This will disrupt the market if Auto (Non-AMT) is available in base variant

Skoda Kylaq's full brochure is out. All variants detailed.

Most VFM seems Signature plus in AT trim.

As per the brochure, AT is not available in the base variant. It is only available from Signature variant onwards and I think Skoda might spring a pleasant surprise and price the Signature AT variant at 9.99, which in itself would be quite disrupting.

There is one more goofup I think. If you look closely, the button between left side ventilated seat button and hazard light button is not blank in the 3D visualiser. But in the photographs(you've attached), and in some of the demo cars we've seen, it's blank. Image below.

Re: Skoda Kylaq Pre-Production Camouflaged Car First Drive & Preview

My bad as VFM tag cannot be given till full price-list is out.
So, Signature Plus trim is nicely spec'd for a predominant city car except the rear wipe and wash. Hope Skoda prices it well.

Re: Skoda Kylaq Pre-Production Camouflaged Car First Drive & Preview

  • The Kylaq needs to be priced at least ₹3 to ₹3.5 lakh lower than the 3XO AX5L to be considered value for money (VFM). (16.75 in Bglr)
  • Mahindra has three times the dealer network compared to Skoda, rising future prospects in India and stronger resale value.
  • Mahindra’s higher resale value could offset its slightly lower fuel efficiency.
  • Skoda needs to address the AC performance issue to make ventilated seats effective, as users report they currently blow hot air.
  • The powered seats in Skoda seem slow; manual seats are more reliable and could be a better option.

If priced competitively, the Signature Plus variant offers the best value for money.

I want Kylaq to be super well priced too, but 3 lakhs less than the AX5L is where MX3 slots in. I don't think Skoda can price the Prestige at MX3 levels. I believe, the Kylaq prestige at 3 lakhs less than AX7L would be be a great VFM car (at just above AX5's price range).

P.S. I do understand value for money is a subjective term, no offence intended.

Staraptor.

Re: Skoda Kylaq Pre-Production Camouflaged Car First Drive & Preview

I just received an email from Skoda to book Kylaq as I joined the kylaq club. However, when I try to login, it says booking open for non-member at 4pm. Bad handling by Skoda. Now I have to wait till 4 to book.

Did anyone book?

Facing same issue. I received both SMS and a WhatsApp message but when I tried to book, I got the same message. Do we need to pay the full booking amount instead of the discounted amount for Kylaq Club then?
