Skoda Kushaq / Virtus GT owner checks out the new Skoda Kylaq

This would a great car for someone who missed buying the Polo and prefers drive quality, safety and comfort over gadgets.

I saw a Kylaq in Amanora mall, Pune couple of days back and came back pretty impressed. We have a Kushaq 1L TSI MT so driving is mostly something we were not much interested in, we all love the way it performs - the midrange of the 1L TSI feels superb. Hey it gives mileage more than our cute Brio used to give us, we are easily getting 19-21 kmpl on expressways, 18-20 kmpl on highway drives and 11-12 in city.

The Kylaq no way looks smaller that the competition, it looks big from the inside and the materials used inside feels better than our Kushaq. Best thing Skoda did was to get rid of the chrome strip that was available throughout the dashboard which makes the most irritating creaks every-time someone accidentally or even remotely touches it .

The seats on the top model are straight from the ones I have on my Virtus GT. They have been great for long trips and felt similar on the Kylaq as well with the cushioning. With seats adjusted to my height (5'11 for reference), space at the rear was good enough but the Kushaq scores ahead here, the rear seat experience in general feels better in Kushaq and rightly so.

The boot somehow feels similar to Kushaq, I was surprised to see how Skoda have done that . One thing that I hate in my GT is the rear camera setup and same has been carry forwarded here as well which is absolutely wrong. Even after 4 years from Kushaq launch, the group has not been able to get the rear camera quality updated despite several customers and media people suggesting them to. How much of a change it would be from cost perspective?

Keeping the rear camera thing aside, this is a good product from Skoda and they have worked on the feedback received on the earlier products. This would a great car for someone who missed buying the Polo and prefers drive quality, safety and comfort over gadgets.
