We believe that the full price list of the Skoda Kylaq will be released on the day of opening of bookings, that's December 2. The Czech automaker could also use the Auto Expo or Bharat Mobility Show platform to reveal the price list and further details of the sub-4 meter SUV.
The Kylaq is powered by a tried & tested 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine that also powers the Kushaq and Slavia. This turbo petrol engine churns out 114bhp and 178Nm of torque. Transmission duties include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque convertor automatic as an optional. It is claimed to achieve 0-100kmph in just 10.5 seconds.
The Kylaq comes with several segment-leading features such as electrically adjustable driver and co-driver seats with ventilation function. The small SUV gets LED lighting system including LED projector headlamps with LED DRLs, and LED tail-lights. Other features include climate control, keyless entry, wireless phone charging, leatherette upholstery, cooled glovebox, an 8-inch digital driver's display, a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment unit, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
It is based on Volkswagen Group's MQB AO IN platform that underpins the Kushaq and Slavia. The SUV gets six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), an electronic differential lock, and ABS with EBD as safety features. It misses out 360-degree surround view camera and advanced driver assistance system (ADAS).
