Auto news India - Skoda Kylaq news

Primary additions in the Kia Sonet are focused on safety, but it also offers better convenience features

The Skoda Kylaq not only offers a bigger touchscreen and a fully digital instrument cluster but also features bigger alloy wheels compared to the Venue

The Kylaq is the most recent sub-4m SUV in India while the current-spec Maruti Brezza has been on sale since 2022. We find out which is the better subcompact SUV

The Kylaq only comes with a turbo-petrol engine, meanwhile the Nexon gets multiple powertrain options: turbo-petrol, diesel and CNG

Both the sub-4m SUVs were introduced in 2024 and are loaded with features, but the Kylaq offers some key features over the XUV 3XO, including a useful comfort and convenience amenity

The list ranges from creature comforts like ventilated front seats to safety tech such as a tyre pressure monitoring system, all of which are missing on Maruti’s sub-4m SUV

The Kylaq borrows features like a 10.1-inch touchscreen, an 8-inch driver’s display, a sunroof and a wireless phone charger from the bigger Kushaq

The Skoda sub-4m SUV not only has powertrain similarities with its larger Kushaq sibling but also takes some design inspiration inside and out

The Skoda Kylaq is being offered in four broad variants: Classic, Signature, Signature Plus, and Prestige

Apart from the launch of the Skoda Kylaq, this week also saw the unveiling of the 2024 Maruti Dzire

The Kylaq lies in the middle of its rivals in terms of size, and there is no parameter where it’s in the lead

It starts from Rs 7.89 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom), and is being offered in four variants: Classic, Signature, Signature Plus, and Prestige

The Skoda Kylaq is largely inspired by the Skoda Kushaq in terms of its specifications and feature set, but it features a different design

Unlike some of its segment rivals, the Kylaq is not available with a dual-tone roof option

The Kylaq’s bookings will open on December 2, 2024, while customer deliveries will start from January 27, 2025, shortly after its showcase at the upcoming Bharat Mobility Expo
