New spy images of the upcoming Skoda Kylaq have appeared online, giving us a sneak peek at how the SUV will look from the side and rear. The test mule is completely camouflaged, but we can tell that it has blacked-out alloy wheels and silver roof rails. Moreover, the taillights seem to have an inverted L shape. Other potential details include split headlamps and a more distinctive grille with vertical slats. While the price is still unknown, Skoda revealed some important details about the SUV ahead of its global launch on November 6. The upcoming car is 3,995mm long, with a wheelbase of 2,566mm, and a ground clearance of 189mm. It has more than 25 active and passive safety features, including passenger airbag de-activation, multi-collision braking, six airbags, traction and stability control, roll-over protection, motor slip regulation, ABS with EBD, brake disc wiping, and electronic differential lock.
