For starters, it gets Skoda’s signature butterfly grille with vertical slats flanked by a split LED headlamp setup. Like all Skodas, the side profile of the Kylag remains clean and understated. The car appears to ride on 16-inch all-black alloy wheels. The rear end is not visible. Other visual highlights include black roof rails, sunroof, blacked-out pillars, and an upright bonnet.
In terms of features, the Kylaq is expected to come equipped with a touchscreen infotainment system, a digital instrument console, wireless smartphone connectivity, ambient lighting, automatic climate control, and 360-degree camera to name a few.
Powering the Kylaq will be a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine that performs duties on the Kushaq as well as Slavia. This petrol mill kicks out 114 bhp and 175 Nm of peak torque. The engine will be paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.
To fuel the momentum and strengthen its long-term vision for the market, Škoda Auto is entering its New Era in India with its all-new compact SUV – Škoda Kylaq. The Škoda Kylaq will carry forward the Škoda DNA of superior driving dynamics, uncompromising safety and proven quality.
