The Kylaq, which starts at Rs 7.89 lakh, presents a great opportunity for customers, as they are getting a detuned version of the larger Kushaq at such an affordable price.

Single Pane Sunroof
Both cars come with a single-pane sunroof, which is a good deal for the Skoda Kylaq but not so much for the Kushaq, as most of its rivals offer a panoramic sunroof. Additionally, this feature will be available only in the top-spec variants of the Kylaq, with an expected price range of Rs 13 to 14 lakh.
Wireless Phone Charger
One of the most in-demand features right now, the Kylaq offers a wireless phone charger. People often dislike carrying wires with them every time they get into the car to charge their devices. The wireless charging pad eliminates this problem.
10.1 Inch Infotainment Screen
This same screen setup is also found in the Skoda Kushaq and Slavia, and now the Kylaq is getting it too. It supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and also houses all the media controls.
8 Inch Inch Digital Instrument Cluster
Wow! Skoda has really packed this vehicle with all the top features every customer wants these days. The digital instrument cluster displays all the important information a driver needs, and GPS tracking can also be done from here.
Front Ventilated and Powered Seats
The all-new Skoda Kylaq is one of the few sub-4-meter cars that features powered front seats for both occupants and also comes with a seat ventilation function again, borrowed from the Skoda Kushaq.

Verdict
The new Kylaq is set to be a major product for this Czech Republic company. Despite launching India-specific models like the Kushaq and Kylaq, their sales have not picked up, even with attractive discounts. The only remaining opportunity lies in the sub-4 meter segment, which is currently the hottest in the market, with cars in this category often making it to the top 10 best-sellers list. Skoda is placing big bets on the Kylaq to help get the brand back on track.
