Design Highlights: Kushaq Connection with Unique Twists

The rugged look is further enhanced by 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, side body cladding, and roof rails.
Rear Styling
At the rear, the SUV sports wraparound LED tail lamps with an inverted L-shaped element. A blacked-out bumper paired with a silver skid plate completes its sporty and robust design.
Interior: Familiar Yet Premium
The Kylaq’s cabin exudes a premium vibe with its dual-tone black and grey theme and shared design elements from the Kushaq, including the AC vents and center console layout. Key highlights include:
- Black leatherette upholstery
- A 2-spoke steering wheel wrapped in leatherette
- 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- 8-inch digital driver’s display
- Wireless phone charging
- Ventilated front seats with 6-way power adjustability

Engine and Transmission Options
The Skoda Kylaq is powered by a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, offering 115 PS of power and 178 Nm of torque. Customers can choose between:

Competition
The Kylaq competes in the highly competitive subcompact SUV segment against models like the Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV300, Renault Kiger, and Nissan Magnite. It can also serve as an alternative to crossovers such as the Maruti Fronx and Toyota Taisor.
