Conclusion

Although not completely loaded, the base variant of the Skoda Kylaq does come with a decent set of features. However, it is missing an infotainment, which is a bit of a let-down.

For Rs 1.7 Lakh more, the Signature trim offers a couple of more features above the base variant. Surprisingly, this variant does not offer a rear-view camera despite having decent infotainment. Rear AC vents, wired phone mirroring, and a cooled glove box are welcome features on this variant.

The Signature+ trim costs Rs 1.81 lakh more than the previous variant and offers more comfort and convenience features than the Signature. The top-spec variant costs almost Rs 2 lakh more than the previous trim. However, it offers all the bells and whistles, including ventilated seats, a sunroof, leatherette upholstery, and more.

We feel the mid-spec Signature offers the best value for money packed with all essential features. However, if you are considering making the jump, to get the most value, the Signature + is also a good option at Rs. 1.81 lakh more.

Do let us know what you think is the most value-for-money variant and also if you had to buy the Skoda Kylaq, which variant would you pick?
