoda Fabia is 4.2m long and no Indians will buy hatchback for the price of vw taigun/skoda kushaq ..
Must have's in this VW sub4'm SUVs are
1- Sunroof and alloys, TPMS, HUD option for top trims. Customer will pay if he sees the value. (Even if unnecessary).
2- ADAS level2 on topmost variant.
3- TSI with TC.
4- Manual MUST HAVE LIGHT CLUTCH because the manual will sell in numbers.
5- Beige coloured airy feel good cabin, or the buyers will move to Hyundai/Kia.
6- Keep the lowest variant at par with Brezza, dont give any flashy things. Bring the customer in.
7- Give extended warranty packs. Keep the customer locked in for 10 years. His family will never buy anything else.
I am a Ford+Maruti+Hyundai customer and the way Ford has kept me in even they stopped sells business is legendary. Their service is still legendary. Even they started extended warranty packs this year!!
All the above would push the price of base to at least 13 lac ex showroom. No way VW would do that. Look what happened to Ford. It was not that they were not upgrading their existing models or launching new ones. The fact was they could not afford upgrades or new launches.
fantastic points. being VW polo owner.. I need one good option in skoda vw family.... there should be one 10lac automatic model with all must have features.
Ford Rocks 🔥🔥🔥
@@happyguy65013Lac ex showroom is Skoda Kushaq territory
When skoda launches this car they should immediately update kushaq n taigun to make them look fresh in the market.
Here u we gotta learn from tata. When they launched punch, it still didn't affect Nexon sales. Reason tata also launched facelifts of Nexon at the same time. This is a brilliant strategy.
Skoda is planning to bring a facelift of kushaq and Slavia after the launch of this Suv, Said zellmer CEO of Skoda
They should launch compact suv with 1.2 NA same like other brands are doing..from mid variants they should offer 1.0 tsi in such a way that top variant's price will match kushaq's mid variant.. They also have to consider size factor because if CSUV looks same as Kushaq in terms of size then it will be reason behind kushaq's discontinuation
They can achieve 5% of market sales if their portfolio would be
Polo-CSUV-Virtus-Taigun(with Updated features)-Tiguan
Fabia-Kyroq-Slavia-Kushaq(with updated features)-Octavia-Superb-Kodiaq
After 1 lakh sales milestone they are taking indian market very seriously..
Hope Honda follows the Same by launching Compact SUV and a 7 seater
@skodaindia , please consider this comment
I feel the upcoming Compact SUV will eat sales of kushaq 1.0 and slavia..
Because of the Size factor, People prefer Suv from other brands or consider slavia because it looks big..
They need to update Kushaq heavily by adding Panoramic Sunroof,360 camera, heads up display etc to pitch kushaq premium over CSUV..
or they have to make the new csuv same like Punch/Magnite/Exter size so that sales of kushaq won't be affected..
After all, they earn more profit on selling Kushaq compared to CSUV
Was waiting for your video on this. It's a great move by Skoda Auto India.
Test drove new Slavia and virtus 1.5 after using a Polo GT 1.2 TSi Dsg. The cars are well equipped but it lacks that true german feel and dynamics. Loving my Polo GT even more now❤
Please share your thoughts
Will it be a good idea to buy old EcoSport petrol now
I am getting a 2019 model for 6.4L
The Skoda Kushaq itself looks like a sub 4m car from the distance. Unlike its competitors. Even a Brezza gives the illusion of being larger than the kushaq
Now if they actually make a sub 4m car i am sure it will look smaller than the competition and the prime customer in this segment wont really dig that.
Reintroducing the Polo with 1.0tsi would have been a far far better decision. It has a cult following and could have dominated the segment
Aap bilkul sach kaha yeh sub compact suv se comfort ki maamle Kam lagta Hain bhi mein yehi socha tha kushaq jab dekha kushaq ko XUV 300 mein kushaq se zyada comfort Hain aur wide bhi Hain isliye Maine XUV 300 kharid li
After your video I already started getting my plans to buy it. I AM EXcITED.
Bro you need to wait till 2026
Excited*
Paaji Kushaq explorer hai kya? FWD offroader ya is it the premium vehicle you talk about (then it should get Michelin slicks) with 360 degree camera and all?
What about dimensions as compared to kushaq?
Pls try to place mic closer
Echo create hui thi
I know this video was a sudden plan. May not have much time to do preps
I was using earphones still i was facing lil trouble due to echo
Hopefully exciting time ahead for VW/Skoda and more great options for consumer to choose from. Good to see that GoI softening its stand on ICE, we need these brands to stay and grow in India.
What milage you got when you took slavia automatic to dharmashala??????
I was waiting for your video, after yesterday’s announcement
SSA ji
Nice T-shirt
Now the question is there any chance that polo is going to do come back or maybe any other hatchback by VW?
I was hoping that your video also goes into Skoda. Kushaq explorer showcased by them.
Is that official news? From company?
Your comment could be:
"Skoda's entry into the Indian market is truly fascinating and likely to prompt others to take it seriously.
Their focus on offering a diverse range of vehicles, including 4m those built on a solid platform, coupled with options like automatic transmission and diesel engines at competitive prices, is a smart move."
I also feel same, kushaq 1.0 ki sales kha jayegi ye…
But I have heard they will make feature wise upgrade in Kushaq and Taigun which will make this more premium (adas etc)
+AMT, even if it is jerky , knee pain is common now a days, people need AMT.
The only good about this launch is that they can increase the reach now with expansive dealer network especially tier 2. In the segment which this car is launching where there will be an option generated as a budget value luxury brand. If this is translated into success there is possibility that they can show German heads the potential of brand and then may be they can expand manufacturing by localising Troc/Karoq which may fit later in coming years. However, I personally and completely not sure if this is okay because already existing suv's look small to the counter part Elevate/seltos/creta/nexon ...and if they would had gone for a segment above then although the reach would have been niche but I guess profits margin would had been more because they anyways would had priced them close or same as compass.
Very truth full analysis about diving pleasure in uphills .. confident driving .. over taking .!! Felt the same in 1.0 Kushaq !!
Skoda must bring a NA petrol with CNG for boosting their sales with 1.0 TSI
The car would feel very sluggish due to the weight VAG cars have
Sunder bhai really happy to see this news.
What do you think of my thinking?👇
Mujhe asa lagta h ki
1)
skoda sub4m car ko crossoverish banana pdega like venue sonet aur since 2025 me aayegi tab tak Kushaq ka ek facelift due hoga, usme kushaq ko grill, bumper, headlight ki madad se butch broad look dena chahie. Iss sub4m car ko agar butch suvish shape de di toh kushaq 1litre nhi bikegi.
2) Features ke level pe Kushaq ko zyada features dene honge compared to sub4m car. Bas sub4m car ko thoda modern, funky appeal dena pdega since sonet,venue ki crossover shape ko target karegi yeh car. (Nexon,xuv300,brrzza ki boxy shape ke saath compete nhi karwana chahie iss new sub4m car se, for the sake of kushaq sales)
3) sub4m me, VW ko sirf polo hatchback laani chahie aur skoda ko sirf suv. Since polo ki brand value h, fabia ko aaj ke log nhi jaante. Aur agar Vw polo ko launch kare toh unhe apni Taigun ko butch more suv karne ki zarurat nhi h. 2025 me Taigun facelift me vw Taigun ko more techy, moderb futuristic bna sakta h while Kushaq facekift ko butch suv bnana chahie. That way skoda vw cars wont eat into each other's market share in sub4 and above4m suv category.
I very excited to hear big plan for India by VW group
Mic not used?
Skoda should introduce Diesel engine in New Generation Kodiaq 1st instead of Superb if it is just experiment. I heard that they will bring Superb Diesel as CBU, instead of Superb they should introduce TDI engine in Kodiaq. Otherwise it will not sell much because people prefer Diesel SUV nowadays at that price point. It will be better if they introduce TDI in both Superb & Kodiaq. 👍🏻
Skoda is bringing diesel in superb
1.0 engine would also help vw in keeping the price under check
Hello Sir!

Bhai ..Voice is not clear for this video ..Theatre ho raha hai
Hi Sundardeep, Thanks for sharing such good content. Could you please help me decide to buy VW Tiguan? Will be the right choice at this time with discounted value or should I wait?
Hi Anirban ji. Every penny is worth it for 2.0 TSI AWD at discounted rates. Best selling product in Europe for a reason.
Paaji.... It definitely great news for Indian Car buyers.
Finally Skoda has realised that you got to bend yourself & offer affordable Cars in Sub 4mts C-SUV or Premium Hatch to survive long with good Sales nos.
For many this segment is an entry level segment. Unless Indians try, test & owns their Sub 4 Mts Cars they will not become their future brand loyal customers for their bigger Cars.
VW-Skoda has to offer Extra than Sub 4 Mts CSUV competition. By and large for Indians basic requirements is Infotainment system & Alloy wheels. Hence they have to offer both the above from the base to be one up over competition. Over & above their list of Safety features.
Once they experience the driving dynamics & feel the difference only than future is bright for VW-Skoda India.
We all know about Mercedes, BMW, Audi..... as good Cars. मगर हिम्मत ही नहीं करेंगे Showroom जाने की. क्यू पत्ता है उनकी Cars are expensive to own और maintain.
If VAG brings back diesel engine The sales of Virtus , Slavia will definitely witness a jump. As the potential VW buyers of rural and suburban sector will welcome a potent diesel engine in current VW Skoda cars
The market is all about volume of sales paaji! However, Skoda can never get to the type of sales TATA Mahindra Hyundai Maruti has generated since a long time! In India - Skoda, Volkswagen lacks volume due to availability of various options to customers in other brands! Awareness campaigns is the need for these companies to run in India to make customers aware of what they are missing on! Moreover pricing is also the key! I wanted to buy VW Virtus automatic but budget nahi ban paya so I went with the City( which is no doubt a mind blowing product from Honda) but if the awareness & price - ye dono cheezo pe dhyan dein to Skoda & VW bhi bikega - coz ye koi Audi, Mercedes aur BMW nahi jo price bracket se neechay nahi utar sakte! Think about it
They need steady sales, otherwise Launch cancel na ho jaaye.
Hatchback is UTMOST necesssary.
Already kushaq and taigun are so compact in size as compared to their competitors.
Now more mini version will be 2 seater only
Or 2 door 😂
Hi Sunderdeepji,
Wonderful video as usual
Excellent video quality
But audio has a bit of echo 🤔
Sorry, my mic settings were mixed up. Watch the latest video too, sound quality is fixed there.
Massive respect to you for the points you have covered in this video and also the previous video about things Taigun and Kushaq need to improve to remain competitive. Yes, VW and Skoda has made a mistake of ignoring the sub 4m customer segment so far. They need to bring out their best ever product in this price range and also re-launch the Polo with the most attention given to strategic pricing and agressive plus dynamic design for the sub 4m SUV. Need of the hour!
Excellent review
If VW & Skoda give Efforts till 15yr in India they might not face low sale Now. They Focus on Export
They have beautiful hatchbacks which are over 4m.. They should have rather brought that with a turbo engine at 9 to 12 bracket.. Those cars will be the segment of the future... Fabia or a Polo with 180mm gc and 400l boot..
ye sab abhi hona tha last week hi maine slavia li hai .
Automatic in base model is much awaited both in SUV & SEDAN
Will vw / skoda gets ADAS in 2024 ?
They shud introduce IMT transmission...ppl say its for namesake but its very convenient specially in city where traffic is there. Bcz there's no leg workout bcz of no clutch n also u can enjoy manual shifting...its just the best for cities..i hd driven twice n i feel its quite interesting....if theres imt n good safety like skoda thn it will surely be a good option for many n would boost sales to a some extent...aapko kya lagta hain sunderji
Kodiaq new generation kab aye gyi
Is this still a good time to buy GT plus Taigun or should go for creta2024 in similar price?
Taigun, solid feel plus the driving dynamics are incomparable. Has enough features to keep you satisfied.
Waiting for this video yesterday but it's never to late....
abhi Skoda ka #namethecar bhi chal rha hai, aaj ke time main sabse value for money product MG ki Astor ka base model hai, agar mere upar VW or /skoda ka bhoot na hota to 100% main Astor hi leta
VW should work on this sub 4 meter suv body style make it a hatchback and bring back the polo.
If they are not thinking of doing this... Well then what can we say 😶
1.0 mpi for active and ambition with 1.0 mpi with 1.0 tsi optional with AT same with Style under 12.5L
Fabia?
Octavia aane ka koi chances hain??
Agar CBU hain toh aur bhi badiya.. teh 2.0 cars ke quality issues se bachenge
They are very late in the game paaji! They should have done this long ago....but now that they are doing it I'm happy!

It will be a Fabia successor on stilts, which is a good thing.
Eagerly waiting for it 🤞
Skoda must lounch fabia in 1.5 under 4 meter. It will definitely hit competition. Coz till date there is big scope in hatchback segment
Make vedio on upcoming creata rival from ford
Video ka voice kharab he... 🎤 main problem hogi.
Sub 4 metre skoda car would cannibalize Kushaq and Slavia. Next Kushaq/Taigun update should increase size to match Creta/Seltos and add panoramic sunroof.
Sir, voice echo ho raha hai. Older vedios had a clear voice. Kindly take care of that 😊
It is same car which is in uk skoda kamiq and Volkswagen t cross
Aaj bhai apna bahut khush hai 👍😊

Sir main to Persian tha ki polo k baad kya lo ga Kyo ki vw or Skoda kabına aur kisi brand pe safety trust nayi kar sakta main thankful vw Skoda I waiting this car lunchtime I exited I am sure booking this car when booking start😊
jidar mai reh raha hu city me idr touareg w12 is common sighting
Paaji VW can give 1.5 tsi to compete with Hyundai N or N line.
I am still skeptical about this as they are already late to party. Also, this is a highly competitive sagement plus the car will launch in first half of 2025. Almost a year later. Till then who know how far competition has moved on.
Why not hatchback😢? Need a vw or skoda hatchback
if they can shrink < 4 , hatch is on the table ; only irony being when polo was there none bought it , hope it doesn't meet same fate . I remember fiat punto (gem of a car ) using same 1.3 diesel as swift but as was heavier than swift ( we know why :-) and none cared abut it and hence was discontinued . But since disposable income of indians have increased hope this marks a new begining for vag .. peace
While this sounds very interesting, I'm worried about some bad history: remember the polo cross and Ameo? Ameo even came with a TDI + DSG combo and I thought, given the lower wgt and same output, this car would be a best seller
Sir ye fix aanevali hai kya ???
Yes

It will definitely do well.
Will there be a SUV from the VW as well ?
No such news yet & I don’t think so
@@SunderdeepSingh Thank you, पाजी!
Can skoda still deliver its top-notch safety.. with forward crumple zones in under 4 meters.. yet maintain a competitive cabin space and boot space
Informative video, However Don't Let Camera Focus Ruin Your Video Quality ❤
Waiting for sub 4 mtr extremely vfm cars. Might sell my polo for this.
Paaji sound is echoing had to listen certain segments repeatedly
Once the new suv is launched, facelift the kushaq to be more premium something like t-roc, more variants, engine options and keep the sub 4 suv more affordable.
Yeah Paaaji 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Good strategy by Skoda
Bhai aapki Audio Quality improve kariye, next video mei....
Will it be called a Fabia??
NO.Starts with letter K
Every skoda suvs stars with letter k and ends with q
interesting
Taigun diesel sounds good 😊
good news for quality product lovers . This must bring the sales up . we wish VW group to rise more .
auto industry ka virat kohli ho aap.. dil khush hojata hai aapko dekh kar..
If Skoda/vw bring sub compact suv, than they must keep size equivalent to brezza/nexon. One of the lesser sales of kushaq/taigun is lower size compare to creta/seltos. Any indian client need proper 5 seater who invest 15 to 20 lacs
150 wala mic hi use karlete yaar
Agli videos dekhiye Rs 35000 wala kiya hai
Finally 😍
