Skoda’s Creta Rival Coming Sooner Than Expected

Skoda Auto India is ready to enter into the mid-size SUV segment with the all-new Vision IN concept based model.

Speculations are on rife that the new Skoda SUV might be named ‘Kliq’ or ‘Kosmiq’. The Skoda Vision IN SUV will be the first model to roll out under the brand’s 2.0 strategy for India.

It’s a locally-developed platform that’s claimed to combine “an optimum amount of space…the highest degree of versatility and state of the art technologies”.
