One of the concerns that the Kushaq and Slavia 1.0 TSI owners faced was regarding the A/C cooling. Skoda claims that those issues person been sorted and the Kylaq has undergone investigating of implicit 8,00,000 km truthful far.

In presumption of safety, the MQB-A0-IN level cars (Kushaq and Slavia) person scored 5 stars successful GNCAP tests and Skoda expects the Kylaq to bash the same.

Kylaq person got the imaginable to bring decent income fig for some Skoda and VW (once Kylaq sibling is launched) if they terms it right.

I person precocious hopes from the Kylaq.
According to Autocar India, "Skoda India is targeting a monthly accumulation tally of astir 4,000 to 5,800 units for the Kylaq."

This is rather blimpish for the conception it falls in. 50% of each car income travel from this conception of cars.

My wishlist is precise elemental for this vehicle. Firstly, information kit including 6 airbags indispensable beryllium standard. It should beryllium priced competitively. Top extremity variants should spell each retired successful presumption of features, it's amended to connection adjacent much features successful this arsenic compared to what they already person successful the Kushaq. An enactment for AT gearbox successful the basal variant if possible. And past but not the least, due income grooming for this product.

Skoda mightiness person a victor successful their hands.
