Kathmandu. Skoda Nepal has officially launched the much-awaited Skoda Kaylock today. This marks a significant milestone for the brand in the SUV segment.

The launch event held at Chandragiri Hills was attended by the company’s leadership, business partners, influencers, and media persons, reflecting the enthusiasm for the model in Nepal.

The event was inaugurated by Mr. Vishnu Kumar Agrawal, Chairman of MAW Group and Mr. Raunak Agrawal, Executive Director of MAW Xpanze Pvt. Ltd. He also highlighted the suitability of the project for Nepal’s diverse road conditions.

At the event, the Kayalak was presented as a suitable SUV not only for the city but also for the highway and hilly roads. This has further strengthened its identity as a vehicle made for real Nepali roads.

Designed for easy city use, comfortable ride on the highway and confident performance on hill roads, the ŠKODA Kaylāc offers a strong road presence and smooth driving experience despite being compact in size. Powered by a turbocharged petrol engine that delivers 178 Nm of torque and 115 hp, the Kayla is one of the best-in-segment vehicles.

It provides smooth overtaking, strong uphill climbs, and ease in daily travel. Its balanced power delivery ensures controlled performance on uphill, gravel roads and uncertain surfaces. This makes it very suitable for Nepal’s diverse landscape.

Now available from Rs 45 lakh to Rs 90 lakh, Kayalak has enhanced high performance, safety and premium build quality to a wider customer base. A key highlight in this lineup is the Skoda Kayalq Automatic, which starts from INR 52 lakh to INR 90 lakh and offers smooth, powerful and stress-free driving experience, especially in traffic and uphill terrain.

Based on Skoda’s evergreen five-star safety engineering, the Kaylak puts passenger safety as the highest priority. The five-star safety ratings obtained in global crash test programs like Euro NCAP and Bharat NCAP have been winning the trust of customers over the years. The kaylak has been tested in challenging terrains like Manang, Dhorpatan and Tinjure at an altitude of 3,756 meters, proving its capabilities in real terms.

With over 50,000 units sold in its first year of launch, Kaylak has won accolades including “Car of the Year 2025” from AutoX, Jagran HiTeach, Car & Bike Awards and Motor Subscribe, validating its overall performance, design and value.

Mr. Vishnu Agrawal said, “The Skoda Kayalak is a vehicle that gives confidence and control on every road. It has been engineered keeping in mind Nepal’s precarious road conditions, where its power can actually be used. ’

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Raunak Aggarwal added, “Kayalak offers premium engineering, powerful performance and a stress-free ownership experience from city roads to hilly roads. ’

With the official launch, the Skoda Kaylak establishes itself as an automatic SUV that combines power, terrain capability and confidence, truly made for the uncertain roads of Nepal.
