What could be detected?

The front fascia can be seen with Skoda’s signature grille, similar to other offerings like the Kushaq and Slavia. It features a split headlamp design with LED DRLs and LED projector headlights. Above the front bumper, you can stop a lower grille, which features hexagonal design elements.

In profile, it has blacked-out multi-spoke alloy wheels that look similar to the 16-inch alloy wheels offered on the Kushaq Sportline variant. Turn indicators are integrated into the ORVMs (outside rear view mirrors), and you can also locate the roof rails

At the back, there is a protrusion on the tailgate from one tail light unit to the other, suggesting it could get a connected tail light setup.

Expected interior and features

Skoda has yet to give us a glimpse of the Kylaq’s interior. The recent teaser shows black seats and a beige top, but the production model could have a different interior theme.

The dashboard layout will likely take inspiration from the Skoda Kushaq. As such, it could have a 2-spoke steering wheel and a 10.1-inch touchscreen unit with wireless support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The Kylaq is also expected to get an 8-inch fully digital driver’s display, automatic air conditioning, ventilated front seats, wireless phone charger and a single-pane sunroof.

Its safety features will likely include 6 airbags (as standard), electronic stability control (ESC), rear parking camera, and rear parking sensors.

Expected powertrain

The Kylaq subcompact SUV will likely be powered by the 1-liter turbocharged TSI petrol engine that powers the lower variants of the Kushaq and Slavia. This engine produces 115 hp and 178 Nm and is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
