Skoda claims that the new Kylaq has been tested across 8,00,000 km of Indian terrain in order to have it prepped for the country’s rough driving conditions. The car features more than 25 active and passive safety features, including six airbags, multi-collision brake, rollover protection, electronic differential lock, anti-lock brakes with EBD, and electronic stability control among others.
Skoda Kylaq: Engine
The Skoda Kylaq is powered by the 1.0 liter three cylinder TSI petrol unit which also powers the other India 2.0 project cars including the Skoda Kushaq. However, unlike the Kushaq and the Slavia, the Kylaq won’t get the 1.5 liter TSI petrol engine. The 1.0 liter petrol engine in the Kylaq produces 114 bhp of peak power and 178 Nm of maximum torque. While for the higher end variants, this engine will be paired with either a six speed manual transmission or a six speed automatic transmission, the base Classic variant of the sub compact SUV will only be available with the manual transmission.
