It was recently reported that a new Skoda sub-4m SUV built in India will be on sale in March 2025. Though the Czech automaker has invited fans to participate in this process, the new offering’s name has not yet been determined. It has launched a naming competition where anyone may enter and offer a name for the upcoming Skoda SUV.
Specifics Regarding The Competition
The new name must only have one or two syllables and start and finish with the letters “K” and “Q.” Enter now through April 12, 2024, via the sweepstakes website or by utilizing the hashtag #NameYourSkoda on its official social media accounts. Ten fortunate winners will receive a trip to Prague courtesy of Skoda, and one winner will have the opportunity to take home the brand-new Skoda SUV.
Additionally, Skoda has narrowed down a shortlist of names for its next sub-4 million SUV. The names and their meanings are presented below:
- Designed to inspire, the Skoda Kariq is named after the Hindi term “Kaarigar.”
- Originating from the English term “quick,” Skoda Kwiq stands for “power and intelligence in harmony.”
- Timeless elegance, or Skoda Kylaq, is derived from the Sanskrit term “Kailasa.”
- Precious like you, Skoda Kymaq is derived from the Hawaiian term Kaimana.
- Designed to rule, Skoda Kyroq is derived from the Greek term “Kyrios.”
Consistent with Its Naming Style
Since the automaker has been using this system of nomenclature for some time, their SUV lineup includes models like the Kushaq, Kodiaq, and Karoq, whose names start and end with the letters “K” and “Q,” respectively.
An Overview of the New SUV
The Kushaq compact SUV and the yet-to-be-named SUV will use the same MQB-A0-IN platform, although the dimensions of the latter will be altered to comply with sub-4m market regulations. With a large touchscreen, a sunroof, and a digital driver display, we anticipate it to be a well-equipped vehicle.
We anticipate comparable levels of safety from the new SUV because it will be supported by Kushaq’s MQB-A0-IN platform, which has a 5-star rating in the Global NCAP crash tests. A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), electronic stability control (ESC), and six airbags are among the anticipated safety features.
What will give it power?
To capitalize on the tax advantages of the market, Skoda is anticipated to provide it with the smaller 1-liter turbo-petrol engine (115 PS/178 Nm) from the Kushaq. It may be available with a 6-speed manual or an automatic transmission.
Rivals And Expected Price
Starting at Rs 8.50 lakh (ex-showroom), we predict the Skoda sub-4m SUV will be available. It will compete against the Maruti Brezza, Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue, Mahindra XUV300, Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, and Maruti Fronx sub-4 million crossover.
