Powertrain and Performance
When it comes to the engine, the Kylaq is powered by the well-known VW Group 1.0-liter TSI turbo-petrol engine that Skoda and VW use in India. This engine delivers 114 horsepower and 178 Nm of torque at its peak. The power is transmitted to the front wheels through a standard 6-speed manual gearbox. However, buyers have the choice of a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission. Skoda states that the Kylaq can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.5 seconds.

Skoda Kylaq SUV: Exterior Design
The Kylaq model from Skoda keeps in line with their recognizable design. You’ll notice the iconic butterfly grille, sleek in piano black. On either side, there are two sets of lights: narrow LED DRLs up top and projector LED headlights below. The front bumper stands out with a sizeable central air vent and a faux silver skid plate at the bottom. The car’s profile is sleek with clean lines and slightly squared wheel arches that hold the big 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels on the higher-end models.
Shifting the focus to the back, the design of this vehicle resembles the bigger Kushaq. However, it sports more straightforward square taillights linked by a black trim strip. The rear bumper is beefed up with plenty of cladding and a noticeable skid plate. You have a choice of six paint colors: Carbon Steel, Candy White, Olive Gold, Lava Blue, Tornado Red, and Brilliant Silver.
