24 Hours. 10 States. 1 Skoda Kylaq | India Road Trip Challenge | Special Feature | autoX

Sponsored: How far can you really go across India in 24 hours — through the real India? We set ourselves a simple yet ambitious target: to travel 10 states in 24 hours in a Skoda Kylaq, with the engine running non-stop, except for fuel and driver swaps. Our route spanned Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and finally West Bengal. We covered 1,452 km in 24 hours (and completed all 10 states in ~28 hours) with three drivers — Aakash, Karan and Shivank — doing 8-hour stints. Why the Kylaq? Its 1.0-litre TSI engine with a 6-speed torque-converter AT, sorted chassis and comfy suspension made light work of mountain twisties, broken B-roads and long expressway runs. Real-world fuel efficiency: 12.6 km/l on this drive. Watch the highs, lows, detours, rain, jams, livestock, and a proper slice of India — exactly as it happened. _________________________________________________________________ Also Read: Skoda Kylaq 10 States in 24 Hours Challenge - All in a Day's Work - https://www.autox.com/exclusive-stori... _________________________________________________________________ Presenter: Aakash Paul, Karan Mathur and Shivank Bhatt Cinematographer: Sunil Chauhan and Hiyan Chauhan Editor: Manish Bharti _________________________________________________________________ FOLLOW US: Instagram:   / autoxmag   Twitter:   / autox   Facebook:   / autox   LinkedIn:   / autox   Website: https://www.autox.com/ _________________________________________________________________ #SkodaKylaq #IndiaRoadTrip #10States24Hours #24HourChallenge #autoX 00:00 The Challenge & Rules 00:56 Route Planning: 10 States in a Day 01:43 Start: Dehradun, Uttarakhand 04:13 Touch-and-Go: Himachal & Haryana 05:50 Into UP → Delhi → back to UP 06:59 Driver Swap 1: Karan on Yamuna Expwy 08:30 The Rajasthan–MP Detour (Dholpur & Morena) 13:00 Night Push: Lucknow to Varanasi 15:10 Graveyard Shift: Rain, Diversions & Bihar 18:15 Race to the 9th State: Jharkhand at Dawn 23:56 On to West Bengal: Finishing the Plan 25:17 Kylaq Takeaways: Engine, AT, Ride & Steering 29:21 What We’d Do Differently Next Time 32:38 Verdict: Real-India Endurance, Not a Record
