With car buyers prioritising safety while making their purchase decisions, carmakers now have an increased focus on obtaining a high score at NCAP. The latest to bag top honours at Bharat NCAP is Skoda, which has once again raised the bar with its Kylaq. The Skoda Kylaq has bagged a prestigious 5-star safety rating at the Bharat NCAP crash tests. With this, it has become the safest model in the B-SUV segment ahead of the Tata Nexon. It must be noted that the Kushaq and the Slavia have received similar top honours in the past.
Skoda Kylaq Passes Bharat NCAP Crash Tests with Flying Colours
The Kylaq is the first Skoda vehicle to participate in Bharat NCAP’s safety evaluations. And it has set the standard high by scoring 30.88 points in adult occupant protection and 45.00 points in child occupant protection. These scores not only reflect the SUV’s robust engineering but also position it ahead of key competitors like the Tata Nexon.
Safety Features That Stand Out
From the base variant, the Kylaq comes packed with over 25 active and passive safety features. Truly, the carmaker has taken a safety-first approach to set the Kylaq apart. Highlights of the safety net include:
- Six Airbags: Standard across all variants, ensuring all-round protection for all buyers.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC): Keeps you in control even in challenging driving conditions.
- Hill Hold Control: Makes steep climbs safer and stress-free.
- Multi-Collision Braking: Reduces the risk of secondary impacts in case of an accident.
All these features are designed to provide peace of mind for both drivers and passengers. As aforementioned, the Kylaq follows in the footsteps of its siblings, the Kushaq and Slavia. Both of these vehicles earned 5-star ratings in Global NCAP crash tests. With the Kylaq, Skoda now boasts of three mass-market products that offer top-notch safety.

My Take on the Skoda Kylaq’s Safety Feat
In a market where safety ratings are becoming increasingly important, the Kylaq’s achievement can’t be ignored. Its 5-star Bharat NCAP rating is a reassurance of the vehicle’s superior safety standards. As someone who’s passionate about cars, I’ve always admired Skoda’s approach to safety. The Kylaq’s performance in Bharat NCAP tests is no surprise but is certainly impressive. It’s not just about the numbers; it’s about what those numbers mean in real-world scenarios. The recent test ratings validate Kylaq’s combination of standard safety features and robust build quality.
By securing a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating, the Skoda Kylaq has set a new benchmark in the B-SUV segment. If you’re in the market for a car that prioritizes safety without compromising on style or features, the Kylaq appears to be a strong contender. Stay tuned for more updates on the Kylaq as I’ll be driving it around Goa next week!
