Do you get what you pay for in the Skoda Kylaq’s interior?
For Skoda, their Kylaq compact SUV has been pitched as a more premium alternative to rival models, and comes in at a higher starting price than some rivals. However, there’s been a debate on whether the interior quality and features is worth this premium. Users love the fit and finish of the product, but others say it is no better than what you can get for cheaper. They have also been contentious about the use of hard plastics in some areas. On top of that, higher trims are missing features like a 360 degree camera that some might argue is a big deal. As competitors are offering similar or even more features at a lower price point, the discussion around Kylaq’s interior quality and the price become key factors for buyers who are looking to choose from this crowded segment.
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.
