Billed as a more refined and efficient choice, the Skoda Kylaq is equipped with a 1.0 litre TSI turbocharged petrol engine. But in a market where many equate engine size with performance and status, there has been debate over whether this smaller engine will meet all types of buyers. Those who argue against the lightness of the car and its turbocharging technology insist, however, that the 1.0 TSI provides good balance between performance and fuel efficiency. Some argue that for a premium compact SUV you should have a larger engine option available, particularly for those who spend significant time on highways or in hilly areas. Some buyers may find engines up to 1.5 liters in capacity appealing on paper, which is what competitors in the segment offer. These discussions have arisen from this situation about whether Skoda should have offered more powerful engine options as found in the larger Kushaq, say a 1.5 TSI, for a wider range of preferences and driving needs in the Indian market that is as diverse as it is.
