Recently launched new SUV from German Brand in India has scored full 5 Stars Safety Rating making it safer than the Mahindra XUV 3XO!

The Skoda Kylaq, a premium compact SUV, has undergone rigorous crash testing at Bharat NCAP, setting a benchmark for safety in its category. Here’s a detailed analysis of its performance in Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) and Child Occupant Protection (COP):

Skoda Kylaq – Adult Occupant Protection [AOP]

In the Adult Occupant Protection evaluation, the Skoda Kylaq delivered an outstanding performance, achieving a score of 30.88 out of 32.00. This highlights its robust safety features in various crash scenarios:

• Frontal Offset Deformable Barrier Test:
  The Kylaq scored 15.04 out of 16.00. The test demonstrated excellent protection for the driver’s and passenger’s head and neck, with good ratings across the chest, knees, and lower legs. Protection levels in this test emphasized the absence of any hazardous structures behind the dashboard.
• Side Movable Deformable Barrier Test:
  The SUV excelled in this test, securing 15.84 out of 16.00. The results showcased superior protection for critical body regions such as the head, chest, abdomen, and pelvis, ensuring occupant safety during side impacts.
• Side Pole Impact Test:
  The Kylaq maintained high safety standards in this test, offering good protection for the head and adequate ratings for the chest and abdomen, ensuring comprehensive occupant safety in real-world side-impact scenarios.

Skoda Kylaq – Child Occupant Protection [COP]

The Skoda Kylaq impressed with its Child Occupant Protection scores, achieving 45.00 out of 49.00. The results underscored its safety for child passengers, particularly when paired with recommended child restraint systems (CRS).

• Dynamic Test with CRS:
  The SUV was tested using Britax Römer Dualfix Plus for both 18-month-old and 3-year-old children. It achieved the maximum score of 8.00 out of 8.00 in both frontal and side impact tests for each age group. This indicates optimal protection for child occupants.
• CRS Installation:
  The second-row outboard seats are equipped with ISOFIX anchor points and standard CRS adjustability. However, i-Size compatibility is not available, and integrated CRS is also absent. Despite these limitations, the installation assessment ensured a secure and user-friendly setup for various CRS models.

Final Thoughts

The Skoda Kylaq has proven to be one of the safest vehicles in its segment, offering exceptional safety for both adults and children. With its high scores in AOP and COP, it reassures buyers of Skoda’s commitment to safety excellence.
