A group of journalists from Autocar India borrowed a production Škoda Kylaq from Škoda Auto India and drove it from the car’s manufacturing plant in Pune all the way to Prague, 19,351 kilometres across 13 countries in 70 days.
The route passed through India, Nepal, China, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Georgia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Hungary, Austria, and the Czech Republic.
By the time the Kylaq reached Europe, Sorabjee noted it looked entirely at home alongside other Škoda models in traffic.
How the Car PerformedThe Kylaq used on the trip is a compact SUV measuring just under four metres in length.
