Same money, which car?
Take ₹12.99L to both showrooms and you come out with the AircrossX Turbo Max at ₹12.97L or the Kylaq Prestige+ at ₹12.99L.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.02L more for the Kylaq Prestige+: the Kylaq Prestige+ shifts itself while the other is a manual. It also adds single-pane sunroof. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Kylaq Prestige+: 6-way powered driver seat, rear parking camera, cruise control and auto headlamps, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Kylaq Prestige+, you give up touchscreen (10.25" against 10.1"), which the AircrossX Turbo Max keeps
- Choose the Citroen AircrossX Turbo Max if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.02L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Skoda Kylaq Prestige+ if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
