Theyre 3 weeks away from launch and I dont think this is a prototype. This should be the final version and its exactly what I expected. Skoda design, good proportions and the 1.0 tsi.
The other reason can be that it is indeed a prototype. The final version is different from this and they just allowed for a prototype showcase to give an idea to people how it may turn out to be.
I earnestly hope for Kylaq to have a VW twin, if at all possible even though Ashish Gupta on Evo India himself denied about a sub-4 meter SUV from VW to ever materialise. Kylaq here seems a very promising car though but I would still want a mini Taigun from VW.
The VW group should only work towards building confidence about the brand/s. Everything else will follow if people start buying these cars. If they don't, it'll hardly matter how many products they have between VW & Skoda. They'll all rot in their yards.
Skoda’s are always brilliant,superb,safe,built well and have great driving dynamics and i can vouch for it as own Skoda Monte Carlo 1.5 MT. I own Maruti, Hyundai and Ford but Skoda driving is far superior then them ❤❤❤❤❤
All the others cars are it's rival but not Tata Nexon why ? Is Skoda afraid of Tata Nexon or they do not consider Nexon as their rival at all ? If that's the case, then they shouldn't forget that Nexon is a super hit product in the sub 4 meter SUV segment and I suppose the top selling as well 🔥
I was waiting for Evo review. Eagerly awaiting to see this car ! The only point is Skoda should keep the price very competitive with clever features n I am sure this car will be a big success !
From the narration in this video, it sounds like this will be the spiritual successor to the Polo as far as driving pleasure goes. But is it? Guess we'll find out very soon.
Either they are afraid of the brand name that Nexon had created for itself or they think Nexon isn't their competition at all and if they think so they are really wrong bcz come whatever may Nexon was always a hit product and will stay as a hit product 🔥
well why it is giving me vibe that we can a polo soon too 😇 and those wheels are looking great but I guess they are not the ones for launch car. I think this is giving a vibe that will rock the segment
Not many people are going to buy it, the 1.0 TSI AT gives really less milage in big cities like Bengaluru, Pune, etc. and it seems pretty small for people from tier-2, 3 cities as they need cars with more carrying capacity, etc. The 1.5 NAs are better and are long lasting and plus the service cost or rather cost of parts, cz they have managed to bring the service costs down now but still there is more to be done here.
Well I feel it will actually be the opposite. Sensible and mature buyers who prioritise Safety and driving dynamics over everything else will definitely go for this. The 1.0 tsi + AT combination is loved by many including some in my friend circle as well. It's doing pretty well in 4.2 m SUV as well as 4.5 m sedan. Use the same combination in a sub 4 m car and you can only imagine what it's capable of achieving. Besides, smaller car -> lesser kerb weight -> better mileage if driven responsibly. And someone who mostly drives within city, sub 4 m car is anyday better in terms of practicality
Y'all yap about driving dynamics so much. I've yet to see a taigun or kushaq being driven spiritedly. In my last 30000kms of driving since the cars have been on sale I've literally seen only 1 virtus being driven well. Text book /online car enthusiasts fall for dynamic driving jargon more than actually practicing it. Won't the kylaq handle better with 20mm suspension drop for better roll center? And the real ones are driving whatever they can get their hands on. Plus sub 4 meter SUV is stupider for the city compared to a nice hatchback. You want real city performance, the k12c 90hp wagonR with similar power to weight ratio of this kylaq would be better.
Don't get me wrong the 1.0TSI is great and so would be the baseline MQBA01N safety. But Indian crashes are so chaotic and no one wears seat belts so again, good on paper sure, real life translation is poor. Congested cities need hatchbacks. Like the k10. All these fake SUVs are a dick measuring game and the sub 4m ones are wrongly adjusted abominations that are a product of sad old norms that don't translate to the true intent behind the norms.
I like kushaq Signature/Sport AMT 2 stroke steering and door handle from inside but due to budget moving with nexon creative plus AMT should consider to wait?
@@evoIndia engine is same rite. Mind says go for a top end Kylaq but the heart says mid option Slavia. I know I won't get the fun of a sedan in subcompact crossover
SKODA should test for any sort of errors in Kylaq before launching it. Initial lots of Kushaq had technical glitches because of which the buyers suffered and people lost trust in Kushaq. Skoda should also ensure that the AC unit should be suitable for Indian climate, which is largely hot and humid. If other manufacturers can give chilling ACs, then why does Skoda falter?
Skoda must launch a hybrid power train right from go...in what seems to be a perfect small car for our roads...I'm in for a VFM,sub 4 m hybrid ... Unless Suzuki takes a crash safety test of their newly launching Fronx hybrid 🎉🎉❤❤
Indian buyers will buy this car like anything if Skoda takes Radar Level 2 ADAS, 10" Infotainment screen , Individual tyre suspension, All disc brake and White interior from Mahindra 3XO and provide same in Kylaq.
Features I Would like are .. GREAT DRIVING DYNAMICS AND FEEL AND FEEDBACK should be must that distinct VW GROUP from others, VENTILATED SEATS , Good music system, PHYSICAL CONTROLS for AC and VOLUME , A feel good factor from quality and material finishes , WIRELESS Android AUTO and APPLE car play , WIRELESS charger , NOTE everyone does not want a sunroof we just want RELIABLE cars that work .AND CHEAP TO MAINTAIN as always I would buy a SKODA for their SIMPLY CLEVER FEATURES that is a unique thing .
Rear taillamps look a lot like suzuki S Presso… Very small and odd… I wish they connect them with some sort of a light bar or maybe a reflector bar atleast!
indian customers shud change their thinking and shud look above Avg and reliability and features whn buying cars,as market have better choices in every seg vs best sellers,like elevate,VW/skoda siblings,kodiaq merdian etc
Already the kushaq looks like sub 4 Meter when compared to creta seltos and grand vitara (not dynamically, look wise only) then why they need another sub 4 meter. Slash the price of their existing cars and throw away the 1.0tsi engine and introduce 1.5 tsi on every variant then it makes sense.
Please request evo India to communicate to Skoda India to remove the camouflage pattern depicting Indian regional languages and their scripts from their test vehicles immediately and publicly apologize to the Indian people for having used them and done so, These vehicles will be prone to accidents and travel on road Mud Mire, Sludge and what not exposing the language patterns to the same. Our language Mother tongue and culture represents us and using it in a careless and brash manner is not just disrespectful it is outrageous. Skoda India and Volkswagen group ought to have applied its mind before committing this act. The Germans could have used their own language or English in all fairness - If such act is not allowed for their own native languages and scripts why target Indian languages and scripts and insult it.

@@pelungaaa4233 4 cylinder are more refined than 3 cylinder engine. 3 cylinder vibration is reduced by using compensator placed below engine. And its reduced by using insulation. Open the hood and listen to the voice of 3 cylinder engine and 4 cylinder engine. Turbo is needed to generate power for these 1litre engine because they cant make enough power without it. 3years is nothing. Turbo charged engine with 3 cylinder are not long term engine. You will notice it maybe after 5 years. Most of 3 cylinder engine nowadays are introduced in last 4 years with turbo. Earlier 4 cylinder engine used to come without turbo. So the effect of 3 cylinder will be noticeable in next 2 to 3 coming years. Then India customer will realise what 4 cylinder engine is. As always we only cry until that product is gone from India.
Sometimes I feel Skoda and VW are disconnected from market . Living in their own wonderland . With Suzuki moving to 3 cylinder in Swift has created a big gap in that segment . VW and Skoda should had brought to fill in there rather than a car in segment which is already populated .

Better than slavia and Kushaq probably due to less weight.
