Skoda has launched the new Kylaq Sportline in India at an introductory ex-showroom price of Rs 11.32 lakh. The new variant sits between the Signature+ and Prestige trims in the Kylaq line-up. It brings several blacked-out exterior elements and a darker cabin theme for a sportier appearance.
The Kylaq Sportline is available with both manual and automatic transmission options. Skoda has also added a few features to the lower variants, making the Kylaq range more competitive in India’s compact SUV segment.
Skoda Kylaq Sportline Gets Sportier Exterior
The Kylaq Sportline gets several blacked-out elements that set it apart from the standard variants. These include the 17-inch alloy wheels, ORVMs, roof, faux skid plates and the Skoda wordmark between the tail-lights.
The variant also gets a roof-mounted spoiler and Sportline badges on the C-pillar and tailgate. Additionally, it is the most affordable Kylaq variant to feature projector LED headlights and LED fog lamps with cornering function.
Skoda Kylaq Sportline Gets Darker Cabin
Inside, the Sportline variant gets a darker cabin theme with black leatherette seats and contrasting white stitching. The front headrests also feature Sportline branding, while aluminium pedals add a sportier touch.
The cabin gets white ambient lighting along with a single-pane sunroof. Other key features include a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, an 8-inch digital driver’s display, six speakers and a wireless phone charger.
Skoda Kylaq Sportline Gets Same Engine
The Kylaq Sportline uses the same 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder TSI turbo-petrol engine as the other variants. It produces 115 HP and 178 NM of torque.
Skoda offers the engine with a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission. Therefore, buyers can choose between a manual setup for greater driver involvement and an automatic option for easier city driving.
Skoda Kylaq Gets More Features Across Range
Alongside the Sportline launch, Skoda has also added some features to the lower-spec Kylaq variants. The base Classic trim now gets automatic climate control and a rear defogger as standard.
These updates improve the equipment level of the entry-level variant. As a result, buyers have more features to consider even if they choose a lower-priced version of the compact SUV.
Skoda Kylaq Sportline Accessory Pack
Skoda will also offer a dedicated Sportline accessory pack for customers who want a more distinctive appearance. The pack includes front bumper corner garnishes, a dark-chrome grille garnish and fender garnishes with the Skoda logo.
It also adds gloss-black side mouldings to the exterior. Skoda has not yet announced the price of this accessory pack, so its cost will be revealed separately.
Prices In India
The Skoda Kylaq Sportline is available in India in two variants, depending on the transmission. Both prices are ex-showroom.
| Variant | Price |
|---|---|
| Kylaq Sportline MT | Rs 11.32 lakh |
| Kylaq Sportline AT | Rs 12.32 lakh |
The Sportline sits below the Prestige variant in the Kylaq range. This positioning gives buyers a sportier-looking option without moving directly to the top-spec trim.
Skoda Kylaq Sportline Rivals
The Kylaq Sportline competes in India’s compact SUV segment, where it faces models such as the Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Tata Nexon and Maruti Suzuki Brezza. Its turbo-petrol engine and choice of manual and automatic transmissions add flexibility to the package.
The new trim mainly targets buyers who want a more distinctive exterior and interior without choosing a larger SUV. Its equipment and pricing also place it between the mid-spec and higher-spec Kylaq variants.
Conclusion
The Skoda Kylaq Sportline adds a sportier option to the compact SUV’s India line-up. Its blacked-out exterior, darker cabin, aluminium pedals and Sportline branding give it a more distinctive appearance.
With prices starting at Rs 11.32 lakh, the new variant also offers both manual and automatic transmissions. The 115 HP turbo-petrol engine remains unchanged, while additional features on the lower variants further strengthen the Kylaq range.
