Trending Questions on Skoda Kylaq - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am planning to buy my first car with a budget of ₹14 to 15 lakh. I have undergone ACL surgery on my right leg and am unsure whether I should choose a manual or an automatic. I am inclined towards the Skoda Kylaq Prestige, but I am not sure if it is the right choice or which variant would suit me better. My monthly driving is usually around 300km, but between April and June, I drive up to about 700km per month. I also have a mango orchard located 2-3km off-road from my home. Please suggest which car and variant would be best for my needs.
I am planning to buy an automatic car with a budget of up to ₹16 lakh. My driving will be mostly in the city, and I am confused between the Skoda Kylaq, Tata Nexon, and the new Hyundai Venue. Safety and driving experience are my top priorities. Please advise.
Hi, we are planning to purchase the Skoda Kylaq (Signature Plus automatic variant) as it feels premium to look and be in. But doubts arise about its value for money. Is it true that the Skoda brand requires only 95 octane petrol and has a high maintenance cost? Is it worth buying it just for the looks, or will it be a headache to maintain it once purchased? Or should we consider other options? Is it reliable if we plan to keep and use the car for more than 10 years?
For a first-time user, which is more suited between my shortlisted Skoda Kylaq Manual and the Toyota Fronx AMT?
The choice between an automatic and manual will really be down to your comfort levels.
If you are not confident about driving a manual or have a lot of traffic to deal with, then an automatic would be better. In this case, pick the Maruti Suzuki Fronx AMT; the shifts will not be as smooth as a torque converter unit. But at least you won't have the hassle of changing gears yourself.
If you can stretch your budget, opt for the 1.0 litre Turbo Fronx, which comes with a torque convertor automatic gearbox, or you can also opt for the Skoda Kylaq automatic, which also has a torque convertor and the lower variants would be a bit cheaper.
I need to change my car and am looking for an automatic petrol car. My monthly usage is around 200-300 km in Bangalore city, and I want to keep my budget between ₹10-12 lakh. Please suggest suitable options.
You can consider the Skoda Kylaq. Most automatic cars in this price segment offer an automated manual transmission (AMT), which is not a very smooth shifter.
The Kylaq, on the other hand, comes with a torque converter (TC), which is by far the smoothest gearbox around.
The Kylaq's compact dimensions also make it perfect for the city, and it has enough space inside. Fuel efficiency will not be as high as that of a Maruti Suzuki Swift. However, since your running is low, this should not be too much of an issue. You will certainly enjoy the smoother shifting gearbox.
Hi, I have a Hyundai i10, 2011 model, that I have used for around 90000 km. My average running is around 7000 km. I want a car with good average, boot space and proper safety. I intend to keep it for the next 15 years. My budget is around 13 lakhs. I have shortlisted 3XO AX5 petrol manual, Kylaq Signature Plus and Victoris VXI. Kindly advise.
Hi Autocar. I drive an Elite i20 petrol and want to upgrade to an SUV. My daily driving is up to 10 km, and I rarely use highways, but I want a vehicle with strong performance and top safety. My budget is up to ₹20 lakh, and I have no fuel type preference. Please suggest suitable options.
Since your driving is very little and almost all of it within the city, we would recommend the Skoda Kylaq automatic version.
Most automatics in this segment come with an automated manual transmission (AMT), which are not smooth shifters. The Kylaq, on the other hand, comes with a torque converter (TC), which is the smoothest type of automatic transmission around.
As for performance, the 1.0-litre turbo petrol is lively and strong enough, especially for the city. As for safety, it is well kitted out with safety features like standard 6 airbags, and it also secured a 5-star crash rating in the BNCAP tests.
I am a first-time driver planning to buy my own car. I really like the Skoda brand, so I am considering the Skoda Kushaq Signature Automatic. My city usage will be very minimal, and I need a suggestion on whether I am choosing the right car. I am 43 years old and want to know what is better for a first-time driver: a manual car or an automatic transmission. I am more concerned about safety and reliability, and my budget is ₹12 lakh. What is the best car, as per expert suggestion?
The Skoda Kylaq is one of the better compact SUVs in the market, so if you are inclined towards it is certainly worth buying.
Being an SUV, the elevated seating position, which gives you good visibility of the road, is useful for first-time car buyers like yourself. We would advise you to opt for an automatic transmission because it will make your life behind the wheel a lot easier.
The Kylaq’s 6-speed automatic is quite smooth and responsive, and paired to the 1.0 litre TSI engine, performance is effortless too. In terms of reliability, the Skoda doesn’t have the best reputation for service, but we don’t think that should be a deal breaker.
With its 5-star crash rating, the Kylaq is very safe and known for its tough build.
My age is 72. The average driving is about 1,000km per month. I am looking for a good, safe, small automatic car for self-driving, including occasional long drives across the country. I find the Innova too big to park when I drive. Please help me choose a car under Rs 15 lakh.
Skoda Kylaq: It's got a punchy petrol engine, smooth auto gearbox and has a tough build. It's not the most spacious at the back, but that should not be a deal breaker for you.
I own a Grand Vitara Sigma (March 2024), which has run 22,000 km. While I like its ride quality and handling, I’m disappointed with the sheet metal strength, as it gets dented even by small stones and pebbles. My usage is 70% city and 30% highway. Please suggest a petrol car within a ₹12-lakh on-road budget that offers a high driving position, strong build quality, good steering feedback, and solid driving dynamics.
In your budget, a strong option to consider is the Skoda Kyliaq Signature+ Manual. It is expected to be priced at around Rs 12 lakh on-road.
It has a 5-star BNCAP safety rating and feels solidly built. It is also among the best to drive in the segment, with good handling and a comfortable ride. You also get a height-adjustable driver seat in the base variant, so at its highest setting, you’ll have a clear and commanding view ahead, regardless of your height.
Just keep in mind the size difference. Compared to your Grand Vitara midsize SUV, the Kyliaq is a sub-4-metre SUV, so it will feel smaller in overall footprint and cabin width.
