Skoda Auto India have officially named their upcoming B2-segment SUV the Kylaq. Skoda finalised the name after running a nation-wide campaign that included over 2 lakh entries. The new Skoda Kylaq is expected to launch in early 2025, adding to the growing competition in the B2 SUV segment.
Skoda Kylaq – Expected Powertrain And Performance
Under the hood, the Skoda Kylaq is expected to be powered by the brand’s 1.0 turbo petrol engine, which also powers the base and mid-spec variants of the Slavia and Kushaq. This engine produces 115PS of power and 178Nm of torque, and will likely be offered with the choice of a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
Skoda Kylaq – Expected Features
The Kylaq is expected to offer a range of modern features to appeal to Indian car buyers. A 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity is likely, along with a sunroof and a fully digital driver's display for a premium feel. Comfort and convenience features could include ventilated front seats and a wireless phone charger.
