The Skoda Kylaq will be an all-new product from the automaker in our market under its ‘India 2.5’ which is set to make its global debut on November 6. The Kylaq will serve as an entry-level offering and the most affordable SUV from the Czech automaker in India. Ahead of its global debut, a test mule of the Kylaq was spotted again, this time in a base-spec variant.
What’s Noticeable?
The latest spy images provide the first glimpse inside the cabin of the base-spec variant of the Kylaq. It features a 2-spoke steering wheel, an analogue instrument cluster, and a gear lever that appears identical to the one found in the Skoda Slavia and Skoda Kushaq. Being a base-spec variant, it did not feature any touchscreen unit.
It features a split headlight setup, with the headlights positioned below the DRLs. The test mule was equipped with 16-inch wheels with black covers, and it lacked a rear wiper and rear defogger, clearly indicating that it was a base-spec variant.
