Skoda will be making its foray in the sub-4 metre SUV space early next year with the launch of Kylaq. It was recently revealed that the upcoming crossover will be making its pre-launch debut on November 6 this year. Ahead of its debut, a production-ready model of Kylaq was recently spotted during one of its test runs.
As seen in the image, the latest test mule of the Kylaq is completely wrapped under camouflage. Despite the heavy covering, some visual details of the upcoming subcompact SUV are very prominent. It is clearly visible that the Kylaq takes inspiration from its elder sibling Kushaq.
Skoda Kylaq details
For starters, it gets Skoda’s signature butterfly grille with vertical slats flanked by a split LED headlamp setup. Like all Skodas, the side profile of the Kylag remains clean and understated. The car appears to ride on 16-inch all-black alloy wheels. The rear end is not visible. Other visual highlights include black roof rails, sunroof, blacked-out pillars, and an upright bonnet.
In terms of features, the Kylaq is expected to come equipped with a touchscreen infotainment system, a digital instrument console, wireless smartphone connectivity, ambient lighting, automatic climate control, and 360-degree camera to name a few.
Powering the Kylaq will be a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine that performs duties on the Kushaq as well as Slavia. This petrol mill kicks out 114 bhp and 175 Nm of peak torque. The engine will be paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.
