Skoda has released a new modified version of its most affordable SUV, the Skoda Kylaq. The officially presented variant is the Sportline, available with both a manual and an automatic transmission. This new trim level is equipped with a richer set of features than the Signature Plus models, yet has fewer options than the Prestige, thereby closing the gap between these two configurations.
The price for the manual version of the Skoda Kylaq Sportline is 11.32 lakh rupees including tax, while the automatic version will cost 12.32 lakh rupees including tax. It is worth noting that the base model of the car starts from 7.59 lakh rupees including tax, and it is called Classic.
For comparison, the Signature Plus version costs 10.77 lakh rupees including tax, and the Prestige costs 11.75 lakh rupees, with these prices specified for the manual variants.
In terms of appearance, the Kylaq Sportline features glossy black diffusers at the front and rear, black ORVMs, LED projector headlights, a two-tone floating design, and 17-inch black wheels. Visual accents include an emblem on the rear bumper, a rear spoiler, the Sportline badge, and a decal on the C-pillar.
The company also offers an official Sportline accessory package. It includes decorative trims on the corners of the front and rear bumpers, a decorative radiator grille with dark chrome, wing trims with logo embossing, and glossy black side body cladding.
Inside, the car is finished in an all-black color scheme, which is present on the headliner, dashboard, and door panels. The seats are leather-upholstered and feature the Sportline logo on the headrests. The interior is also equipped with aluminum pedals, ambient lighting, a sunroof, automatic climate control, a wireless charging pad, a 10.1-inch multimedia system, and an 8.0-inch digital instrument cluster.
Under the hood is the old 1.0-liter turbocharged gasoline TSI engine, which produces 114 horsepower and 178 Nm of torque. The transmission can be either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic.
