Skoda Is Evaluating a CNG Option with the 1‑Litre TSI Engine for the Kylaq Sub‑4 m SUV
.jpg)
DETAILS
Kylaq: The Affordable Skoda SUV
- Entry Price Range: ₹8.25–13.99 lakh (ex‑showroom)
- Powered by a 1‑litre TSI turbo‑petrol engine delivering 115 PS and 178 Nm
- Available with a 6‑speed manual or 6‑speed torque-converter automatic
- Holds a solid 5‑star Bharat NCAP safety rating, 446 L boot, ventilated seats, sunroof, and a 10‑inch touchscreen
Why Is Skoda Considering a CNG Version of Kylaq?
- Running costs for CNG vehicles are nearly 40–50% lower than petrol.
- Eco-friendliness is becoming a purchase priority for urban families.
- Competitors like Maruti Suzuki (Fronx, Brezza), Tata (Nexon iCNG), and Toyota (Taisor CNG) already offer CNG SUVs.
- Skoda already has global CNG experience with its G-TEC lineup—think Octavia G-TEC, Scala, and Citigo.
- For Indian roads, a CNG Kylaq could mean massive savings without compromising on performance or quality.
How Skoda Plans to Pull It Off
- Skoda’s India Brand Director Ashish Gupta recently confirmed that the CNG Kylaq is “definitely on the table.”
- Early-stage testing and layout sketches for integrating a CNG kit into the 1.0 TSI engine are already in progress.
- Initial launch could be manual-only, to keep costs in check—though an automatic + CNG variant might follow.
- A factory-fitted CNG kit is likely, but Skoda may also explore dealership-level retrofitting, similar to Honda Amaze.
Benefits & Challenges of a CNG Kylaq
- Lower running costs: Typical CNG mileage of 22–25 km/kg for turbo‑CNG setups
- Greater market appeal: Attracts budget-conscious buyers looking for eco‑friendly SUVs
- Engine tuning and performance: Turbo-petrol adaptations for CNG are more complex
- Transmission options: Likely to be manual-only to keep costs low, though Skoda may explore CNG + auto
- Infrastructure: CNG availability is variable across India—urban cities are better equipped than rural areas
