Design & Looks
The Kylaq keeps its sharp Czech styling – a bold grille, sleek LED headlamps and a sculpted rear. Inside, the cabin feels premium with soft‑touch surfaces, a leather‑wrapped steering wheel and an 8‑inch touchscreen that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. I remember stepping into a Kylaq at a showroom last year; the fit‑and‑finish already felt a step above most competitors, and the newer variants add ambient lighting and upgraded upholstery.
Performance & Mileage
All automatic versions use the 2.0 L TSI petrol engine paired with a 7‑speed DSG. It delivers 197 hp and 320 Nm of torque, enough for brisk overtakes on the highway. The claimed fuel efficiency is around 14 km/l (ARAI), which is respectable for a 2‑ton SUV. The DSG shift is smooth, and the optional 4‑wheel‑drive system gives extra confidence on rainy or hilly roads.
Price & Rivals
Before the discount, the automatic Kylaq started at Rs 32 lakh. After a Rs 1.56 lakh cut, the base automatic now sits at Rs 30.44 lakh. This puts it ahead of rivals like the Hyundai Creta Turbo and Kia Seltos GT-Line in terms of features for price. Buyers get LED headlamps, adaptive cruise control, a panoramic sunroof, and a suite of safety aids such as lane‑keep assist and automatic emergency braking.

|---|---|---|---|
