    I would say of all the cars on sale in India now, for me Skoda Kylaq is the favorite, and that is why even I bought this car. Skoda Kylaq is a perfect blend of practicality, features and drive experience, combined with the value for money quotient. According to me, Skoda has really taken care of giving necessary features under an affordable category, with competitive pricing to other brands in this category. So, under a decent budget, you are getting a German engineered vehicle, with really good drive experience, which was not possible few decades back. So with the introduction of Kylaq, Skoda has entered the affordable mid SUV segment. After owning the vehicle for almost 6 months now, I can personally say buying Kylaq was the best decision while choosing a car for my needs. The fact that they are making almost all parts of this vehicle in India itself is really a game changing move, as this could bring down the service costs of the vehicle as well, which was a major repulsive factor among the Indians in owning a Skoda car. Pros: 1)Good Drivability and Handling 2)Suitable for city drives and highways 3)Has almost all basic features(Seat ventilation, Hill hold, paddle shif

    Recently, I drove the Skoda Kylaq, and it was the best experience I had on the road. The showroom was really great, giving me a 20-km test drive to get to know the car well. It's a well-refined engine with less NVH and of all the DSG gearboxes that I have tried - this one was very well tuned. The car suspensions were perfect for the Mumbai roads and the car had zero body roll. The car didn't have the modern sunroof or 360 camera setup but it had the perfection of drive that an enthusiast needs. I fell in love with the car but feel it to be a tad bit expensive.

    Skoda Kylaq.. what a fun car for the money they charge. Has everything a person who loves driving could ask for. Solid steering, amazing body response, one of the best engines, looks like a much more expensive elder brother while being small and also not cutting costs. Absolutely No-nonsense car

    Skoda Kylaq. As the handling and dynamics are very good. And the 1 litre 3 cylinders turbo petrol TSI engine from VW group is a great engine. Also the base variants seems value for money.

      The Skoda Kushaq impresses with its solid engine performance and handling, particularly at high speeds. However, the ride quality is stiffer than expected, making it less comfortable compared to competitors. Interior quality raises concerns, as materials appear worn even on a low-mileage test car. Overall, while it offers good dynamics, alternatives like the 3XO may provide better value with more comfort and quality.
