00:00Welcome to the video by the Car Magazine Tuning Blog about the Škoda Kailak, the new SUV in
00:11subcompact format. Škoda is expanding its portfolio with this compact vehicle that is
00:16perfectly tailored to the Indian market. Unfortunately, from a European perspective,
00:20it is a bit disappointing. The Kailak is only available in India, where it is also developed
00:26and produced. The starting price for this SUV in India is around 789,000 Indian rupees,
00:33the equivalent of just under 8,700 euros. A bargain compared to the cheapest Škoda in Germany,
00:41the Fabia, which costs over 19,000 euros. The Škoda Kailak is equipped with a three-cylinder TSI
00:50petrol engine that delivers 115 horsepower and achieves a torque of 178 newton meters.
00:56In combination with this engine, the Kailak accelerates to 100 km per hour in 10.5 seconds
01:04and reaches a top speed of 188 km per hour. Values that are quite impressive for a compact SUV.
01:15The basis of the Klar is the MQB-Auen platform from the Volkswagen Group, which has been specially
01:21adapted for India and enables cost-efficient production while also being tailored to the
01:25specific needs of the Indian market. In terms of design, the Škoda Kilisik impresses with typical
01:34modern SUV features such as the striking four-eyed face at the front, which seamlessly integrates it
01:40into the current Škoda design language. At just under 4 meters long, the compact body deliberately
01:47remains smaller than a VWT Cross or Siderona, for example. The width of 1.78 meters and the height of 1.62 meters
01:56nevertheless make the Klarik appear robust and spacious. Škoda has opted for a clear and functional
02:02design with undivided taillights and the traditional brand logo on the bonnet. This is a difference to future
02:09European models, which will rely on the new, more modern design concept. Inside, the Kilisik offers solid
02:17technical equipment. A 10-inch infotainment display allows smartphones to be displayed via Apple CarPlay
02:24and Android Auto. An 8-inch instrument display is available for the driver. Depending on the version,
02:34the Kilisik can also be equipped with automatic air conditioning and electrically adjustable ventilated seats
02:39to meet the special climatic conditions in India. With the Kyle, Škoda has developed a vehicle that is
02:48precisely tailored to the needs of the Indian market and offers an affordable alternative in the SUV segment.
02:56Due to the cost effective production in India, Škoda can offer the model at an unbeatable price,
03:02which is not possible in Europe due to the strict homologation regulations.
03:07In this country, the Fabio will therefore continue to be the cheapest Škoda model.
03:13Even if one might become a little envious in view of the price and equipment of the Kalak.
