Skoda has added the new Sportline variant to the Kylaq lineup, priced at Rs 11.32 lakh for the manual and Rs 12.32 lakh for the automatic, ex-showroom. Positioned between the Signature+ and Prestige trims, the Skoda Kylaq Sportline brings a sportier, blacked-out design and select equipment upgrades without changing the Kylaq’s engine or gearbox.
This article covers the Kylaq Sportline’s price, where it sits in the expanded Kylaq lineup, what’s different on the outside and inside, its engine and gearbox options, features, safety kit, mileage and practicality, and whether it’s worth choosing over the rest of the lineup.
Skoda Kylaq Sportline Price in India
The Kylaq Sportline is priced at Rs 11.32 lakh (ex-showroom) with the 6-speed manual gearbox, and Rs 12.32 lakh (ex-showroom) with the 6-speed automatic. It’s sold as a single trim with the choice of these two transmissions, not multiple sub-variants.
Within the Kylaq range, which now runs from Rs 7.59 lakh to Rs 12.99 lakh (ex-showroom) across seven trims, the Sportline is priced roughly Rs 55,000 above the Signature+ variant and around Rs 43,000 below the Prestige variant, on both transmission options. Alongside the Sportline launch, Skoda also added auto AC (Climatronic) and a rear defogger to the entry-level Classic and Classic+ trims.
Skoda Kylaq Sportline Variants
The Skoda Kylaq Sportline is available in a single trim, with buyers getting a choice of a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic gearbox. The manual is priced at ₹11.32 lakh, while the automatic costs ₹12.32 lakh, ex-showroom.
Engine and Performance
The Kylaq Sportline uses the same 1.0-litre, three-cylinder, direct-injection turbo-petrol (TSI) engine as the rest of the range, producing 115hp and 178Nm of torque. It’s offered with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque-converter automatic.
There are no mechanical changes to the engine, power output, or transmission. Despite the name, this isn’t a performance variant; it’s a styling package on the standard Kylaq mechanicals.
Exterior Design
The Sportline gets several blacked-out elements for a sportier look, similar to the Sportline treatment already seen on the Kushaq and Slavia:
- Blacked-out 17-inch alloy wheels
- Black outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs)
- Faux skid plates on both bumpers and on the roof, finished in black
- A roof-mounted spoiler
- ‘Sportline’ badges on the C-pillar and tailgate
- The Skoda wordmark between the tail-lights finished in black
The Sportline also brings projector LED headlamps and front LED fog lamps with cornering functionality to the Kodiaq range; lower variants continue with reflector-based LED headlights. Skoda is offering a separate Sportline accessory pack for further personalisation, which includes front bumper corner garnishes, a dark-chrome grille garnish, fender garnishes with the Skoda logo, and gloss-black side mouldings. Pricing for this pack hasn’t been announced yet.
Interior and Comfort
Inside, the Sportline gets a darker cabin theme with black leatherette seats, white contrast stitching, and a ‘Sportline’ inscription on the headrests. Aluminium pedals and white ambient lighting add to the sportier feel.
Equipment carried over from the rest of the range includes a single-pane electric sunroof, wireless phone charging, Climatronic automatic climate control, a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with 6 speakers, and an 8-inch digital driver’s display. None of this is exclusive to the Sportline; it’s the cabin theme and upholstery treatment that set it apart, not the underlying equipment list.
Features
Key features include:
- 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- 8-inch digital driver’s display
- Wireless phone charging
- Climatronic automatic climate control
- Electric sunroof
- Sportline-specific interior treatment
- Aluminium pedals
- White ambient lighting
Safety Features
The entire Kylaq range, including the Sportline, comes with 6 airbags as standard and carries a 5-star Bharat NCAP safety rating. Standard safety equipment across the range includes electronic stability control, hill-hold assistance, traction control, a reversing camera, and curtain airbags. Skoda hasn’t offered ADAS on the Kylaq range so far, and the Sportline’s launch doesn’t change that.
Mileage and Practicality
Skoda hasn’t published a separate ARAI mileage figure specific to the Sportline. Since it uses the same engine and gearbox combinations as the rest of the Kylaq range, the applicable claimed figures are 19.05 kmpl for the automatic and 19.68 kmpl for the manual.
In terms of practicality, the Kylaq’s boot space is rated at 446 litres, expandable to 1,265 litres with the rear seats folded, and the ground clearance stands at 189mm. Skoda hasn’t flagged any dimensional changes for the Sportline, so these figures should carry over unchanged. It continues as a 5-seater.
Skoda Kylaq Sportline vs Other Kylaq Variants
| Factor | Kylaq Signature+ | Kylaq Sportline | Kylaq Prestige |
| Price | About Rs 55,000 less than Sportline | Rs 11.32–12.32 lakh | About Rs 43,000 more than Sportline |
| Engine | 1.0L TSI, 115hp/178Nm | Same | Same |
| Gearbox | 6-speed MT / 6-speed AT | Same | Same |
| Key styling | Standard chrome-accented styling | Blacked-out elements, spoiler, Sportline badging | Standard chrome-accented styling |
| Notable extras | — | Cornering fog lamps, projector LED headlamps. | Slightly more comfort-oriented equipment than Sportline |
| Safety | 6 airbags, 5-star Bharat NCAP | Same | Same |
The differences between these three trims are mainly in styling and equipment, while the engine, gearbox and core safety package remain the same.
What Does the Sportline Add to the Kylaq?
You get:
- A distinct, blacked-out sporty look inside and out
- Sportline-specific badging, cabin theme and upholstery
- Cornering LED fog lamps and projector headlamps, standard from this trim upward
- A roughly Rs 55,000 premium over Signature+ for the Sportline’s styling and equipment
You don’t get:
- A different engine or more power; it’s the same 115hp/178Nm unit as the rest of the range
- A faster or different gearbox
- Comfort features exclusive to Prestige and Prestige+, such as powered seats.
The Sportline name refers to appearance, not performance. It’s worth going in with that expectation.
Is the SSkoda KushaqSportline Worth Buying?
Consider the Sportline if:
- You like the blacked-out, sportier styling and want it without paying Prestige-level prices
- Cornering fog lamps and projector headlamps matter to you
- You’re cross-shopping around the Rs 11–12 lakh bracket and want the Kylaq to stand out visually
Consider another Kylaq variant if:
- Styling isn’t a priority, ty and you’d rather save the roughly Rs 55,000 premium over Signature+
- You want features such as electrically adjustable and ventilated front seats, which are available on the Prestige+
- You’re fine with the standard chrome-accented look and want to spend less
Final Verdict
The Skoda Kylaq Sportline is a new variant added to the existing Kylaq lineup, not a facelift or a mechanically upgraded model. It sits between Signature+ and Prestige, priced at Rs 11.32 lakh for the manual and Rs 12.32 lakh for the automatic, ex-showroom. It brings blacked-out exterior styling, a darker cabin theme, and a couple of lighting upgrades, but no changes to the engine, gearbox, or core safety equipment. It makes sense for buyers who want the sportier look and don’t need Prestige-level comfort features. If styling isn’t a priority, a Signature+ or Prestige variant may offer better value depending on what you’re looking for.
