Between the two compact SUVs, the Skoda Kylaq would be a better choice. It is a nicer car to drive and is stronger in important areas like performance. It gets a more powerful 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, a slick 6-speed manual gearbox, and compact dimensions that make it easy to drive in the city.
The feature list is a mixed bag. The Kylaq gets cruise control, tilt-and-telescopic steering adjustment, and LED headlamps, but misses out on automatic climate control, front parking sensors, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Ride comfort is better in the Kylaq, and rear-seat space is slightly better as well.
Overall, the Kylaq is the better option and our recommendation. Both SUVs are futureproof for spares and service, and that should not be a concern.
