Skoda Kylaq

Skoda is entering the sub-4m SUV market with Kylaq. We have seen it tested multiple times, and its manufacturer has confirmed some of its features, engine specs, and dimensions. Here is everything you need to know about the Kylaq that Skoda is going to present globally tomorrow.

1. Design

It boasts a split headlamp setup and the familiar butterfly grille of other Skoda models. The profile features blacked-out 17-inch alloy wheels along with roof rails. It has further differentiated itself from the Kushaq at the back with wrap-around LED tail lamps and its distinctive features. Below are the Kylaq\'s dimensions unveiled by Skoda so far.

It\'ll feature a dual-tone premium-feeling interior with piano black inserts on the centre console and dashboard. Anticipated features will include a leather interior as well as a two-spoke steering wheel. The base model of the Kylaq was recently spied on to give a glimpse inside.

3. Features

From the reports, confirmed to be integrated into the Skoda Kylaq are a multi-collision braking system, six airbags standard, and electrically adjustable ventilated front-row seats. Other components of the Kylaq will include a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment panel with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a single-pane sunroof, and a digital driver\'s display measuring 8 inches. Other features are likely to include keyless entry with push-button start/stop, along with automatic temperature control inside. Its safety features will likely include features like a rear camera, ABS, EBD, electronic stability control, and TPMS.

4. Engine Specific

The 1-litre turbo-petrol engine that delivers 115 PS and 178 Nm will power the Kylaq. Both 6-speed manual and 6-speed torque-convertor automatic transmissions will be on offer

5. Color

The five colour schemes that Skoda Kylaq will include Tornado Red, Olive Gold, Carbon Steel, Candy White, and Brilliant Silver. There would be four trims available for this small SUV: Classic, Signature, Signature+, and Prestige.

6. Safety

The Kylaq packs all the safety features we would expect from a Skoda vehicle. Going first, it is based on the MQB-AO-IN platform, just like Slavia and Kushaq are from Skoda. In terms of safety fittings, it promises traction control, a multi-collision braking system, a rear parking sensor, a 360-degree camera, six airbags (standard), and even tyre-pressure monitoring technology.

7. Expected Rivals and Price

The Skoda Kylaq price is likely to be around Rs 8.50 lakh ex-showroom. The Kylaq is most probably going to enter the market in early 2025, and the date of its debut in India has not been finalized yet. Once it is launched, it will face tough competition with others such as Toyota Taisor, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Mahindra XUV 3XO, and Tata Nexon.

Conclusion

The Skoda Kylaq will set its mark in the Indian market considering its very low cost and impeccable craft of Skoda. The essential features, robust safety package, and affordable price are ideal for most customers, so it\'s on a must-have list. It will attract budget-conscious buyers seeking reliability along with sophistication because of its turbocharged engine and strong tech options.
