The front fascia of the new Skoda compact SUV has been adored by the brand’s signature radiator grille, new LED projector headlamps with LED DRLs and sporty bumper. The blacked-out alloy wheels, squarish wheel arches, a shark fin antenna and roof rails in black finish give it a sporty appeal. It sports a massive rear bumper, pentagon-shaped taillamps with LED inserts, SKODA badging and a sculpted tailgate. The Kylaq is 3,995mm longer and has a 189mm ground clearance.
