Design

Skoda Kylaq

The Skoda Kylaq follows the brand's Modern Solid design language. The front fascia resembles the bigger sibling Kushaq. It features a slightly smaller grille than that of Kushaq and a split DRL and headlamp setup. However, those pronounced creases on the bonnet give it a very sporty look. On the lower side, there's a very subtle cladding along with a silver skid plate. At the rear, it features squared-out taillights joined by a dark applique with Skoda lettering on it. Moreover, there's a thick cladding on the bumper too.

Kia Syros

On the other hand, Kia Syros takes its design cues from the bigger siblings, EV6 and EV9. The front profile gets sleek LED DRLs along with vertically stacked three-pod LED headlamps. The Syros features a boxy design and rides on 17-inch wheels, but you'll find 16-inch wheels in the HTK (O) variant. Coming to the rear, it boasts those L-shaped LED taillamps along with a roof-mounted spoiler. Moreover, the bumper gets a silver skid plate which adds a sporty touch.

Features

Stepping inside, the Kylaq shares a similar dashboard layout as the bigger sibling Kushaq. Both of them boast the same side AC vents, and a two-spoke steering wheel. While other features include a 7-inch infotainment with wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Cruise control and TPMS. Meanwhile, for the safety, it relies on six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, ISOFIX child seat mounts and rear parking sensors. However, there's no ADAS on offer, even in the top spec.

When it comes to the Syros, it offers a very subtle dashboard layout with a 12.3-inch infotainment and a 12.3-inch instrument cluster. Similar to the Kylaq, the Syros also gets a two-spoke steering wheel as of its bigger siblings. Moreover, it offers a rearview camera, Type C charging port, rear AC vents, and leatherette seat upholstery. For safety, it relies on six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, hill start assist, front and rear parking sensors, and ISOFIX child seat.
