Does the European styling and driving dynamics of the Skoda Kylaq excuse its premium over more feature loaded rivals?

After all, you’re also paying for the badge. What you are paying extra for is that Skoda has a more premium image than Maruti or Tata.

It’s not about features or driving dynamics. The Kylaq feels better than most rivals for overall quality. It’s harder to quantify but you definitely get value out of it.

If you are going to keep the car for a long time, I would say it’s worth it. The feature laden but less refined alternative will probably age less gracefully than the build quality and driving experience.
The first question is will the 1.0 TSI engine of the Skoda Kylaq be enough for Indian driving conditions or will the buyers miss a more powerful option.

But the 1.0 TSI is more than enough. It’s punchy, efficient and ideal for city driving. This segment of buyers don't need more power than most.

I disagree. A 1.0L engine is inadequate for highway drives and full loads. Those wanting more grunt should have been offered a 1.5L from Skoda.

It's a mixed bag. I can see why some would chose more power but the 1.0 TSI is great for efficiency. Perhaps Skoda might launch a more powerful variant later?

I have driven both 1.0 and 1.5 TSI engines and the 1.0 is surprisingly capable. It’s all about the turbo, the car feels more powerful than the numbers would indicate.

Let’s be real, most Kylaq buyers will never need more than what the 1.0 TSI has to offer. For daily driving and an occasional highway trip, it's plenty.

I think Skoda's made a smart move. One engine option makes it simple, and that probably helps hold down the costs. The 1.0 TSI isn't exactly slow.

Perception is huge in India and the engine is fine but. Without even test driving it, some buyers will be turned off by the small engine size.

In fact, I like the 1.0 TSI better. Driving a slow car fast is more fun than driving a fast car slow, and the Kylaq with this engine is plenty zippy for most situations.
Do you get what you pay for in the Skoda Kylaq’s interior?
07 January 2025 05:29
I honestly think the Kylaq's interior is a step up from most rivals. The design is clean and modern and the materials feel more premium. It’s not luxury car level, but it’s a step up from the average mass market SUV.

I disagree. I went to the showroom and checked it out and it's nice to look at but there is still a lot of hard plastic. At the price they're asking, I expected more. In cheaper options like the Hyundai Venue or Kia Sonet you can get similar quality.

It's a mixed bag for me. The rear is a bit plain but the front feels great. If only they would have tried harder to make the back seats feel as premium as the front. It all comes down to the fact that overall build quality seems solid.

It’s good, not great, inside. With Skoda what you are paying for is the driving experience and build quality. If you want bells and whistles, a Korean or Indian brand might be the better way to go.

If you like the little details, I think it's worth it. The steering wheel is great in hand, the seats are really comfortable and have a satisfying click to the switches and buttons. To me, it’s those small things that make it feel more premium.

And let’s be real, you’re paying for the badge as well. That is reflected in the price as Skoda has a more premium image than Maruti or Tata. Whether or not that's worth it is up to you, but the amount you value brand perception.

In fact, I actually like the Kylaq's interior better than some more expensive SUVs. Nothing is trying too hard to be flashy, it's just well designed and functional. Sometimes less is more.
Will India miss Skoda Kylaq’s diesel engine option?
07 January 2025 05:29
It won't be a big issue, I don't think. The TSI engine in the Kylaq is pretty good for a petrol engine; they've come a long way in terms of efficiency. It’s not as though most people buying in this segment are desperate for a diesel.
Will India miss Skoda Kylaq’s diesel engine option?
07 January 2025 05:29
Disagree. Diesel is still in demand in India — particularly for people who drive a lot. That could mean Skoda losing out on a slice of buyers who simply wouldn't entertain the idea of a petrol only option.
