Skoda Kylaq Features And Overview

The Skoda Kylaq is the brand's smallest SUV, a five seater that stops just under four metres long. It is also the cheapest way into a Skoda today, priced from ₹7.59 Lakh for the Classic to ₹13.09 Lakh for the Prestige Plus automatic, ex-showroom.

Every Kylaq uses the same 1.0 litre TSI turbo petrol, a three cylinder making 115 PS and 178 Nm. You pick a six speed manual or a six speed torque converter automatic, and the automatic costs exactly ₹1 Lakh more on every trim that offers it. Skoda quotes 19.31 kmpl for the manual and 19.05 kmpl for the automatic.

Safety is the strong point. Six airbags and stability control are standard on all thirteen variants, and the Kylaq holds a five star Bharat NCAP rating for both adults and children. The 446 litre boot is large for a sub-4-metre SUV, and Skoda quotes 189 mm of ground clearance.

The seven trims climb in small steps. The Classic Plus adds a sunroof and cruise control, the Signature brings the first touchscreen and alloy wheels, and the Signature Plus adds a rear camera, a digital cluster and push-button start. The Sportline is a sporty, darker take on the range, while the Prestige trims add ventilated front seats. For every step side by side, see how the seven Kylaq trims differ.

It suits a buyer who wants turbo petrol pull, strong safety and a big boot in a compact size. Road tax and insurance change the final figure a lot from state to state, so work out your Kylaq on-road cost for your city before you decide.
