Skoda Kylaq has recently been launched in India, with prices ranging between Rs 7.89 lakh and Rs 14.40 lakh (ex-showroom). Its bookings are already underway, while deliveries are set to start on January 27, 2025. Czech automaker offers the Kylaq with Kushaq’s 1-litre turbocharged petrol engine option, which is available with both manual and automatic transmission choices. Here’s a look at the technical specifications and claimed mileage figures of the Skoda Kylaq: –
| Engine | 1-litre TSI turbocharged petrol |
| No of Cylinders | 3 |
| Max Power | 115PS |
| Peak Torque | 178Nm |
| Transmission Options | 6-speed manual / 6-speed torque converter automatic |
| Claimed Mileage | 19.68 kmpl (MT), 19.05 kmpl (AT) |
| Idle Start/Stop Function | Yes |
The manual gearbox option of the Skoda Kylaq is more fuel-efficient than its automatic version, probably due to direct power transfer with minimal energy loss. On the other hand, the torque converters rely on fluid coupling, which can waste energy, especially at lower speeds.
