Skoda Auto India entered the sub compact SUV market with the Kylaq. The Skoda Kylaq is priced between ₹7.89 lakh and ₹14.40 lakh, ex-showroom, and competes with the likes of Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Tata Nexon, Maruti Suzuki Brezza and others.

The Skoda Kylaq will be available across four trim levels, Classic, Signature, Signature Plus and Prestige. All the variants of the Kylaq will be powered by the 1.0 litre three cylinder TSI petrol unit which also powers the other India 2.0 project cars including the Skoda Kushaq. However, unlike the Kushaq and the Slavia, the Kylaq won’t get the 1.5 litre TSI petrol engine. The 1.0 litre petrol engine in the Kylaq produces 114 bhp of peak power and 178 Nm of maximum torque.

While for the higher end variants, this engine will be paired with either a six speed manual transmission or a six speed automatic transmission, the base Classic variant of the sub compact SUV will only be available with the manual transmission. Here’s what each of the variants of the Kylaq offer.

Skoda Kylaq: Classic

The Skoda Kylaq's base variant, Classic, packs in a good features list, given its price. On the outside, it gets 16 inch steel wheels with plastic covers along with body coloured ORVMs. On the inside, while there is no infotainment system, the Kylaq Classic gets manual air conditioning, rear AC vents, analogue dials with a digital multi-information display (MID) and a front centre armrest.

It further gets power windows for all four windows, central locking, auto engine start-stop function, tilt-adjustable steering, powered wing mirrors, fabric seats and a 12V charging socket in the front.

In terms of safety features, the Skoda Kylaq Classic gets six airbags, ISOFIX anchors, three-point seat belts, adjustable headrests for all passengers and traction control.

Skoda Kylaq: Signature

The second to base Signature variant gets a fairly updated suite of features over the Classic trim level. It gets a dual tone interior finished in black and grey along with features like 5-inch touchscreen infotainment system, TPMS, rear defogger, chrome accents, front AC vents with USB Type-C ports, steering-mounted controls, a rear parcel shelf, and two tweeters. The AC vents in the Signature variant come with chrome detailing. The variant also gets 16-inch alloy wheels instead of standard steel wheels.
