Skoda Kylaq

The Kylaq will be Skoda’s first-ever attempt at the sub-compact SUV segment, and it will be based on the MQB-A0-IN platform that also underpins its larger sibling, the Kushaq. However, to slip under the 4-meter length, the Kylaq will have a shorter wheelbase than the Kushaq. Skoda says it will be the first model to bring the new ‘Modern Solid’ design language to India, but isn’t likely to stray too far away from the Kushaq to maintain a family look; the interior, too, is expected to be largely carried over. The Kylaq will be powered by the familiar 1.0-litre TSI turbo-petrol engine which will come with 6-speed MT and AT gearboxes. We expect prices to range between Rs 8 lakh – Rs 15 lakh, ex-showroom.
