Can Skoda Kylaq tame sub-compact champions? Here are five promised highlights
- The upcoming Skoda Kylaq is a sub-four-metre SUV that will be pitted against the likes of the Sonet, Nexon, and the Brezza. It is the second car from the Czech manufacturer to be built specifically for the Indian market.
Skoda Kylaq is going to be unveiled on November 6 and is expected to launch next year. It is going to be built on the same platform that is underneath the Kushaq and the Slavia, two cars from the Czech manufacturer that scored a five-star safety rating in the Global New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP). With this, the Kylaq becomes the second model that is built for the Indian market, and it is going to enter the sub-four-metre segment as a formidable rival to the likes of the Tata Nexon and the Maruti Suzuki Brezza. If you are interested in the upcoming Skoda Kylaq, you should take a look at these five expected highlights:
While the upcoming Skoda Kylaq has only been showcased underneath a vibrant green camouflage, there are some details that we can still spot. The car gets LED treatment all around with projector headlamps positioned below slim DRL units. The rear taillights get an inverted L-shaped LED signature and the car gets LED indicators on its ORVMs. The Kylaq will be available with roof rails and Skoda is going to offer both 16-inch and 17-inch alloy wheel options.
The car is equipped with the tried and tested 1.0 TSI engine, which can be paired with either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission. This engine is capable of producing 114 bhp of power and 178 Nm of torque.
In 2021, Skoda introduced the MQB-A0-IN platform, tailored specifically for the Indian market, which proved to be a significant success for the manufacturer. The Kushaq became the inaugural car to be manufactured on this platform, followed by the Slavia in 2022. The German automaker is now poised to debut the Kylaq as the third vehicle on this platform.
The Kylaq is expected to come with the latest features that are available in the sub-four-metre category. These features include a large touchscreen infotainment system which is compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Skoda is expected to bring automatic climate control with rear AC vents. Front-row passengers can hope to be treated with six-way adjustable and ventilated seats,, and the driver gets an individual digital instrument cluster.
