I test drove a Skoda Kylaq; It feels like a more practical Polo

Test drove the Skoda Kylaq Prestige MT and here are some of my observations:

BHPian WhiteWolf recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

• The car felt solid and looks great in the flesh.
• The car is dynamically sorted (easily the best in segment) and 3 cylinder felt refined even when compared to the i20 and TAIGUN GT that we have .
• Space felt adequate and the boot somehow looks more accommodating than the TAIGUN.
• Needs a new better equipped variant between the signature and signature plus as the price difference is pretty big between the two variants.
• The interior might not be as flashy say the SYROS but in no way feels void of features(at-least the top variant).
• The top variants could have been priced a little more aggressively as it still misses out on 360 degree camera.
• Coming to the rear view camera, high time for the SKODA-VW group to remove that atrocious camera and replace it with a good quality one in all the SKODA-VW group cars.
• Also test drove the ELEVATE just after the KYLAQ and was impressed to see that the 3 cylinder after idling is pretty refined and definitely feels faster than the HONDA.
• The engine has some turbo lag but once the turbo spools up it is fun to drive with a sporty note from the engine higher in the rev band.

Overall a great offering from Skoda, they just need to sort the variants in order to make the car more attractive. It is basically a practical polo with features and more space at the back.

Looking forward for the Volkswagen sibling of the KYLAQ.

Cheers
