    Base variants of both SUVs come at similar pricing and get the basics sorted. But one of these clearly outshines the other

    The Skoda Kylaq debuted as the Czech carmaker’s most affordable offering in India with prices starting at Rs 7.89 lakh (introductory ex-showroom, pan-India). At this price point, it is a rival to the base variants of other popular sub-4m SUVs like the Hyundai Venue and Mahindra XUV 3XO. Today, we compare the base-spec Kylaq Classic with Venue E to see which entry-level variant is the better option.

    While the length of both SUVs is the same, the Kylaq is larger than the Venue in all the other aspects. That said, the Kylaq has a 66 mm larger wheelbase than the Venue, meaning that the legroom inside the Skoda offering is likely to be marginally better than its Hyundai rival.

    Skoda has been associated with an enthusiastic driving experience and the Kylaq is no different. This is the same story with the Kylaq which comes with the Kushaq’s smaller 1-litre turbo-petrol engine that produces 33 PS and 64 Nm more than the Venue’s 1.2-litre engine. Both sub-4m SUVs come with manual transmissions only, but the Kylaq has a 6-speed manual shifter.

    Verdict

    Skoda Kylaq rear

    The Kylaq Classic, on the other hand, has a longer wheelbase, a more potent and enthusiast-catering drive experience and premium features like all-LED lighting setup. The feature suite, although basic, is better than the corresponding variant of the Venue. And you get all this by paying Rs 5,000 less than the price of the base-spec variant of the Hyundai SUV.
