Skoda India has teamed up with Zepto, the quick-commerce giant, to introduce a hassle-free test drive experience for its upcoming Kylaq SUV. While Zepto is known for delivering groceries and essentials in minutes, this collaboration aims to revolutionize the automotive space by offering test drives at the customer’s convenience—without the need to visit a showroom or wait in long queues.

A teaser campaign from Skoda and Zepto recently sparked curiosity online, with many wondering if they could order a brand-new Kylaq at the tap of a button. While home delivery of the SUV isn’t on the cards, customers can now request a personalized test drive that comes straight to their doorstep. This initiative aligns with the growing demand for seamless, on-demand experiences in the automotive industry, where convenience plays a key role in customer decision-making.
Skoda aims to deliver 33,000 units of the Kylaq by May, focusing on higher-spec variants for quicker dispatch. The entry-level Classic trim faces the longest waiting period, stretching up to four months, as it is offered only with a manual gearbox and comes in limited color options. Meanwhile, the mid-range Signature trim has a 3-4 month waiting period, depending on the chosen color. Customers opting for the top-end Signature+ and Prestige trims can expect faster deliveries within 2-3 months, regardless of the gearbox or color preference.

The Kylaq is priced from Rs 7.89 lakh to Rs 14.40 lakh (ex-showroom) and is powered by a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 115hp and 178Nm of torque.

Safety remains a priority, with six airbags offered as standard, and the SUV recently achieving a 5-star Bharat NCAP safety rating. Higher trims come equipped with premium features such as a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 8-inch digital instrument cluster, ventilated power seats, sunroof, ambient lighting, and wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto.
