Skoda Kylaq: Overview

The Kylaq is Skoda’s first sub-4m SUV, and it looks like a mini-Kushaq from its silhouette. That being said, it does get new styling elements in the form of the split LED headlights and DRLs. The grille carries the signature Skoda styling with its butterfly-like design and it sits on fresh 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels in profile. Roof rails and the chunky side cladding give it a rugged look, while the rear skid plate contemplates that styling form.

While the exterior boasts some similarities to the Kushaq, the interior is basically nearly identical to the bigger SUV. However, there’s a different dualtone black and grey cabin theme on offer, which also gets a few contrasting elements.

As for the creature comforts, the list includes 10-inch touchscreen infotainment screen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, an 8-inch digital driver’s display, automatic climate control with rear AC vents, powered and ventilated front seats, keyless entry and a sunroof. 

Its safety kit comprises 6 airbags as standard fitment, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), ABS with EBD, electronic stability control (ESC), hill-hold assist and a reverse parking camera with sensors.

Similarities with the Kushaq continue under the hood where it gets the same 1-litre turbo-petrol engine, which has an output of up to 115 PS and 178 Nm. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed torque-converter transmission.

When launched, the Skoda Kylaq will rival the likes of Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Tata Nexon, and Mahindra XUV 3XO.
