Skoda Kylaq comes for 2025 as the most budget-friendly five-seat SUV to combine a sporty attitude with best-in-class safety and practicality in the real world. Built for everyday commuters who will not settle, it takes European flair and loads tried-and-tested hardware to make each trip to office, school or highway easy and safe for families everywhere.
Powertrain: What Propels the Kylaq
At its most unassuming under the bonnet is Skoda’s 1.0‑litre petrol engine. It makes a respectable 114 bhp and 178 Nm of torque. The motor is fleet of foot in urban traffic but sufficient for unhurried motorway cruising. Customers may opt for either a slick-shifting six-speed manual or a seamless automatic six-speed gearbox. Both gearboxes keep the engine where it likes to be, its sweet spot, with brisk acceleration without trouble. The balanced tune makes the Kylaq a strong performer for everyday errands as well as weekend getaways.
Efficiency on the Road
While its dynamic character, it is remarkably frugal. Skoda quotes an economy of around 18 km per litre, which should delight fuel-conscious owners who cover a lot of mileage daily. The configuration of small displacement, intelligent gearing and modest aerodynamics assists the SUV in milking every ounce of petrol yet still providing lively responses to the throttle.
Tech, Comfort and Safety Highlights
Step in and a high-end dual-screen dashboard welcomes the driver, combining sharp graphics with easy‑to‑use menus. Bluetooth, a full‑feature air‑conditioner, Android Auto and Apple connectivity, wireless charging and well‑cushioned seats add comfort to regular commutes. A panoramic sunroof creates an airy feel to the interior. Safety is still the Kylaq’s best suit: six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, hill‑hold assist, tyre‑pressure monitoring and ISOFIX child‑seat mounts are all part of the package. Its recently acquired five‑star Global NCAP rating further reinforces Skoda’s uncompromising approach to protecting passengers.
Price Range and Current Offers
The Kylaq’s value proposition begins at only ₹8.25 lakh (ex‑showroom) for the base variant, while the top-of-the-line trim reaches approximately ₹13.99 lakh (ex‑showroom). Placing the SUV in this range, Skoda makes safety, style and robust performance affordable for a wide range of Indian consumers seeking an upgrade in 2025.
