• While London remains a popular place to live, moving further afield can give you more room for your money. Similarly, the Skoda Kamiq is roomier than many of the most popular small SUVs but undercuts the price of many of them.
• Even better, it's been given a facelift for 2024 with tweaks to its styling, trim levels and engine range to help it stand out among a growing number of rival car models.
Well, we say, step forward. The Kamiq has always lacked the visual wow factor of the divisive Nissan Juke and handsome VW T-Roc, and this mid-life facelift has done little to change that. Instead, we find a slightly sharper exterior thanks to slimmed-down headlights and a sportier-looking body kit, while the interior now features more comfortable materials and upgraded technology.
We think the stealthy nature of these changes isn't a bad thing. The new Kamiq should be every bit as practical as the previous version, retaining all its “Simple Clever” features (an umbrella in the door, an ice scraper in the fuel filler cap, etc.).
So watch the video until the end to find out if the latest updates are enough to equip the Skoda Kamiq with the tools it needs to compete with the best small SUVs like the Ford Puma and Lexus LBX
Skoda Kamiq brings a new breath to the small SUV class. It's bigger, sleeker and more comfortable inside than the Seat Arona and VW T-Cross, and has smart features to help take the stress out of modern family life. Overall, we prefer the more agile Ford Puma and the more comfortable VW T-Roc, but that shouldn't stop you from considering the Kamiq.
The Skoda Kamiq engine range starts with the 94 hp 1.0 TSI 95, which comes with a five-speed manual transmission. It can feel a little slow at low revs, but once you get going there's enough power to keep you comfortable at highway speeds.
The 1.5 TSI 150 is the smoothest engine in the range, but it's worth noting that the hybrid LBX is quieter than any Kamiq model in the city due to its ability to run on electric power.
Depending on the equipment package of the vehicle, you can see the fabric upholstery offered inside. At the rear, the armrest with a cup holder, storage space above the shaft tunnel, ventilation grilles, and 2 Type-C outlets are among the prominent details in this area. Apart from this, the areas behind the front seats where you can store your belongings are also quite generous. There is also a device behind the headrests of the front seats where you can place a tablet. The wide and one-piece glass roof is one of the design details that is highly appreciated in Skoda Kamiq reviews. In this way, the interior of the vehicle is quite spacious. Finally, in the rear, the vehicle also manages to offer very good head and leg room for its class.
