Skoda Kylaq: Exterior, Features
On the exterior of the car, clean lines can be observed giving it that classic “Skoda” look. It has a split headlamp sitrep with LEDs up top and boasts LED projector headlamps lower down. It also has a wide and broad grill which takes up a lot of space on the front. The Kulaq has an 189 mm ground clearance and boasts 17-inch rims.
The rearview mirror gets a turning indicator strip to offer a better driving experience. The tail lights are different from Kushaq’s as they are more boxy giving them a more muscular look. Just like the Kushaq it is built on the “MQB A0 IN” system which provides it a strong foundation. It has 6 airbags, ESC, ABS, traction control, brake disc wiping, rollover protection, multi-collision braking and Isofix child seat mounts in terms of safety. Not much has been revealed about the interior as Skoda wants to keep it a surprise.
