If you’re looking for a compact SUV that feels strong on rough roads and comfortable inside the cabin, the Skoda Kylaq deserves your attention. It’s been designed with real-world Indian conditions in mind—without skipping on comfort, features, or safety. For buyers this June, ACKO Drive is offering additional savings of ₹67,000. That makes a strong case for putting this car on your list.
What Makes the Kylaq Different?
While most compact SUVs in India play it safe, the Kylaq dares to be different. It’s edgy without being excessive, practical without being plain, and premium without being overpriced. The vehicle is designed to look like a true SUV — upright stance, clean Skoda design cues, and a bold, ribbed front grille with crystalline LED headlights. It feels solid, like something designed for more than just the daily commute.
Smart Engineering for Indian Roads
The Kylaq uses Skoda’s India-specific MQB-A0-IN platform, which means it’s been tuned specifically for Indian road conditions. With a healthy 189mm ground clearance, reinforced underbody protection, and a wide stance for better high-speed stability, this SUV handles potholes and rough patches like a champ.
Whether you’re navigating a monsoon-soaked street or taking a family trip on the highway, the Kylaq’s turbocharged 1.0L TSI engine offers a sweet spot between fuel efficiency and punchy performance.
- 114 hp & 178 Nm torque
- Available in both 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic (torque converter)
- Up to 19.68 km/l ARAI-rated mileage
Class-Leading Interior That Feels a Segment Above
Step inside the Kylaq, and you’ll be met with a well-thought-out cabin that balances form and function. Skoda has included multiple clever touches, from smartphone pockets and coat hooks to smart ticket holders and a cooled glovebox. Top variants also come with:
- Virtual Cockpit
- 10.7” touchscreen infotainment with Škoda Play App Store
- Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- Wireless phone charger
- Electric sunroof with anti-pinch
- Ambient lighting and leatherette upholstery (Prestige variant)
Whether you’re driving solo or with family, it feels like a premium lounge on wheels, especially when paired with ventilated, power-adjustable front seats on higher trims.
Built for Indian Roads
The Kylaq is built on the India-specific MQB-A0-IN platform, meaning it’s tailored from the ground up for Indian road conditions. From unpredictable potholes to crowded city corners and occasional highway escapes, the Kylaq handles them all with confidence.
With a high ground clearance of 188mm and a stiff suspension setup, it provides both reassurance and ride quality over poor surfaces. The SUV silhouette isn’t just aesthetic; it gives you a commanding view and extra protection in heavy traffic and bad weather. It’s also compact enough (under 4 meters) to sneak through narrow lanes and fit into tight parking spots — a must for urban India.
Comfortable Inside and Out
Skoda has always prioritised occupant comfort, and the Kylaq continues this legacy. The seats are wide and well-bolstered and offer ample thigh and lumbar support, even on long drives. Thanks to a long wheelbase and clever cabin layout, rear passengers enjoy best-in-class legroom and headroom.
Features like rear AC vents, a rear centre armrest, two rear USB-C ports, and a 60:40 split rear seat make daily use practical and pleasant. There’s also ample storage, including a 385-litre boot, cooled glovebox, cup holders, and bottle holders in all four doors.
The Signature+ and Prestige variants add a touch of indulgence with leatherette upholstery, ventilated front seats, ambient lighting, and an electric sunroof.
Well-Planned Features
It thoughtfully integrates features that make a real difference in daily use. Skoda has focused not just on packing the SUV with technology, but making sure every bit of it is usable, intuitive, and reliable. Some of the standouts include:
- Rear wiper and washer – available from the base variant
- All four power windows with anti-pinch
- Auto-folding ORVMs with defogger
- Cruise Control (Signature and above)
- Rain-sensing wipers and auto headlamps (Prestige)
The boot gets practical touches like bag hooks and illumination, and even the entry-level Classic variant includes features like remote central locking and tilt and telescopic steering—a testament to Skoda’s focus on smart usability over flashy gimmicks.
Engine and Ride Quality
Under the hood, the Kylaq is powered by Skoda’s proven 1.0-litre 3-cylinder TSI engine, which delivers a fine balance of performance and efficiency:
Whether you choose the 6-speed manual or the 6-speed automatic (torque converter), the powertrain feels refined, punchy, and eager—ideal for city sprints and weekend getaways.
