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.

The SUV comes in at 3,995mm long, 1,783mm wide, and stands at 1,619mm tall. It’s built on a 2,566mm wheelbase. With a ground clearance of 189mm, it provides 446 liters of boot space. You can expand this to 1,265 liters by folding down the rear split seats.

Skoda Kylaq SUV: Powertrain
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.
