Our verdict

These two split the decision: the Proton Saga is रु 20,91,000 cheaper ex-showroom (41.8%), while the Skoda Kylaq is ahead on power and torque — so the answer depends on which of those you are buying for.

Choose the Proton Saga if
  • the ex-showroom price is your binding constraint
  • you want servicing within reach of where you live
  • you want a dealer close enough to visit and negotiate at

Measured: 14 more service centres in Nepal (17 vs 3); 41 more showrooms in Nepal (63 vs 22).

Choose the Skoda Kylaq if
  • you want the stronger powertrain for hill climbs and overtaking
  • you drive loaded, or climb steep gradients often

Measured: 24 PS more power; 61 Nm more torque.

Every figure in this verdict is computed from the table below — the same ex-showroom prices, variant specifications and Nepal service network the page publishes. Nothing here is an estimate, and where a figure is missing on one side the axis is left out rather than guessed.
