P.S. AR's accuracy could be slightly here and there though.

Here is the link to the AR model of Kylaq: https://kylaq-ar.biup.ai/

Looks like the AR version is not accurate in terms of scale/proportions. Check the gaps on both sides between the yellow markings in that parking slot. It should be at least 15% bigger than that AR model.

These are Kylaq Signature variant exterior and interior images. Extacted from accessories brochure. Notice the DRL in these variants seems to be like Kushaq Classic. Really dont like them!

Also interior is finally revealed of signature except the touch screen which is accessory 9inch here. UI seems to be photoshoped

Agree. Not liking this strategy from Skoda. Showing top variant everywhere and then opening bookings for all the variants and later showing different light/DRL setup is absolutely wrong. Exterior plays a huge role in deciding a car hence this is not justified. Just like interiors, they should have shown the exteriors as well.

I hope they dont add a halogen turn indicators in Classic variant
Simply unclever!

I think the DRL will be at the same place as top variant but it wont have similar design. Could be a halogen bulb at the corner of the DRL, like its here in the skoda kamiq SE (base variant). So the DRL will not work as turn indicator like it does in top variant.

Skoda seems to be controlling the whole campaign too much, as if they are scared of showing the base variants and making sure people only see the top model in social media.

If this the case, I feel Kylaq is definitely overpriced, especially Signature plus and Prestige

Just check out the actual boot space, shoulder room and dimensions of kylaq. When compared to kushaq its only shorter with smaller boot by 25litres. Otherwise the shoulder room and width of the Kylaq is same as Kushaq. Sitting inside Khylaq will be much better than Sonet/venue I feel. Also, from exterior it could feel smaller due to the way its designed by Kylaq seems to be well done chop job of Kushaq.



From Global Site






No mention of leg room here but due to shortened wheelbase definately it will be smaller than kushaq.

Notice how Skoda has mentioned 360 Litres of boot space measured till Parcel tray on the global website but in India they mentioned 446L till roof which is "simply Dumb". Come on Skoda be brave

Also the car height seems to be more in India comared to global version. Could be ground clearance change or measuring standard change (probably measured till roof rail in India but not globally?) any one knows?

No mention of specification on Indian website just boot space mentioned with seats folded.

Not even a proper orthographic shot of the car on Indian website.

Interesting to see the height difference on global and Indian website (1575mm and 1619mm respectively). Saw in some Youtube review video, they mentioned it being ~1575mm only. Not sure why this difference, could be because if roof rails

For reference, Magnite's height is 1572, Kiger's height is 1605, Venue's height is 1592

It should be 1575 for the Kylaq. Kushaq with slightly raised roof rails measures 1612. It cannot be 1619 for Kylaq.

Checked out Kylaq today at Mumbai airport. As a first batch Virtus and 10 year old Polo owner I must say I am impressed with interior quality which is better than my Virtus.
Kylaq is definitely a step closer to famed quality of Polo and Vento.

[subtle-driver-1]

I think I am just too excited and cant wait to experience the car in-person

I did a small exercise of comparing Kushaq and Kylaq in Photoshop by matching the front wheel of both the vehicle.

Here is a quick comparision of Kylaq and Kushaq with 2 images from Skoda's website.
Looks like the car has been reduced from both back and front. Again, good job in keeping the proportions right.

Looks like the height of Kylaq is similar to Kushaq!

Found this real world video of a pair of Kylaqs doing some stunt. Looks cool:

Thanks, I am curious to know if the multimedia system for 26k is the one that comes with the top model. If so I would be happy to retrofit it in our Kushaq 1L TSI assuming the wiring harness is similar between Kushaq and Kylaq. But if this is the one which comes in base model then it is pricey and can be ignored.

Kylaq is in display today at Aerohub Mall, Chennai.

Sharing a few pictures!

No clarity yet on this. Looking at the accessory brochure, it doesnt look like the one from the top model/original OEM infotainment system (look at the left side controls stacked vertically). I read somewhere that Skoda has a partnership with Blaupunkt therefore the unit shown could be one of their model.

I checked with a dealer and they dont have any idea yet. I even asked if they can install it in Kushaq (I am open to get ONYX AT if this is feasible) and they said "Yes yes, kar denge. Kylaq aur Kushaq ek jaise hee toh hai " (Eng: Yes yes, will do it. Afterall Kylaq and Kushaq is almost the same)

This will be a different android based system that can support a rear view camera. I think very similar to the one you installed in your base kushaq.
