Went to showroom to check out the Kylaq. Took my Kushaq Ambition 1.0, so that I get the closest comparison possible. And after the MotorInc episode, had a few specifics I wanted to check.
Performance: Roughly the same. But, the turbo lag appeared to be lesser in the Kylaq. The torque converter's upshifts were definitely smoother. The creep mode has been mellowed down. In my Kushaq, in bumper to bumper traffic, I use the brake pedal to control the forward movement. Not in the case of Kylaq.
Ride: Better in Kylaq. Both, my Kushaq Ambition and the TD Signature Plus variant had 16 inch wheels, and I could tell that the Kylaq has a better, more comfortable ride.
Space: Obviously, lesser in Kylaq. You can easily notice the difference. Not much in the front seat, but definitely while sitting in the rear seat, one can feel the lesser legroom. Not a deal braker, because I could sit comfortably sit behind my driving position (my height is 183 cm / 6 ft). If you sit in both cars, Kushaq is more airy and can be called an upgrade over the Kylaq.
In all, Skoda has corrected, fine tuned the existing Kushaq and presented it in a smaller package. Two thumbs up.
Regarding the variants distribution, Skoda should show some urgency and fix their mistakes. The gap between the variants is huge and more variants can be easily made available in between. For example, introduce one between Signature Plus and Prestige. Just add, rear wiper and paddle shifters. Also, give the sunroof as an option, in every variant. There is no non sunroof option in your top variant.
