\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Kylaq<\/a> is built on four broad pillars of safety, comfort, quality, and global design.

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe name Kylaq was chosen by the Indian public. As part of the \u2018Name your \u0160koda\u2019 contest, the brand received over 24,000 suggestions. The winning name is inspired by Mount Kailash and is derived from the Sanskrit word for \u2018crystal,\u2019 reflecting one of \u0160koda\u2019s traditional design inspirations.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t

The Kylaq is powered by a 1.0 TSI turbocharged petrol engine delivering 85 kW, paired with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. It is also the first \u0160koda model in India to feature elements of the brand\u2019s new Modern Solid design language.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
