SKODA KYLAQ - Sub-4 Metre STAR - SPECIAL FEATURE
The sub-4 metre SUV segment is brimming with a lot of options but lacks a certain flair that brand value brings to the table. Enter Skoda with its decade-old legacy and premium brand value as they fill that void with the Kylaq. A compact SUV with all the features and creature comforts today's customers appreciate, and that's not all. The edge here belongs to the 1.0 l TSI petrol engine which powers its elder sibling, the Kushaq.
In terms of looks, the Kylaq delivers a strong muscular aura about itself with the black grille, complimented with LED headlamps and DRLs, LED tail lamps, 17-inch wheels and high ground clearance all of which culminate to make an image of an all-rounder the Kylaq promises to be. The Kylaq is a debutant in the New Modern Solid design language of Skoda and also the first car to feature the new Skoda wordmark in the rear.
Built on the same MQB-A0 platform as the Kushaq and the Slavia with the same 1.0l TSI petrol engine the Kushaq has, the Kylaq delivers 115 PS of power and 178 Nm of peak torque. Skoda has always been serious about safety, and the Kylaq brings with it just that. With 6 airbags, ABS, ESC with EBD, electronic differential lock, headrests for all and 25 safety features as standard make the Kylaq a safe space for everyone in it. You could say that Skoda has kept the crux of the matter pretty solid and reliable.
In terms of value proposition, the Kylaq shines bright. Priced at 7.89 lakh onwards the Kylaq opens doors to a price range where it gets its buyers features and tech which you only get to see in more expensive cars. Features like electronically adjustable and ventilated seats for the driver and front passenger, cruise control, paddle shifters, a 25.6 cm infotainment screen with digital cockpit, rear AC vents and other clever features are the ones to look forward to, not to forget the sunroof.
The Kylaq boasts of great features and performance but that isn't just on paper. There have been tons of testing done on the Kylaq to make it the way it is. It has been tested through over 800,000 km of Indian Terrain, across extreme altitudes, weather and temperature. This distance is actually more than the distance it requires to travel to the moon and back and also circumnavigate the earth 20 times. Not just that the Kylaq has spent two years in open-air weather to determine the durability of every part. All this resulted in great performance, durability, and cabin comfort with noise cancellation. It's safe to say that no corners were cut.
Now it's a Skoda so peace of mind is an essential element and cannot be overlooked. Skoda offers a 3-year or 1, 00,000 km (whichever is earlier) warranty package along with a 6-year anti-corrosion warranty as standard with every Kylaq. Now with introductory offers, you can also get a complimentary 3-year maintenance package bringing down the maintenance cost to as low as Rs 0.24/ Km. Just make sure you are among the first 33,333 people to book the car.
Summing it all up the Kylaq gets you a powerful TSI engine, great performance and driving dynamics, segment-leading features, is really safe and looks muscular with a premium brand badge. And all this at the price range of 7.89 to 14.40 lakhs. This should be reason enough to get your Kylaq home soon. However, make it sooner to be among the first 33,333 customers to avail the exciting benefits.
