Skoda Kylaq waiting period details

In the first phase, Skoda plans to deliver 33,000 units of the Kylaq by May, 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 four months; this trim is only available with a manual gearbox and limited colour options.

The mid Signature trim has an average waiting period of 3-4 months for both MT and AT variants, but it varies based on the colour. The top Signature+ and Prestige trims are most readily available with an average waiting period of 2-3 months, irrespective of the colour or gearbox.

Skoda had temporarily stopped taking orders for the Classic trim in the first batch, and it reopened bookings only recently. However, deliveries of these bookings are only expected in the second batch.
