Looking to make one your next purchase? We’ve picked out the best features the Kamiq has to offer…
High-levels of safety
Under scrutiny of the independent Euro NCAP safety board, the Skoda Kamiq stole the show with a top-marks, five-star rating. This is in part thanks to impressive safety kit that includes front assist and lane keep assist for no extra cost to the customer.
Impressive engines
Skoda’s excellent range of 1.0-litre petrol engines are offered on the Kamiq, with 113bhp its current highest output. These units deliver big on efficiency too, with Skoda saying it’s capable of returning 53.3mpg in its most potent guise while emitting just 150g/km of CO2.
Loads of boot space
Need luggage space? The Skoda Kamiq can offer that in spades. Its boot offers up to 400 litres of room with all of its seats in place — rising up to 1,395 litres with the back row folded flat. Compare that with a Volkswagen Golf’s 380 litres, and it looks very impressive
Cutting-edge technology
Hop inside a high-spec Kamiq, and you’ll find a crystal-clear 9.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system — supporting both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. On top of that, LED headlights are a standard feature while the cabin is awash with USB-C ports which lets modern mobile devices make the most of its charging facilities.

Stand-out looks
Many doubters will say the crossover market is full of lookalikes, but the Skoda Kamiq does well to stand out. It’s bold and sharp silhouette makes an impact that’s only heightened by its futuristic slim headlights and striking rear design.
Comfort for everyone
Everyone in the Skoda Kamiq will be comfortable. With the rear seats offering a remarkable level of legroom without having to compromise on space for those upfront, its boxy shape lends well to headroom. Its ride is also very supple, even more so on smaller alloy wheels.
Affordable pricing
Starting at just £17,700, the Skoda Kamiq offers a lot of car for the money. Those wanting the absolute best in the Czech firm’s kit offerings can step right up to SE L for only £21,180, bringing equipment like its large touchscreen, keyless start and a microsuede interior upholstery.
