Skoda Kylaq Review : 7 Pros & 6 Cons

Skoda is betting big on the Kylaq and rightly so. They’ve managed to pack all the good things from the bigger Kushaq in a slightly smaller package.

Skoda Kylaq Pros

  • A well-rounded Compact SUV that gives you mini-Kushaq vibes. Solid build too
  • Good-looking cabin with supportive seats, sorted ergonomics and decent space
  • 114 BHP, 1.0L TSI engine with 6MT or 6AT offers peppy performance
  • Sorted suspension delivers a balanced ride & handling package
  • 446 litres of boot space (boot floor to roof) is sufficiently sized for a family’s weekend getaway
  • 5-star BNCAP safety rating! Equipped with 6 airbags, ESC, 3-point seatbelts for all, electronic differential lock, brake disc wiping, multi-collision brake and more
  • Feature list includes ventilated front seats with 6-way electric adjustment, automatic headlamps, automatic wipers, auto-dimming IRVM, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, wireless phone charging, ambient lighting and a sunroof

Skoda Kylaq Cons

  • Just one engine on offer. No diesel, no CNG, no electric, no 1.5L petrol like the Kushaq
  • Interior quality doesn’t feel up to old-school Skoda standards
  • Mediocre 4 speaker + 2 tweeter sound system. Competition offers a better sound experience
  • Missing some features like the 360-degree view camera, subwoofer, driving modes, ADAS…
  • Narrow width makes a 5th adult completely unwelcome. Best for 4 adults onboard
  • Skoda’s after-sales service can be a hit or miss. The brand’s long-term reliability can be patchy as well
