In addition to 6 airbags, ESC, and tyre pressure monitoring system, it also gets a rear parking camera, which makes it a complete package.

Verdict

By saving up to Rs 2 lakh over the top-spec Prestige variant of the Kylaq, you can get its Signature Plus variant which has all modern amenities and is being offered with both manual and automatic transmission options. However, note that it still misses out on nicer features like powered and ventilated front seats, rain sensing wipers, a single-pane sunroof, and wireless phone charger.
