Skoda Kylaq Customer Review: Boot Space, Leg Room & Unnecessary Features

After spending some time in the rear seat of the Kylaq, the customers feel that Skoda has compromised on the legroom to make space for a larger boot. For a person measuring 5’11, the legroom is barely manageable.

Front electric seats seem unnecessary and a 360-degree parking camera would have been a better addition. Moreover, the quality of the rear camera was reported as poor. This car is not for 5 passengers, as only 4 can be seated comfortably.

Skoda Kylaq Customer Review: Test Drive Experience

After a 10-minute spin in the manual transmission variant of the Kylaq, the turbo lag was evident but seemed manageable at city speeds. The suspension feel was very good on the bumpy and potholes-filled roads of Bangalore. The brightness of the headlight was adequate, however, some cars in the segment have a better throw and intensity.

The visibility from the driving seat was good and there were no issues reported in the ground clearance department. The mileage indicated on the MID stood at 13-14 kmpl with a mild foot.

Skoda Kylaq Customer Review: Interior Feel, Sound Quality & Exterior Design Highlights

The touch and feel were reported as good by the customer. No quality issues were found on signature + & prestige models. The audio system is not a branded unit, unlike its rivals and the sound quality was okayish. In terms of exterior design, the proportions felt nice, however, the rear design was not at all appealing. The 17-inch wheels give it an imposing stance.

There’s a lot of potential in terms of exterior design tweaks, something on the lines of Sport Line models of the Kushaq and Slavia with black elements can make it look even better.
