The Kylaq is set to be underpinned by Skoda-VW’s MQB A0 IN platform though this time around, the Czech carmaker will be going it alone. VW has said it does not plan to enter the subcompact SUV segment.
Going by the teasers, the Kylaq will follow Skoda’s family design with taunt surfacing and clean lines. Up front, the SUV will feature a split headlamp design with high-set DRLs to flank the trademark Skoda grille. Other elements visible in the teasers include a sculpted bonnet, flared wheel arches along with L-shaped tail lamps at the rear with Skoda scrawled on the tailgate.

Speaking of powertrains, the Kylaq is expected to be offered solely with the familiar 1.0 TSI turbo-petrol mill offered across all Skoda-VW compact cars currently on sale in the country. Expect gearbox options to include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic.
The Kylaq will go up against popular subcompact SUVs such as the Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet, Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue and Mahindra XUV 3XO.
