r/Kylaq

Bought a pressure washer and the usual car wash goodies… but then it unexpectedly rained on Day 2 of bringing her home, before any of it even arrived. 😁

So for now, she just gave her the good old hose treatment.

This is the view from my bedroom's balcony, by the way. I've been randomly stepping out just to admire her. 💙💙💙

So I scheduled for the home pickup of my Kylaq for the welcome service (my car had just hit the 1000 km mark). The driver from the service Center arrived early morning, made me sign the form for handover (this part haunts me still), and then proceeds to take photos of my car and prepares to leave. As he’s leaving, I gently say “pls drive the car carefully”, to which I receive a hollow nod of acknowledgement.

Not even 30 minutes later, I get a call while I’m sitting in a work meeting at home that the driver of my Kylaq has gotten into an accident with a cab driver not even 20 meters outside my society gate. I rush out, only to find my precious car’s pieces scattered on the road.

Luckily, neither of the drivers or anyone else around was injured. I am told that the service Center driver was at clear fault, and that the service will bill my car insurance for the repairs to my car (because I signed the waiver during handover which says - “Vehicle will be driven at owner’s risk, any damage will be debited against the consumer’s insurance. The dealership only provides pick up and drop service as a courtesy”. That means - no claim bonus for subsequent insurance years is GONE, and a record in insurance history of the car being accidental for the rest of the period - even when I myself wasn’t the person behind the wheel but the driver from the dealership. All this because of the waiver which conveniently mentioned a disclaimer in tiny letters.

To add to this fiasco, the cab driver that my Skoda hit (while being driven by the service Center driver) is demanding money for damages. Police arrives, and the matter shifts to the local police station. The Skoda representatives arrive at the station (extremely late might I add), only for them to advice me that let the cab driver do whatever they want (including starting a court trial for this), and that they’ll get my car out on superdhari and fight in court. I could NOT afford this, given the car is in my mother’s name and I can’t ever extend the stress of all this on her shoulders.

So what do I end up with? A car that’s damaged badly. Money that I’ve contributed (along with Skoda reps) to pay off the cab driver to arrive at a settlement (willingly so, but only because I was at the police station with them for over 6 hours and wanted this settlement to go through at any cost to avoid legal troubles in future), and no car to drive to and from work for 2 weeks. God knows what the condition of the car will be when I do get it back + what the future of this car’s ownership looks like. But, in all honesty, all of this seems too convenient for the Skoda dealership involved.

I could take them to court. I doubt the waiver they made me sign during handover has any legal standing in consumer court - but is it really worth the effort and time?

Its next to impossible to go without scratch/dents in India, no matter how safe you try to drive.

Few days back, when in Jejuri, I had parked my car, shop advertisement with stand came flying from nowhere and hit my bonnet. Though, it gave very minor non-noticable dent.

Today, I was standing to turn under flyover, msrtc bus came like superfast and scratched my Kylaq. Should I claim insurance?? If yes, what is the process?

Will they replace this entire part? There is very little scratch on light glass too...will that be replaced? What would be the charges I might have to pay?

Took a trip from lucknow to Gurgaon. AT with AC and ventilated seat on throughout the journey. Pretty good mileage.

After waiting for long for the new Kushaq facelift, went with my original booking of the Kylaq Signature Plus AT.

The Kushaq had a couple of month's waiting. The Kylaq was already in stock.

Only thing I didn't like is mine came with MRF Wanderer tyres 😭. Exchanging it for the Continental UC6 tomorrow morning. Already ordered.

Only accesories I added:

3D Mat

Mud Flap

Rear Sunblinds

Scuff Plates

Rain Visors

Hey everyone,

Got the PDI done today for our new Skoda Kylaq in Candy White. We don’t have any proper 3rd party PDI service available in our city, so my brother checked the car himself thoroughly.

Manufacturing is Feb 2026 and odometer was just 6 km, so that felt reassuring. No visible scratches/dents/panel gap issues noticed during inspection. Will make another post once delivery is done 😄

Here’s the car:

Quotation breakdown:

Ex-showroom: ₹8.2L

Insurance: ₹34.5k

Registration: ₹87k

Accessories: ₹8.5k

Total on-road: ~₹9.5L (Jaipur/Rajasthan)

We did NOT take:

SMP (service package)

Extended warranty

Now I’m in a bit of dilemma after reading owner discussions online 😅

Some people say SMP + EW are worth it for peace of mind with Škoda ownership, while others say you can decide later depending on usage.

Our usage won’t be daily city driving. We already have another car for rough/local work. This one will mostly be for:

family trips,

highways,

outings,

and long drives.

So wanted honest suggestions from existing owners:

1. Is SMP really worth taking later?

2. Should extended warranty be taken immediately or can it wait?

3. Also, I believe only the 1k km welcome/checkup service is free, right?

Would appreciate genuine ownership advice from Kylaq/Kushaq owners 🙌

Would really appreciate if someone can help me with the number wise use of these buttons!

Camera is certainly not doing the justice. Looks brilliant to the naked eye. Reflects like a mirror!

I recently bought Kylaq Signature plus. While the driving experience is very good I found a persistent issue with the AC. I feel the AC is not keeping the cabin as much cool as it should be compared to other cars. I mostly keep the AC on AUTO mode with recirculation mode on and the people sitting behind complains about the cabin being hot. If I manually lower the temperature to 18-19 then it feels good. Is there any fix to this?

What is the recommended way to keep cabin cool in Bangalore weather

1. Should i continue to keep it on AUTO
2. Should I keep the fan on along with AC?
3. is it recommended to keep recirculation mode on all the time?
4. what is this air care button in the middle? is it the air purifier

So I was playing around with a concept for a black Kylaq and wanted to keep it sporty without turning it into a cringe overdone “race car” build.
I seriously think that having something like this would really change the perception of the car.
What are your views on it?

What would be the cost of repair

A week old prestige plus AT! ❤️

Proof that even in a small car you can have massive entitlement issues. Paying for a small car and even smaller consideration for others smh

Saw this at Decathlon parking today. Everyone paid 50 for parking. Wonder he paid 100 for this amazing parking job 🤪

P.S - I have an even smaller car but I park perfectly and considerately to others everytime.

Can someone confirm this?
