Though late to the club, the Skoda Kylaq sub-compact SUV is set to bring along a heft list of features and a long wheelbase to impress the occupants inside.

The Skoda Kylaq is set to be the latest entry-level addition to the carmaker’s SUV lineup. All ready for its global unveiling on November 6, the Kylaq sub-4m SUV will mark Skoda's debut in this highly competitive segment and will be sold in the Indian market by early 2025. While we've already compared the Kylaq’s powertrain specifications with its rivals — which you can check out here — it's time to look at other key figures recently highlighted by the brand.

In this story, we’ll be talking about the car’s dimensions and see how it measures up against its direct competitors. Let's find out:

Skoda Kylaq vs Sub-4m SUVs Dimensions

Skoda has recently revealed a few details about the Kylaq, including its length and wheelbase dimensions, but they’ve kept the height and width figures under wraps for now. So in this comparison, we’ll focus on the available dimensions.

Mahindra XUV 3XO

Maruti Fronx

As shown in the table above, the Skoda Kylaq measures 3,995 mm in length, which is in line with most other sub-4m SUVs. However, where it stands out is its wheelbase, which is slightly longer than nearly all its rivals, except for the Mahindra XUV 3XO. While the XUV 3XO boasts the longest wheelbase in this list, it falls short in overall length compared to the Kylaq. So, overall the Kylaq takes away a point here.

A longer wheelbase generally contributes to better ride comfort, as the increased distance between the front and rear wheels helps the car remain more stable over road bumps. It can also provide additional legroom for passengers, enhancing the overall driving experience.

From what has been divulged, the Kylaq is expected to come equipped with six airbags as standard and six-way adjustable seats with ventilation function.
