Skoda SUV : The new Skoda SUV is named Kylaq, which means crystal in Sanskrit, by Kasaragod’s Quran instructor
Skoda SUV : The next SUV from Skoda, which will be on sale in 2025, will be named after a 24-year-old Quran instructor in Kasaragod called Mohammed Ziyad. The vehicle will be less than four meters. The winner’s identity was revealed by Skoda India in an Instagram post.
“Mr. Mohammed Ziyad from Kerala is the winner of the brand-new #SkodaKylaq. Congratulations. When it launches the next year, he will be the first owner, the post said. Approximately two lakh persons entered the car’s naming competition. In another video, Skoda India said that the term “peak” served as the inspiration for the Sanskrit word “Kylaq,” which means “crystal.”

For the last two and a half years, Ziyad, an English graduate from the University of Calicut, has been a Quran instructor at Kasaragod’s Najath Quran Academy. “I’m not obsessed with cars. Ziyad said, “All I wanted was a vehicle, but my family’s circumstances don’t allow me to afford one.
He considered entering Skoda’s contest to name the next SUV when he saw it in February. Skoda stipulated that the name has to begin with K and conclude with Q. After giving it some thought for a few days, Ziyad—who completed his seven years of Islamic education at the al Marjan Institute for Hafazath al Quran at Chemmad in the Malappuram district—made a list of names beginning with K and Q before deciding on Kylaq. Additionally, he completed a one-year Islamic degree program at Kuttikatoor’s Jamia Yamaniyya Arabic College in Kozhikode.
Eight names were released for voting by Skoda India last week: Kwiq, Kylaq, Kosmiq, Kyroq, Kariq, Karmiq, Kliq, and Kayaq.
Five names were chosen: Kwiq, Kylaq, Kosmiq, Kliq, and Kayaq based on the voting results.
Ziyad received a call from Skoda India two days earlier informing him that his name had been chosen. “Why? You’re not going to believe that,” the executive questioned. The executive said, “Check out the Skoda India Instagram account.”
“My name appeared when I checked. Kerala, Mohammed Ziyad,” he said.
Alongside the Suzuki Brezza, Tata Nexon, KIA Sonet, and Mahindra XUV300, Kylaq will compete for space. Ten fans will also go to Prague as part of the competition, thanks to Skoda India. Rajesh Sudhakaran is a resident of Kottayam.
The remaining nine are Charan from Hyderabad, Arcchana Chalavadi from Chennai, Santhosh Joghee (X: Santhoshjoghee), Elaine B (FB: elainesue.baptista), Varun Vasisht (Instagram: Varun_Solotraveller), and Priyanka Chinchorkar, Saurabh Tandon (FB: Saurabh.tandon.311), Jaydeep Sarahiya (Insta: Jaydeepsarahiya), and Akilesh Srikantaiah (X: AkileshNrn) are all from Pune.
