Skoda Auto India is entering the fiercely competitive subcompact SUV market, which features numerous well-established models such as the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue, and Mahindra XUV 3OO, among others. The new Kylaq faces significant challenges if it aims to distinguish itself in this crowded field.

The Skoda Kylaq features several components in its interior that are also found in the Kushaq. This SUV is equipped with a Virtual Cockpit and a touchscreen infotainment system. While competitors provide a variety of engine choices, including petrol, diesel, CNG, and electric options, the Skoda Kylaq will be offered with a single 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine, delivering 113 bhp and 179 Nm of peak torque. This engine is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed torque converter. Notably, this is the same engine utilized in the Skoda Kushaq 1.0 TSI variant.
