Skoda Kylaq price in Haridwar

The Skoda Kylaq is a good fit for your requirements. It is an enjoyable car to drive, thanks to its punchy 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine that delivers strong performance. The suspension setup strikes a fine balance, offering a comfortable ride for everyday use while still feeling sporty and engaging on a ghat road.

Its compact dimensions make it easy to drive and park in the city, yet it offers enough space to comfortably seat four adults. The boot is also large and usable, adding to its everyday practicality.

Within your budget, you can opt for the top-spec Prestige variant, which is very well equipped. Importantly, even the lower variants of the Kylaq come with all the essential features most buyers would want. This makes the range a good value across the board.

Given your requirements, you should consider the Skoda Kylaq. 

The compact SUV can comfortably accommodate four adults, it has composed high-speed manners, engaging handling, and it has received a 5-star crash safety rating from Bharat NCAP. The Kylaq is also one of the quickest accelerating compact SUVs thanks to its punchy 115hp, 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine. It can be had with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic. 

If you want the manual, go for the Kylaq Signature, which is priced at Rs 10.67 lakh (on-road, Delhi). Also, if you want an automatic, opt for the Kylaq Classic+, which costs Rs 10.47 lakh (on-road, Delhi).  

The Skoda Kylaq is actually among the best compact SUVs for highway driving and long-distance travel, and there are several reasons for that.
First and foremost, it’s a very safe car, which is crucial when you’re cruising at triple-digit speeds on our unpredictable highways. It often shares tarmac with heavy trucks and erratic traffic. The strong build and solid high-speed manners immediately inspire confidence.

The 115hp 1.0 TSI engine delivers superb performance. It feels punchy in the mid-range, making overtaking manoeuvres quick and stress-free, something you’ll really appreciate on two-lane highways. The 6-speed manual gearbox offers a direct, mechanical feel with precise shifts that keen drivers will enjoy.

However, the 6-speed automatic is the one we would recommend for long-distance use. It’s smooth and responsive, and the manual override allows you to hold a gear when needed. This makes overtaking even easier and more controlled.

What really works in the Kylaq’s favour is its excellent ride-and-handling balance. It feels planted and stable at high speeds, yet absorbs road imperfections well, so you don’t feel fatigued after long hours behind the wheel. That blend of composure and comfort makes it a very reassuring highway companion.

The one thing missing is ADAS - advanced driver assistance features such as adaptive cruise control (ACC), which, when used in the right conditions, can significantly reduce fatigue on long highway runs.

If ADAS is important to you, an alternative worth considering is the Mahindra XUV 3XO. It comes with Level 2 ADAS, including ACC. The 1.2 TGDi engine also delivers strong performance. 

However, while the 3XO is quick and feature-rich, it doesn’t quite match the Kylaq’s overall driving polish and high-speed composure.

The Skoda Kylaq is enjoyable to drive, and performance is strong too. Moreover, it's compact, solidly built, and its suspension strikes a good balance between ride comfort and handling. 

The Skoda Kushaq is relatively more spacious, particularly at the rear, so if you travel with four passengers regularly, the Kushaq is the better pick. We are yet to get behind the wheel of the Skoda Kushaq with the new 8-speed automatic transmission, so we recommend you wait for our review if you are keen on the Kushaq. 

Alternatively, you could avail some mouth-watering discounts on the pre-facelift Kushaq, because of which you could get a higher variant in your budget. If resale value isn't something you're concerned with, this is an option you could explore for the considerable savings upfront.

The problem with strong performance is that it usually comes at the cost of mileage. However, the Mahindra XUV 300 - and Mahindras in general - is that they have been tuned to prioritise performance over fuel economy; hence, they are all very powerful. 

If you want strong performance and a fun-to-drive character, check out the Skoda Kylaq. Its 1.0 TSI engine makes 115hp, which is less than what the Mahindra offers. But as is often the case with Volkswagen Group's famous TSI turbo-petrol engines, it feels a lot stronger than the numbers suggest. 

The good bit is that it comes with a smooth 6-speed AT option, in case that is what you want, but the 6-speed MT is a fun and easy gearbox as well. As for fuel economy, it will definitely be better than the XUV 300's 1.2-litre turbo petrol, but you will still have to be careful with the throttle to achieve good real-world economy numbers.
