Kathmandu: Škoda has successfully tested the Škoda Kylaq across some of Nepal’s most demanding routes, including Manang, Dhorpatan, and Tinjure. Known for steep gradients, broken road surfaces, sharp hairpin bends, and rapidly shifting weather conditions, these regions present challenges that test both driver confidence and vehicle capability. By navigating these terrains, Škoda has demonstrated the Kylaq’s readiness for Nepal’s real-world road conditions.

High-altitude routes such as Manang and Dhorpatan are widely regarded as difficult even before the journey begins. Long uphill stretches, loose gravel surfaces, and unpredictable road sections often cause vehicles to struggle, sometimes forcing drivers to turn back or seek alternative transportation. During testing conducted by Škoda Nepal, the Kylaq showcased strong power delivery and dependable traction, completing demanding climbs with steady progress and composure.

Beyond mechanical performance, the journeys also highlighted the emotional reassurance that capability can bring. In Manang, as altitude increased and the mountain silence deepened, the Kylaq’s steady pull uphill offered confidence. In the raw, isolated terrain of Dhorpatan, reliable cold starts and stable handling provided comfort in harsh conditions. In mist-covered Tinjure, where fog narrows visibility and uncertainty rises, firm control replaced hesitation with calm assurance. These were not merely test drives, but demonstrations of reliability transforming challenging terrain into memorable travel experiences.

On a recent episode of The FAB Show aired on Himalaya TV, travel vlogger Manish Ruchal from the Ghumante team shared his Dhorpatan journey in the Škoda Kylaq, stating: “Even on the challenging roads of Dhorpatan, our confidence never wavered. The vehicle’s impressive torque and power handled every obstacle effortlessly, turning the journey into an unforgettable experience.”

Built on Škoda’s European engineering foundation, the Kylaq delivers stable handling, confident grip, and consistent performance across changing road conditions. The SUV is designed not only for urban mobility but also for the mountainous highways and remote landscapes that define Nepal’s geography.

A key contributor to this capability is the Kylaq’s automatic transmission option. The torque converter automatic system used in the automatic variant is recognized for its smoothness, durability, and reliability. Gear shifts remain seamless without jerks or hesitation, making it well-suited for city traffic while also delivering confident acceleration and steady cruising on highways and steep inclines.

With the tagline “Power for the Peaks,” the Škoda Kylaq positions itself as an automatic SUV engineered for Nepal’s unpredictable roads. As anticipation builds around its arrival in Nepal, the vehicle’s successful testing across Manang, Dhorpatan, and Tinjure continues to strengthen buyer confidence. For drivers seeking comfort, control, and reliability in one package, the Kylaq is emerging as an SUV prepared for Nepal’s toughest journeys and everyday drives alike.
