The Skoda SUVs share the 115hp, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and the 6-speed MT and AT gearbox options.
As we noted when we tested their real world performance, the Skoda Kylaq and Kushaq have plenty in common, from the body panels and interior to the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and manual and automatic gearbox options. However, the Kylaq is smaller and weighs less, which accounts for the difference in ARAI fuel economy figures between the compact SUV and the mid-size SUV. The heavier Kushaq is rated between 18.09kpl (AT) and 19.76kpl (MT), while the Kylaq has an ARAI-certified 19.05kpl (AT) to 19.68kpl (MT) figure, depending on the gearbox. We’re going to find out if the difference in mileage is consistent in the real world with our tests.
