Skoda Kylaq waiting period details
In the first phase, Skoda plans to deliver 33,000 units of Kylaq by May this year, with a majority of the production earmarked for the higher-spec variants. Naturally, the base Classic trim has the highest waiting period of up to a maximum of 4 months; this trim is only available with a manual gearbox and limited colour options.
The second-from base Signature trim has an average waiting period of 3-4 months for both MT and AT variants, but it varies as per the colour. The top two Signature+ and Prestige trims are most readily available with an average waiting period of 2-3 months, irrespective of the colour or gearbox.
