Skoda has officially started the deliveries of its latest offering, the Kylaq, effective today, 27 January. The sub-four-metre SUV, priced from Rs. 7.89 lakh (ex-showroom) onwards, rivals the Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue, Maruti Brezza, Renault Kiger, Mahindra XUV 3XO, and the Nissan Magnite.
The production of the new Kylaq, which scored a five-star rating in the Bharat NCAP crash test, commenced last month. The model is powered by a 1.0-litre, TSI petrol engine producing 114bhp and 178Nm of torque. This engine sends power to the wheels via six-speed manual or torque converter automatic transmissions. The automaker recently revealed the claimed efficiency of this offering, details of which are available on our website.
