The model
Read full New Skoda Kamiq reviewThe Skoda Kamiq is a breath of fresh air in the small SUV class. It’s bigger, classier inside and more comfortable than the Seat Arona and VW T-Cross, and has clever features to help take the stresses out of modern family life. Overall, we prefer the nimbler Ford Puma and plusher VW T-Roc but that shouldn't stop you considering the Kamiq.
The trim
See full equipmentRange-topping Monte Carlo trim doesn't make much financial sense, but it does come packed with kit. We're talking 18in black alloy wheels, black roof rails, sports front seats and a panoramic sunroof. It also offers useful features such as full matrix LED headlights, a heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise control and wireless smartphone charging.
The engine
See full engine specsRange-topping 148bhp 1.5 TSI Evo 150 feels punchy with 0-62mph taking just 8.3 seconds. However, this engine pushes the Kamiq’s price into the territory of the VW T-Roc and other larger, more grown-up cars.
