Clean looking car this will definitely give skoda much needed numbers

[saiiiii]

With all the companies doing connected tail lights and futuristic designs, i’m glad skoda is taking a good turn with regards to the looks, i love the classy and elegant design. Not a biggest fan of the rear but man this thing looks wayyyy better than the 3XO

This is the car they should have started their India 2.0 strategy with, promising.
The rear quarter glass area reminds me of the Golf.

[NeethnavK]

Looks neat and clean in terms of design, no unnecessary cuts and curves.

[nikkis]

Yes
The tail lights reminds of Polo! 😍

[taranshupattnaiktp]

Kylaq is clearly so much accessible thanks to the aggressive starting price. And the feature I liked the most is powered driver and passenger seat. That's simply clever. I hope my 5"7" frame can fit inside very well especially in the back seat.
This is an impressive job by Skoda altogether, as they really have got something spot on for Indian market.

Hope they added a powerful Ac, much needed for Indian climate

Muhammed ziyad, A man from Kasargod, Kerala named this car Kylaq ! It was part of Skoda's campaign. He won the car too, the first owner of the car in India

Honda India again missed the Bus. Along with Amaze Honda could launched Sub-compact SUV

[MikBan]

Thanks for not including some useless features. Its a lovely product rightly priced.

[Mili-njnj]

Oh my god the tail lights do look like Polo with this Red one!

[VikramGT]

If this guy comes in Autocar, then it is a very important launch..

[Gopal.krishna]

The legroom seems very congested in the video

[_nimishagarwal]

Please remove the touch control for the ac

It's a mini Kushaq, I have a skoda kushaq Monte Carlo and somehow I cannot find any difference until I see it with a close look.

[ravicooly]

If u want to buy a car dont go to show room., Instead go to service centre and meet the owners. Thats the original review u get

[amogus]

The poor guys who bought the 1.0 varients of Kushaq...

Edit- Lots of people confused by my comment, let me clarify I am NOT saying that kushaq itself is a completely useless product now, but the lower 1.0 varients might not be that worth it. And no, the same logic doesn't apply with seltos/creta-sonet/venue case because here, you actually have a bigger engine (1.2 na vs 1.5 na), more legroom, more headroom, more shoulder room and most importantly more boot space.
Now see Kylaq- kushaq case, same 1.0 engine, a bit more headroom in kushaq (difference of 3 cm), but similar shoulder room (Kylaq is wider than Kushaq) and boot space(Kylaq- 446 Kushaq-385) and kylaq has more Ground clearance, the only major difference is kushaq has around 100 mm legroom more.
But its only my opinion, if you like the Kushaq 1.0, go get one, no one will stop you. Though the Slavia 1.0 is personally the better option.

People are overstating as if Kylaq is as cramped as a bird cage while the Kushaq has the leg space of a Mercedes s class.

[dreamcatcher]

They could have reduced the boot space upto 380 litres and increased the leg room

Whenever Mr. Hormazd is in a review/walkaround video, it will indeed be a noteworthy car😉
